sadly, 343 decided to make elites enemies again.

If that is how you feel about it…

Why sacrifice communities like the Elite community and the machinima community for what could possibly be the most boring way to make matchmaking canonical? It doesn’t make sense, and that is something that surely can be changed before November 6th.
They excluded them from MM. They have said nothing on forge or custom game variations. Either way, don’t count your eggs before they hatch.

Believe me I am hoping that Halo 4 isn’t the death sentence for Elites.

The best thing we can pretty much do is just pray that they arent out…
One hope I have for the Elites is that they are Halo 2 elites. In Halo CE, all they said was arrrg and wort wort wort. Halo 2, they had funny things too say. Then every Halo after that they either didn’t speak English or were allies or weren’t even in it. I’m hoping for my comical Elites again

hmmm…overall, i would still have to choose thel. Ripa was obviously a hulk, but he was quick to anger and not known for leadership. Thel was pretty cunning. And in the cole protocal, Thel. Was. A bad–Yoink-. I would also suggest that thel is faster, but overall, that cant be proven. Outside of gameplay, ive never seen ripa run, but i assume that a ripa vs thel fight would be similar to thel vs Tarter sauce, err… tartarus.

I think I remember one of the comical quotes that one of the elites said back in Halo 2 was “Humans, dont be afraid! I have a banana!” Hehe…good times.

One told me after he killed me that “I hurt my gurdy”. Good times indeed.

They are confirmed to be out of matchmaking but not all of matchmaking? huh? And yes i understand they could still be used in customs and such.

Halo 3 had two types of matchmaking, ranked and socail. Reach had community and competitve (not sure why Living dead was in competitive)
So, considering if it went with halo 3’s, we could have them in the social side to keep the ranked players from complaining. Or, if they went with reachs, they could be in action sack, and other types like it.

Because most Spartan players are cry babies and whined when they saw someone with a long neck and a head that was slightly lower even though it did not effect gameplay AT ALL!!!

I hate to pull the CoD card, but back during some cod event last year, mw3 was confirmed to have taken out last stand. And BF3 took out the defibyllator for medics. But the following uproars caused both features to return.

Yeah. Cant blame them for liking RVB, they’re really epic. But there are others that will be left in the dust. Rise Of the Spartans, Arby N cheif, and many others.
I still stand by my original comments:
-
This is a center stage for Spartan IV’s game.
-
Elites being excluded from the franchise is unlikely, the technology alone is needed for whatever it is we’re going to combat.
-
Elites have been part of a higher experience for players since H2. The only possible way for them to be excluded completely = replaced with forerunners.

I know. Because I loved discriminating against them in the RPG I host.

Spartans have always been th center stage since Halo:Ce. the Elites have always never had any issue with this kind of stuff till Reach.
-
Well duh I mean…why would they not be around this time anyways?
3.And what is the highly possibilities of the UNSC to be able to simulate a Forerunner that they dont even know what they look like? That still woudnt make any sense.

WE GET IT! YOU AGREE WITH ME! NO NEED FOR THREE POSTS ALL SAYING THE SAME THING YOU POST BOOSTER!
he he he…
I don’t mind that it’s the Spartan IV’s time to shine. But for those of us who don’t want to associate with them or the UNSC. We have no option’s anymore. I don’t speak for everyone but I dont want another game of Black and White morality.
In other word’s Human’s are righteous and good, all non-Human’s are not and must be destroyed.
I fear this is what 343 is doing to Halo. Removing them from MM is the tip of the iceberg, By Halo 6 I fear 343 will have us visiting Sanghelios with Installation 03 behind.
-Yoink!- hate it when my computer lags me sometimes…=_=;;;;
But stille none the less I woudnt want to give up on that Spec of hope just yet though…
