Elite design ideas for HI

For me, Reach nailed the elites in everything, in gameplay, behaviour, balancing, EXCEPT for their look. It changed too much from bungie’s original design. For Infinite, the best thing they could do with them IMO is: bring the Reach elites back, but make their appearance look more like the original ones. Like in this quick sketch I drew, for example:

I added a spice of Halo Wars 2/2 Anniversary as well. Also it’d be nice if they talked with subtitles like in H4.
What do you think?

As a Sangheili player, nothing would make me happier than to don elite armor, wield my energy sword and say “wort wort”. when it comes to cosmetics the kind in Halo 3, 2 Anniversary, and Reach truly brings out their elegant classic designs. For me, these armors would truly make them shine.
