Make Elites. Elite!
Elites have become kinda a joke in recent halo titles both in gameplay and in cutscenes, especially in cutscenes.
Image a slender and stealthy elite creep towards you energy sword drawn. I wanna feel panic when I see an elite in gameplay or better still dread. An elite on my screen should indicate a challenging fight where I barely can survive.
I think making these enemies rarer and more challenging would be a good idea for infinite at least in the early stages of the game
I’m not sure the feeling of dread is achievable anymore in a mainline Halo title. However…if they make another ODST game and lent heavily on the horror/threat angle then yeah, Elites could be utterly terrifying!
32 vs 32 BTB.
Hmmm this more describes what I’d like from an elite in a horror game setting but in the regular games they’re pretty integral to Covenant encounters, I wouldn’t want them to be too hard or rare, you are a spartan.
Anyone else notice that master chief doesn’t have a cracked helmet in the trailer
I don’t think the Elites need to be more rare in combat situations. But I definitely want them to be slender and slim again, not brutish and bulky.

That’s because he has new armour, including a new helmet. His Gen II Mk VI helmet was obviously cracked by Locke, but the armour in Infinite is Gen III, seemingly Mk VI.
I think what you describe can be achieved. It’s how I felt as a kid when the Elite Zealot or Stealth Elites would show up in the original Halo. But, I wouldn’t want to feel this way for every Elite encounter.
Are we even fighting Elites in Infinite though?

Elites are only a joke in regards to cutscenes in halo 5s osiris cinematic and halo wars 1 where red team demolishes the honor guards running at them.Both cases were made to make the Spartans look cool,but instead they take away any credibility the elites have as warriors in the lore imo.
Agreed. As a Spartan the Elites should feel like regular soldiers. Only in an ODST title could they be truly terrifying.

Battlefield style without AI enemies. Warzone is boring for me.
Add new things that weren’t added in any halo game. My ideas:
- Flood Firefight - Playable brutes - A mode where everyone has to play as elites. - Add new modesThat’s all I can think.

Yh make the Elites stronger and add in the brutes again! Miss those! Would be good to get the H2 brutes and Elites back in the mix they seemed more challengeing and harder to kill!
