> I have a poll on defending Elite equivalence. Just search for ‘Halo 4 Multiplayer - Elites’ and you should find it. I don’t normally advertise threads, but I think we should gather all help we can get and make our voiced heard. 343 should work to bring joy to all Halo fans, not just the majority.

> I’m a SPARTAN fan. Always have been, always will be. It’s quite typical, really. But my experience in Halo games with Elites is remarkable. It gave that ‘Halo’ feel. It wasn’t just humans fighting humans. Isn’t that what Halo’s about? Discovering new races, worlds, and other mysteries? I’ve gone back to playing Halo 3 more than Halo: Reach. It brings back memories. And I’ve recently discovered that I completely rock at Halo. Just not at Reach.

> For 343i to forget about the Sangheili-loving community that Bungie had brought to Halo, and a success it was, would be to fail a community, not a “few unhappy fans”. I used be pro-SPARTAN, shoving SPARTAN successes in my Elite-loving friends’ faces. Now, I miss them so. I’ve only one thing left to say… wort wort -Yoink!-ing wort.
Remind me why we dont see very generous spartans like you around much? Very much appretiative of your words.
I reckon Elite customization would be extremely cool. Swag about in an Ultra helmet with the largest pads money can buy No, but really, 343i, do that. Make Elites’ armour customizable. Please.
Please 343i, here the outcry that is to include Sangheili to fight alongside Spartan allies or against them in matchmaking and respond to the community, exchanging character models would not be out of the question for Halo 4 multiplayer no matter how late you are into developing Halo 4, but whatever you do, allow players to choose to be either Spartans or Elites in multiplayer matchmaking regardless of what playlist it is.
Its funny. Im gone for like, nine hours and there is already another page. it amazes me how much suppor we are getting, even from my felow spartans. I have to say, most spartans hate the elites for what they are, but i can definitely say that halo wont be halo without the sangheili (Or at least another race) in multiplayer. Because like someone posted before me, Halo is not just about humans, its about the survival of the humans against other alien cultures and with alein cultures. Let us hope that 343 doesnt forget the species that got halo where it is today.
Because without the elites, there would have been no halo 1. There would have been no terrifying undefeatable enemy to outwit and destroy. And while i realise we have a new enemy, to leave the games off without knowing what exactly happened to the elites would be bad for business and would make no canonical sence.
Plus i want to see how 343i redesigns the charachter model. With the graphics they have, its my geuss the elites would actually be terrifying, and evil looking. It would make them all the more fun to kill and would add some sense to the game.

It would be very saddening if there was no Elites in Halo 4 multiplayer. I liked playing as an Elite in Halo 3, it made you feel so badass. Without them, it just doesn’t feel the same. And being able to customize their armour like you can with the Spartans in Reach would be absolutely awesome!
Is it correct that we were told that the Covenant will be in Halo 4, but we weren’t told if they were in the multiplayer? I’m not going to bother reading through 33 pages lol, I don’t have THAT much time on my hands.
I remember them saying that they are doing a sort-of-story-like-thing for the multiplayer to explain why the Reds are fighting the Blues. How will they fit the Elites into this aside from Invasion(assuming it returns).

Nothing about covenant in multiplayer has been confirmed yet unfortunatley. However, fitting the elites into the story could be easily done. Traning partners, target practice (lol), a way to learn the strategy of the elites. A way to train spartans on easy way to kill eelites should the need arise…

The covenant will be in HALO 4, but there has been nothing about what part. (could only be grunts…) And I havn’t seen anything about covenant in MM.

I don’t see it as being explicitly about Humanity having to survive against other alien cultures. The Covenant is just a concept, like the aliens in Independence Day. Underneath all the flamboyance and fluff, they just represent a challenge that Humanity has to overcome in its never-ending quest for survival. It is about how Human ingenuity can solve almost anything when Humanity has its back up against the wall, and how in the face of such challenges people can come together to defeat them. I don’t think it is making a statement about how Humanity cannot co-exist with others and must strike to survive against other races. I think it made the opposite assertion with Halo 3.
I am in need of members for my elite clan, The Commander Elites. We are planning on moving into Halo 4, if all goes well with elites back in MM. If not, we will stay on halo 3 until the servers are shut down.
I hope this thread gets mentioned in the weekly today, I would really hate that sangheili be not included in h4 and that they wait until the release week to tell us.
But of course I hope we can be sangheili whenever we want in h4
No, but really, 343i, do that. Make Elites’ armour customizable. Please.
