Halo 5: 343 plz give us elites in multiplayer

i would like to play as an elite in mm and im sure other people will to. Not only does it bring variety to the game, but it adds a sense of a greater individuality than just customizing your armor

Do you realized as an elite, you are an easier target for the enemy to kill? This is because of their over-sized body. In that case, why would you play as an elite?

in the overall picture it doesnt matter. you still die as fast or as slow as spartans. Its a video game not real life

Right, but why would you want to play as an elite if you’re a bigger target?

it doesnt really matter to me. you size shouldnt matter if you can still bring down the enemy just as effectively. Im an elite in h2, h2a, and h3 and it feels the same as playing as a spartan except the hud and body models are different

If Elites are going to be added, they need to be added in Social playlists only and cannot be reskinned Spartans. They need to be bigger, with stronger shields, and “Elite Abilities” unless of course Elites were implemented into the Spartan Program…

that is an interesting thought. However, i like it like halo 3/2 where your an elite no matter what

Considering the balancing issues Elites can present, I think limiting them to specific playlists and Custom Games would be a fair compromise for everybody. Though Halo 2-3’s Elites were perfectly serviceable, Reach’s approach felt more reasonable to me. Elites are different than Spartans, and that should be reflected in how they’re played, even if only in a small way. That can be problematic for ranked playlists, but it can work in a wide array of other situations.

They could still be added into competitive by having elite v elite options
.

I don’t understand why people would wanna play Halo 2/3 elites those guys never looked appealing, they’re balanced yes but so what?

I play as Elites whenever I wanted to, back in the day but never really thought that they were something

Then Reach came out and I loved how Bungie implemented them in the game.

Faster, Regens quicker, Uses Evade instead of sprint. It really felt that I was using a race that supposed to be equal to Humanities best.

Halo 2 did it fine, why not 5.
