Elites were confirmed out of MULTIPLAYER!

Yeh you’ve already done that and 343 don’t care.
we still have months to go it is not set in stone

If you don’t have anything good to say about elites just leave
I really hope the Arbiter returns as well

I didn’t say anything bad about elites either though and even if I did I don’t see a valid reason why I would have to leave.
> > Don’t forget that the books are also portraying ONI as a bunch of morally questionable -Yoink!-s. Seriously the fact that they are actively trying to destabilize a PEACE agreement ticks me off. Sure they have good intentions, they are trying to protect humanity. However, that’s not the way.

> > It’s true, there is good and bad on every side. And the reason it seems like the books are portraying the Elites as overzealous fools is because it is only focusing on a small group of them. I am sure we will see (or at least I hope) more factions of the Elites in “The Thursday War”. Maybe focus on the Arbiter and his followers.

> Oh don’t worry I’m certainly not a fan of ONI’s work either, But there portrayal is inconsistent as well. Surely as an intelligence division they would knowing trying to place the Human hating SoAT in power over Thel’s peaceful faction is silly. It’s like when the U.S. supported Al Quada in Afganistan against the Soviet’s. That really bit them in the -Yoink!- later.

> My theroey is the Servant’s take power, and the Covenant Separatist’s under Telcam bring the Loyalist’s back into the fold including the Brute’s, Jackal’s and Drone’s. Explaining the confirmed presence of Jackal’s and Elite’s fighting Chief side by side. Maybe Thel has become the guerrilla once more or is dead? I’m not sure.
Hmm… that’s a pretty good theory. My guess regarding Thel is that assuming you are correct and the SoAT were able to win in “The Thursday War”, Thel has either gone into hiding or something to that nature. Hard to say given that the Elites and so on in Halo 4 might be an altogether different group. And I am pretty sure it was confirmed by BS Angel or Frankie that we would be seeing Thel again in Halo. Not necessarily Halo 4 though.
Also, what about Naomi’s father? Didn’t he start some sort of anti-humanity/inner colony thing? That could have a huge impact on the Human/Elite cease fire.
> Yeh you’ve already done that and 343 don’t care.
And since when do you voice for 343 then? We don’t really care then either if anyone els is trying to put us all down to the ground. We don’t care if elites are said to be out of multi-player or not. We don’t care if we even do get into trouble to support our cause for the Elite Species.But we will care enough to continue on with this campaign for the months ahead anyways. If it surely doesn’t work on Halo 4, then we sure as hell will continue onward towards the next games.

and still not a single reply from 343
Heh, then lets continue onwards anyways till we actually do get a response then. This thread still refuses to die down so easily…
I for one am glad that I don’t have to play as a Big happy Alien. Squid Lips<Spartans. That is all.
who is forcing you?
> I for one am glad that I don’t have to play as a Big happy Alien. Squid Lips<Spartans. That is all.
lolwat? If you found a halo game that forces you to play as elites in MM (other then invasion) please direct me to it
> I for one am glad that I don’t have to play as a Big happy Alien. Squid Lips<Spartans. That is all.
and thats the kind of prejudice we DON’T need lol
Invasion is exactly what I’m talking about. And Dino Blasters. Ugh. Just my personal preference. Not to mention I hate FRG wielding Elites in Reach with a passion.
I will always think of the Arbiter and the Chief as equals and that is why I hope Elites make a come back

So who is forcing you to play with them if you don’t like them?
