You all know that the Spartans in Halo 5 have Spartan Abilities right? Well if you don’t, here are what the Spartans are able to do:
Have Unlimited Sprint-You can sprint for as long as you want but there’s a price to pay. While sprinting, your Spartan’s shield will not recharge.- Stabilize In Midair-A Spartan’s Mjolnir GEN2 software now includes a custom smart-link that provides greater aim accuracy while in the air via the HUD, whether jumping or hovering. Before you think about hovering too much, keep in mind this leaves your character temporarily exposed.- Ground Pound-It’s sort of like the Mario games, but with an even deadlier impact. When you’re in the air, you have the option to “Ground Pound” which means that you can smash the ground and create a deadly explosion with a short blast radius. It’s a great way to achieve more than one kill at once, but it’s difficult to pull off on moving enemies.- Clamber-Now you can now pull yourself up onto a ledge when you jump on it.- Thruster Pack-All Spartans are equipped with Thruster Packs which allow you to boost in any direction, even in the air. There’s a cool down between uses.- Spartan Charge-When you Sprint to your maximum potential speed, you can unleash a devastating shoulder bash guaranteed to surprise your foes.- Slide-This lets you slide to avoid incoming fire or quickly get behind cover. But what will Elites be able to do? Oh wait, nobody even knows if we will be able to play as Elites. [-_-] For now, let’s just assume that Elites will be playable. What can they do? Well, here’s what I think. I think that they should have some of the same abilities but some should be different. Instead of Thruster Packs for Elites, I think that Elites should have Evade. In Halo Reach, Evade was a good way of getting out of the way of bullets being shot at you and you looked good doing it. In the Campaign, Evade was only common for Elites so they should have it in Halo 5 for Elites since Spartans have Thruster Packs. But since Evade allowed players to do combat rolls that got you farther than the Thruster Packs in Halo 5, the Spartans’ Thrusters should be more powerful (Thrusters can thrust you farther) so that those abilities are more “equal”. Also, I think that Elites should be able to have Active Camouflage instead of Slide. Should Active Camouflage have a longer cool-down time than usually since it may be a “better” ability than slide and the others? Another feature that Elites should have is Roar. Elites should be able to emit a terrifying roar just like actual Elites have been known to do. <---- That would be great for Machinimas, etc.
Do you guys have any ideas for Spartan/Elite abilities? If you do, please discuss.
Giving Elites evade would put them at a big disadvantage under the Spartans. I agree that Elites should have abilities but that they should be balanced against the Spartans. I also think that the Arbiter coming back is a pretty good indicator that Elites will, in fact, be playable

I was just wondering, how would giving Elites evade be giving them a disadvantage? Could you try to explain?

Evade can only be used when on the ground, while thrusters can be used on the ground or in mid-air. Thrusters also make some “Spartan Abilities” possible, like the stabilizers and hovering to aim a ground pound.
IF Elites are playable in Halo 5: Guardians, I’d suggest having the same abilities as the Spartans (there’s no reason Elites can’t do what these new abilities entail), with their armor equipped with either thrusters or anti-gravity packs (like those of Elite Rangers).
Evade: Elites can use 2-4 Evades in a quick session and then they will get a cooldown
Active Camo (Cloak): Elites can go invisible for xx amount of time and have a long cooldown
Rage mode: will make the Elite win in Sword fight against Spartans and will make the Elite more agile and and stronger and it has very long cooldown or can only be used once in 1 life.
Yes, if elites are in Halo 5 the. It would be nice to have different skills but are also equals to spartan’s so all those Spartans out there don’t complain. GO ELITES!!!

Spartans get unlimited sprint, Elites get UNLIMITED ACTIVE CAMO!!! like in campaign, AND it is the camo of the Halo trilogy, not the fade in fade out junk camo of reach/4.
Elites will have clamber, it’s just a mechanic that they’ve used in previous campaigns.
jet pack like what H2 elite rangers and heretic leader have? (which could imply their own thruster mechanics)
