Just wondering how many of you prefer to play as elites or would enjoy them in halo 5. I personally grew up with Halo 2 and thought playing as the elites was the coolest thing, played as an elite since then (excluding halo 4). I;m not saying I won’t buy H5G if the elites are not playable, but it would certainly be a disappointment to me, I’m sure others as well.
Sniper bullet inbound…
Definitely. It wouldn’t break the game for me if it wasn’t there, but it would definitely disappoint a great deal of the community. Besides, elites are cool. I myself only truly enjoyed playing as them in Reach, but to have them back would definitely be great.
The title’s a wee bit over the top, eh?
You had me thinkin’ you were gonna write an epic about having playable Sanghelli in MP, damn it all!
Always played as an Elite in Halo 2 and thought it was a great addition to the game. Elites are my favourite species and I hope they return in multiplayer.
I always preferred Spartans, but it would be nice to see some elites, gotta love dem easy headshots

Not so easy in Halo 3…
I would love to see Elites in the multiplayer, although I didn’t play as an Elite in the other titles. I just love the diversity of the online, w/ some being Spartans and having a couple Elites as well.
Personally, I’m hoping that the arena multiplayer portion stays as Spartan vs. Spartan simulations. But I hope that in the larger game modes (which are all-but confirmed), it plays more like Invasion from Reach and has Spartan vs. Elite gameplay. Either that, or just have the option to play as an elite.
My point is, I want playable elites to be somewhere in Halo 5 multiplayer.
Also, I really liked the title of this thread.
I want Elites to return, I’ve always played as them whenever possible. And if 343 does bring them back, I hope they scale them down for multiplayer. What’s the point of choosing a different character to play as if it just makes it easier for other people to hit you?

This I agree with if Elites are brought back they need to be like the ones from Reach taller and faster than Spartans but only allowed in certain game modes such as Invasion etc if they bring it back.

I think they should play virtually identical to Spartans, a la Halo 2, balanced out with a smaller hit box for a head shot.
I would personally love to have playable elites return to the franchise in multiplayer, espeicaly now that the Arbiter has returned to the scene, making it also likely that the campaign will include friendly elites. I have always played as an elite, and it would be a large disappointment if it doesn’t make a return at some point.
I think Reach has it right with The Invasion mode, one team Spartans, one team elites.

No sorry I disagree they played better and looked better in Reach actually more menacing. Also because of the different shapes etc of the characters and where the hit boxes are it just imbalances the game from a competitive standpoint for normal slayer etc. Having different game modes like Invasion are fine however as that is how they are intended to be played.
If they do bring the elites back for multiplayer (I hope they do) I would hope that the armor be more customization and not just an armor set we are limited to. Like different helmet, chest, shoulders, etc
I would love to see a new Invasion playlist that game was so fun
The lack of playable elites in Halo 4 is the sole reason I only played it for a month after beating the campaign and haven’t touched it since.
Without playable sangheili, I will not be buying the game, and will only rent it for the story.

Et tu, elite?
The only times it should force us to play as a spartan is if its invasion or arena
