Perhaps our hard work has paid off, I like to think to myself maybe, just maybe. Our effort’s here may yet produce playable Elite’s in Halo 5.
However I believe the OP should update this thread, the first post is a tad outdated and should be reworked into a petition. Also Our scope has expanded to the Halo series’s in general.
Oh please, Halo 4 is still in development were the outcome of the campaign is completely unknown. It’s far too early to even discuss Halo 5 multiplayer…

Did you ever think this was created before they were saidto be taken out. Jeez.
Even if it has been stated they won’t be playable, it doesn’t change the fact that we still want playable elites. We are going to keep telling 343 this and hopefully they will listen to us. Playable elites are a big part of halo and it just won’t be the same to me without them.

Yes it does, but they also said there not playable in customs either. Im dissapointed I’ll admit, but Halo 5 can make it work. besides most people do want elites playable. I think this topic has earned a rest now ladies and gents.

They confirmed they wouldn’t be in custom? I haven’t heard of that: in every instance, they’ve specifically referred to matchmaking. Got a source?

Infinity Multiplayer = Customs, War Games…
David, Josh and Frankie confirmed it that Elites are not playable.
I really don’t see the point of leaving Elites out of customs and forge. Well I guess its just one less thing to worry about but if Halo 4 turns out to be a hit (which it will) then I hope they will reconsider Elites in Halo 5.

I dunno, I doubt they’d go so far as to add custom games to the “multiplayer narrative” they want to incorporate.
It doesn’t matter as much to me if we can play as them or not, and it’s definitely not top priority on my wanted features list, but still. It just strikes me as suspicious that they’d only ever refer to “competitive multiplayer” instead of just “multiplayer”.
Maybe there’s some spoilers or whatever. Shrug We’ll find out November 6th, no doubt. Can’t wait!

I posted this months ago. Before we even knew anything about the Halo 4 plot.

They won’t be for this game, but they will be for Halo 5 when the story of MP moves to another setting.

Because people really want/wanted this to happen. It’s a shame 343i didn’t comply, but I guess it’s a lesson learned. It could possibly be a DLC, depending on the framework of the game. Halo 3 was the only game in the Halo series I know of where the armor was actually apart of the maps, so DLC armor/elites wouldn’t work. It could be possible in Halo 4 to have DLC elite player models.

To my knowledge, Halo: Reach was exactly the same, it was all located on the .map files just like Halo 3, with Halo 4 using the same engine as Reach but heavily modified, I wouldn’t count on it, although, 343i were looking to do Armour DLC with Anniversary’s release for Halo: Reach, but it was cut, perhaps they found a solution.
