Balance issues were almost negated in Reach, the Sangheili would have increased height, increased speed, jump height, but the Spartans would have increased shield strength, health, etc. This is not a reason for their disappearance.

But not being able to show myself as my elite when playing in custom games and forge is quite upsetting. I have done so since Halo 2. <mark>Most of your reasons can be simply boiled down to a lack of trying</mark>, or that 343 simply does not care enough about the Sangheili Community, which I can’t, or won’t, believe is true.
okay here’s my answer to what is highlighted
1: those are in cause it’s what all the halo fan base wants, evan the Elite fans.
2: that could be one other reason why some people don’t kill elites in the swat game.
> Ive actually gained quite a hatred towards the UNSC please bring back our brothers!
Im okay with people hating spartans or elites, I just don’t like it when people pick on others for playing as spartans or elites.
