I was just wondering what everybody thought about. Being able to play as Elites again in Halo 5 I personally miss having the choice.
I think 343 learned from their mistakes in Halo 4, including the lack of elites. A lot of people complained. And since the MCC is having them, I’m sure we can expect them to return in Halo 5: Guardians. Afterall, Arbiter is back!
Considering there is a thread here with nearly a thousand pages, perhaps it is in high demand. But it’s not needed in the grand scheme. I really, really hope 343i brings them back.
343 seems to be continuing the trend that you play as your MP spartan and that you’re in a combat simultor when playing competitive. That’s fine, but I’m guessing there is a way around that arrangement. Like lore wise the spartans can go into the simulator as an elite? Or possibly they could just have elite models in there anyway, for no canon reason.
As much as I want to see the Elites return to Halo’s multiplayer, it seems as if Halo 5: Guardians will continue the Infinity simulation expereince from Halo 4 as seen in the Beta trailer. Story-wise, it would be strange to include Elites in this simulation. Maybe they could add them as bots for the Spartan IVs to truly realize how an Elite fights.

This. As far as logic goes, this would be the best way to do it. If Invasion returns, we would essentially have Elites back by default.
Elites should come back as a playable character in multiplayer I agree
Elites are FANTASTIC and if you put Arbiter in Halo 5 you have no reason to not have Elites in the multiplayer. Nothing wrong with have adding more physics, assassinations, and sounds by having another species to play as.
Just so you know OP, there’s a 900 page thread on the topic already in the Halo 5 guardians section. Should probably keep elite discussion there.
I can’t wait for November 11th
I missed it A LOT in halo 4!! We need elites!!

OR, the Campaign has some of the Arbiter’s Elites working alongside the Infinity, so 343I has an excuse to send some over to the War Games simulator.

Take it as you will.
Elite have always been my favorite species in halo and I think if the arbiter has so much to do w halo 5 elites have to be back and playable
There is already a thread about this topic with over 9000 comment just one slot above your post at this time. I’m sure you can find plenty of thoughts there.
I’d also like to see this happen as well as joint ops with Elites as Agent Locke searches with the Arbiter for Master Chief.
I’m sure we can expect to see Elites playable again.

All hail to the arbiter!
I enjoyed having the choice. Added some variety to your character you played as.
Not trolling, but why would anyone want to play as an Elite? You are a larger target.
I can understand for some custom games and machinimas, but not for matchmaking.
