I’ve been an elite since halo 3. I’ve always played as one. I’m OK with no firefight because Spartan ops will probably replace that. But halo multiplayer needs elites, even if they aren’t as customizable as Spartans they just need to return.

Calm down calm down, They wanted to focus on the spartan IV’s, and the elites would get in the way of that.
They don’t fit in the new story that is Infinity. You’re Spartan 4s in training on the UNSC Infinity, so it doesn’t make since to have Elites on that ship.
Wheres the maybe option?
It does bum me out, but it is 343’s vision so that is a choice that they feel is for the best.

Yes, you’re right, the reason there are no elites is because they don’t fit in with the Multiplayer story that nobody wanted, or asked for.
Yes love those dinos

As of halo 2, elites are part of the UNSC.

No, they were only cooperating with them to defeat a larger threat. With the end of 3, is there a truce between humanity and the covenant? Yes but there is no inter-species army that will continue to fight together.
Im glad!
Halo 3 - horrible head shot recognition on elites
Halo Reach - Elite slayer pissed me off (all it was was plasma grenades left and right)
Halo 4 - no elites, problem solved
I’m glad nobody has hit the “elites suck” vote.
I will miss seeing the elites online… Wort wort wort

It’s what 343i wanted to do to evolve the game. I think it’s awesome considering how it ties into the campaign. If you don’t think it’s a good idea, find another scifi shooter with a playable alien race. The rest of us who are interested with what 343i is doing will be having fun throwing down on Infinity.
But you know you’ll buy it anyways, you wouldn’t be on these forums if you weren’t planning to.
To the people who say it doesnt fit with the canon:
So what your saying is that, with all the data the UNSC probably have on the elites considering the Alliance they had, they didnt get enough to make intelligent copies or enough data to make hologram AI for the spartans to practice on?
They would have seing as the elites were their fiercest ally and enemy. So why not learn how to fight with, and against them? It would fit in quite easily really. ONI would have likely done behavioural scans and body scans to see how they work and move in battle. They would have likely put that into some wort of training program for use.

This means they had info on the scarabs for marines to practice with, including simulations.

Not really, it was more of a truce. And in the first mission of halo 4… you get attacked by elites so…
Been forced to play as Spartan makes me feel like the MP is more competitive and mature for some reasons,maybe it’s just because most of the “Elite” players were BKs in SWAT,noobs,10 years olds and guests.

Well… It’s still a few months away. There is still time to “polish” the game and put elites back in. If not, I would still buy it. But I would be slightly disappointed.
I wanted to do a running big boot on a Spartan.Their feet armor got huge lmfao.I bet they can stop a warthog with them things.

Elites are more important than a “multiplayer story.” Since when has multiplayer needed a story?
They could have modified the story so some elites were involved.
