in H5 there should be Elite custom armor. Just like you would do to your spartan. And you can even rank up with your elite. And i have an Idea for the final Elite rank. It’s called “Arbiter”. You can have Arbiter’s armor :). That would be cool. And change the color of your Arbiter armor:). It would just look beautiful if the armor came in any color and you picked Purple or Gold :). That armor would look nice.

Actually a lot of spartans support us=) You will find some spartan players on this forum saying they miss playing against us so yes there are good spartans out there so we can’t blame them for this fiasco.
I will love Halo again if they bring back elites in multiplayers like in halo 3.
-In all playlists
-Allow to customize the armor like spartans
If elites will be not here in a downloadable content for halo 4,
BRING THEM BACK TO HALO 5 AND 6!!!
It’s my first reason why i don’t play much halo 4. Halo miss something without elites as a playable character…
Sorry if I make mistakes I don’t speak english…
An interesting idea I conceptualised in my head actually,an Elite only game type where one of the players is a B.O.B,with stronger shields and being automatically equipped with a Fuel Rod Gun/Cannon.Players will fight it out FFA* to be the B.O.B.Killing the B.O.B will garner more points than an average kill.The B.O.B is determined by whom has the most number of kills.It is very similar to the game type ‘Regicide’ but the ‘King’,in this case the B.O.B,will be automatically equipped with a power weapon hence making he/she easier to kill.
*Free for All
What would satisfy me most is having Sangheili Councillor armour sold with the future limited/legendary edition.Being the highest ranking of Sangheili,it would just feels so empowering to wear it,an extension of oneself.Honour Guardsmen and Honour Guardsmen Ultra would be a welcome addition to Sangheili armour permutations.If 343i could include these,I’m sure the public would be really happy.
For my post on new game type;Word correction:Easy*,I mean difficult.
Sry,using an apple computer hard to copy & paste.

They would be nice additions. Maybe add imperial admiral and supreme commander too. Perhaps they could add variations of an armor so like minor armor from Halo 3, Reach, or Halo 4.

the same reason or me, there isn’t enough variety in character models for it to work, and Promethean Knights and or forunners will not suffice.

I believe Most Spartan players want the Elites Back.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, like if you choose the storm doctrine the armour you get access to looks like that of the halo 4 sangheili, where as the armour available in another doctrine, say a stealth doctrine called ‘silent blade’ will be more more stealthy looking.
Another thing they could do is give armour different characteristics based on their doctrine, so if its a stealth doctrine they could do something like the SPI armour, but instead of them being completely invisible they would be visible when moving and relatively visible when standing still- basicly a passive stealth that is best used when fighting in long range fights. Where as Storm armour will make them move faster and hit harder while having less health, and so on and so forth.

the Idea that the armor is just there to make your character look cool, is enough. besides I don’t think we need to have the majority of a population having the same armor because evan I would like to see some Unique armor among elites.
and Spartans.
so yeah don['t have armor affect gameplay at all, but that’s just me.
though if I misunderstood what you meant, feel free to correct me

Each doctrine could get armor and an “armor mod”, so the armor itself wouldn’t do anything but the mod that came with it could be placed with any armor. If the mods were too unbalancing then they could be added for minimal effect and more for nice aesthetics like the armor effects from reach.
For variety in armor I honestly think there can be much more variety if 343 implemented the armor bench thing I talked about earlier. Basic pieces could be placed together to form unique shoulders, helmets, etc.
What do you want to see from Elites in multiplayer. I personally want them to be scaled down to Spartans in terms of power while they retain their height which doesn’t affect gameplay as far as I can see.
Maybe the Elites can be weaker shield wise but faster speed wise. Though that might be a bit too complicated to balance.
Strength and speed should be about equal, as it should be anyways, while obviously height is diff.
@Woltey X:
343i has actually given us much more Armour perms than Reach,so there’s variety in it if you ask me.However,Reach had more sophisticated Armour in terms of design complexity.
Question:I believe kill boxes of Sangheili in Reach were larger than Spartans,if this is true,then I think it is quite balanced given the fact that Sangheili could automatically regen health in Reach without the use of health packs no matter howmlowmhealth was,something Spartans could not accomplish.
*how low
> @Woltey X:

Agreed. Though the armor bench would further the variety for people who just can’t find that armor piece that they want.
> Question:I believe kill boxes of Sangheili in Reach were larger than Spartans,if this is true,then I think it is quite balanced given the fact that Sangheili could automatically regen health in Reach without the use of health packs no matter howmlowmhealth was,something Spartans could not accomplish.
Sangheili were bigger than Spartans so I believe that they did have a bigger hit box. If the hit box is unbalancing maybe a tiny boost to something like shields or speed might balance it since health bars are no longer in Halo (unless their just invisible in Halo 4).
If health bars will not be featured in future Halo games,I think some minor buffs like you have mentioned will make it fair.Silhouettes for Sangheili are rather large and using active camouflage may not be as effective on a Sangheili as a Spartan.Perhaps some future armour abilities with Sangheili in mind.Additionally,I hope Sangheilis will be playable in slayer fighting alongside Spartans,giving us full player model freedom.
So Halo 5 has been announced, do not fail us again 343! At this point you could be the only reason I would consider an Xbox One and even then I highly doubt it!

Tecqhniqly the Elites had weaker shields but they where stronger and faster than Spartans that was balance out.
