please read before telling me to post it in the mega thread for elites… you and I both know that thread is useless and you probably don’t even read it or show it that much attention.
No matter how you look at it, there is no denying Sangheili being playable to be more important than ever. This is basically 343i last chance with this franchise so it’s very important that everything people loved about the original games come back when it comes to customization especially and also art style. It’s been almost a decade for the FPS side of Halo since Elites have been removed and if they are not in Infinite it will be DEVASTATING for the Sangheili community of people but also Halo as a hole. It will definitely crush any hope of them coming back but on top of that if everything turns out perfectly or near perfectly with Infinite except adding playable Elites, well… it’s gonna feel like a double whammy, and it’s is going to hit people hard… I pray to god that doesn’t happen. From what I understand the customization in this game will be a lot like Halo Reach, and that’s perfect. My only concern is though, are they going to make elites so different that you won’t be able to play as them in matchmaking 90 percent of the time? Or are they going to make it more like halo 3 which actually allowed you to play as an elite aside from just in customs lol. On a serious note though, it really is going to be extremely heart breaking, if after almost a decade we still can’t play as these guys in Infinite and it will pretty much kill the Sangheili players in cold blood. Judging by what I have heard about Infinite there should be absolutely no reason and I mean NO REASON as to why Elites are not in the game. You had plenty of time and in terms of gameplay, it doesn’t appear like you are following those stupid trends for esports any more which is good. Remember 343i… Focus on the needs of the franchise rather than try to revolutionize it. Halo is unique like gears of war in a way. You think Gears games changed that much aside from judgement in these recent years? NO… don’t get me wrong, I like a new and refreshing experience but there is such a thing as bad change as we all know and something a just don’t need to change. Sometimes just doing stuff like adding different or unique sound effects and animations can make a game feel new without actually changing the core game into something people won’t like. Don’t over complicate things. Please take Playable Elites seriously. It’s not something that you should be blowing over because with the rise of people demanding their return on top of new players for pc and Xbox, it would be most unwise to make the same mistake a third time in a row. Three strikes and your out… and just so I don’t sound like “Only elites matter” I want to clarify I care about everything else Halo related but considering I think Halo infinite will be great my only biggest concern right now is elites in multiplayer and HOW they are implemented. I’m hoping like Halo 3 because it allowed elite gameplay quite a bit and had much flexibility and was also the best Halo ever made. I hope Halo infinite can surpass it.
