a lot of the arguments i have been seeing for elites not being in multiplayer is “it would break canon” the anvil initiative is a canon example of elites training with spartans in a war game simulation so please stop with the “its no canon” cop out. http://www.halopedia.org/Anvil_Station
It’s not the canon-multiplayer that stops 343i from putting Elites in multiplayer. It’s balance.

not that i know of, but they are still in war games

It’s a simulation. Why would it matter if Elites serve on the Infinity? Considering the joint ops Elites and Spartans have already done together, there is no canon excuse anymore for why Elites cannot be in MP.

But not on the Infinity, which is what the War Games multiplayer is played on. If there are no Elites in Halo Online then this would be a serious problem, but as Halo 5 War Games is on the Infinity, the “not canon” argument is valid.

It was invalid in Halo 4 with the flood.

What, balance from infection, and all of the other just for fun playlists? Warzone is the last thing that needs balance to start off the list, it would have been great to play as elites and spartans in warzone.
The only thing elites could have caused problems with was arena gameplay, which they could have easily banned elite play in. The balance excuse is a bad one.

Because Warzone is balanced?
To added Elites to mp they would either have to redesign their hitboxes to be the same as the Spartans in some way (Which brings its own problems) Or just live with the fact that they have different hitboxes. Which is a problem in many game modes.

it would be great to have them just in warzone, that way the arena aspect stays balanced

I’m not sure Warzone is balanced… With microtransaction sections and weapon Changing attachments it looks fun but I’m not sure balanced is the right word.

You still get Reqs. You get them by leveling up and what not. So that part is not unbalanced.

Yes I know that technically they are, I am referring to Halo 5’s multiplayer War Games, which take place on the Infinity. But given that Halo 4 had the Flood then there really is no reason, other than that I don’t particularly care for playing as a simulation. I want my Elite to be real.

What part about loadouts, ordinance drops and armor abilities in halo 4 was balanced? What part about Warzone and requisition cards that can be bought with micro transactions in Halo 5 is balanced? There’s not a single valid argument as to why they aren’t playable.

No but they have participated in war games before because of ANVIL and Elites even go on joint ops with spartans as stated in hunters in the dark, even after all this elites have stepped foot on infinity before you even see it in the new halo 5 campaign trailer; Halo 5 E3 Campaign Demo - YouTube
29 seconds in you see elites on the infinity.
