I’m not entirely sure if this has been a topic, as I couldn’t find a thread in the search. But I was majorly disappointed when I found out they made a game where it’s Elites vs. Spartans in Halo: Reach, but give you a handful of generic presets while playing the Elite side. Granted some of them are -Yoink!-, but I’d like to be able to choose what my Elite wears, just like my Spartan.
I understood why they aren’t able to release this with the TU/CEA due to the lack of resources and time, but why it wasn’t there initially is outrageous. You could’ve at very least just given us the retro Halo 3 armor just revamped and I would’ve been content.
Fix this in Halo 4.
I agree with this. Elites should be added back to regular game modes & should have customizable armor. Screw the MLG fans, if Elite’s really are a big problem just ban them in tourneys.
Worse comes to worst maintain the custom options to restrict player model. But let it be available to players in Customs. And in SOME playlists make it so there can only be Spartans or Elites.
I’m sure noone will mind if MLG still has Spartan-only settings. And if they are statistically the same that should be the only playlist it matters in.
I understand that Bungie didn’t include the option to customize the Elites because they wanted them to look uniform, but I was saddened that they weren’t customizable. I look forward to having they customizable in future games.
I just want them back in MM. I like the uniform look. But it would be better if they would use MORE than 9 permutations. And it would be REALLY nice if they would re-create Elite looks from Halo CE, and 2, instead of constantly trying (and failing) to make new armor players will like.

Honestly, I don’t see a reason why the Elite model matters at all. The only difference is that it’s slightly taller.

In Reach they balanced it out so Elites move faster, Jump higher, have 1 DMR shots’ extra shield strength, recharge shields faster, and recharge health without healthpacks.
This was all just to compensate for the fact that Elites are about twice the size of a Spartan and will soak up more bullets from any weapon in the game (Bloom has less effect against an Elite than a Spartan, basically. So Spam actually hits every time instead of some of the time).
What they SHOULD do is create an Elite model that stands up so they are shaped the same as a Spartan (Reach does this perfectly), and then SCALE THE MODEL so it is the same size as a Spartan is. Then make all of their stats the same and voila. a Perfectly balanced Elite model that has NO advantage or disadvantage over a Spartan.
i’d like it if it was like halo 3 when you could just be a spartan or an elite
I had made a thread similar to this. But yes, I’d want this, AND to choose when I want to be an Elite, all the time. Just games like SWAT, or MLG, they were broken in Halo 3 apparently, so I wouldn’t mind not being able to be one in those game-types.
Eh, I’m not an Elite fan so I could care less if they have customization for it or not. I think they should focus their time/work elsewhere, to be honest.
Purchaseable Elite/Spartan armor would be beast. I’d like to see MM focus more around dual-species gameplay opposed to just spartans.
I would love elite customization I love elites
Bring back customization for split jaws. Also let’s not make them hunched back, Reach got it right IMO. Much more intimidating and alien like this way.
If they do have Elites, there should also be choices in armor depicting all permutations from previous games. This includes the Arbiter and all H3 and Reach models.
I really would like to see Elites in multiplayer again and an Elites vs Spartans Slayer type game again.
yes, there should be more elite customization in Halo: 4.
I think there was going to be more elite customization in Halo: Reach, but they cut it for some reason.
Elites should be treated the same as spartans and should get all the same perks.
That is speciesism or something.

Lol. Speciesism. Don’t even care if that’s a word. It’s very much true, but it made me laugh. Don’t be hatin’ on the dinosaurs.

I believe it is because Bungie wanted you to feel attached to Noble six through customization and defending Reach. Since you don’t play with an Elite in campaign, they thought there was little point of full Elite customization since Reach was supposed to be a “human” story.
I would like to see a covanat version of the armory like in halo reach if it will still have the armory in halo 4 because ive always wanted to play as a elite in honor gaurd armour or in the arbiters.

I want to tell you that the OP has nothing to do with having Elites in regular matches alongside Spartans. Also, I feel that is a bad idea. Elites are awesome, but putting them into regular matches would mean they have to be the same height and have the same stats and that just does not do them true justice.
Overall I agree with more customization, always.
