I have seen threads on flood maps as well as the new raid on apex 7, as we know there are a fair amount of warzone maps to come, and free dlc coming, so we probably wont have to pay. It will be quite easy with AI from campaign and one team can be elites and the other Spartans. This would also appeal to invasion fans like myself, as well as playable elite fans. What do you guys think and any ideas on bosses? I was thinking of lekgolo making a structure to show off how the combine and what they can do… A lot of topics for a 50 character title thread. Anyway, discuss!
Why would they say there weren’t any playable elites if there actually were? Let it go, there won’t be playable elites at launch.

not at launch but as dlc.
Yunno, come to think of it a Warzone map with Spartan and Mantis bosses would be pretty cool. 24 Elites fighting off hornets and warthogs and stuff xD

What would be really awesome is if there were playable elites at launch and 343i was just lying to us so that they could surprise us. Hopefully the same thing with split-screen.
I don’t see a problem with adding playable Elites to Warzone. You don’t have to worry about the whole Spartan Abilities thing since Warzone isn’t about balance and one of it’s key features is customization. the Elites could have their own “Elite Abilities.” Maybe it wouldn’t work on all of the maps, but I don’t see why some maps couldn’t be dedicated to the addition of playable Elites.

Nah, they said that they would never outright lie to us.
Well, Josh Holmes cleared up the whole “playable Elites” thing in that Q&A. When asked about playing as different races:
> Everyone plays as a Spartan in Halo 5 multiplayer. This includes both Warzone and Arena.

everyone plays as a Spartan, but not saying anything about elites, its like 2&3, everyone plays as Spartans, unless they choose not too. Its a possibility its a DLC, I don’t expect it at launch.

I thought that. Have a few standard maps, a few winter ones maybe, elite ones and possibly flood ones 
or lekgolo… Haha

copy models from campaign, add in a few animations for warzone and design a HUD… Everything else can be Spartan characteristics.
cant be that hard can it or am I missing something?

I’m no game designer but I think it’s much more difficult than you think it is.

I realise that, but they have already programmed Spartans, all it would be is textures, Spartan abilites and animations I would have thought. We need some guy to explain this, but I get what you are saying.

I’d like to think it’s somewhat feasible, considering we’ve seen the entirety of Halo 3: ODST crammed into one measly DLC for the master chief collection…

they could probably fit it an an update. But odst had no firefight, so I am not buying… Although the campaign was so fun

Elites are bigger than Spartans, so that throws a lot off. You also need to think about hitboxes and such. With bigger Elites, they’re much easier to hit and get headshots on, which gives them a disadvantage in gameplay. When you scrunch up the Elites to make the hitboxes match, they’re harder to headshot.
There’s a lot that needs to go into playable Elites besides animations and such.

yeah, I’m not going to argue, I see your point and I am making myself look stupid. I would just like to have some incentive to play what I consider a btb/invasion mash with AI and a bit of 3 plots with bosses.
Since it was fully confirmed that they’re not in, I wouldn’t get your hopes up. Thinking otherwise is grasping at straws at best.
