That’s just the thing, ever since the elites got taller, they been a lot more easier to kill for people and can’t even have any fun times in custom games because of their size. Halo 3 had the clear right idea of handling both species at least.

I don’t give two farts on Onyx how tall I am or how many times I die I just want to play as a sangheili. Halo 3’s ‘rights’ as a game perception need to be reimplmented in my opinion. I will agree with those who have stated that the elites should be taller. But if you’ve read the books, there’s really a standard when it comes to the height differences between spartans and sangheili. Spartans are far taller than normal humans.
Really, I like to compare the spartans and ‘Elites’ in the cut scenes on Halo Wars. But with the way Halo 4 seemed to change so many of the ‘looks’ as well as heights, I’m near 89% certain the idea of a ‘right’ way to fix things, will nex to never be implemented.
343 obviously has other plans other than to see that half of their fanbase is happy. “People like to play as the aliens? Meh, ignore them and maybe they’ll forget their preferences with all of these cool upgrades we gave to the spartans!” ← literally how I think they look at things anymore.
Elites in all Halo games were taller than Spartans. The majority of the time we fought them they were hunched. Halo Reach and 4s Elites have a more upright poster showing their actual height.

This thread is too big to not be noticed by 343i. They have to implement elites into the next Halo game (or later on for Halo 4 as DLC).

heres hoping for playable elites in halo 5 (raises up whiskey glass)
> > > I swear, am I the only Sangheili guy in this community that wants elites to be equal in height and strength like in halo 2, plus have the appearance of Halo Reach? Hell I want Sangheili to be put in EVERY playlist like in the Halo 2 and 3 days. Why does everyone else want elites to be restricted from certain games? It’s so stupid, even invasion gets stupidly boring over time…

> No, it is not a win/win situation, that’s more likely to segregate the players from wanting to play with and against each other in a play list that they want to battle in anyways. There should never be separations in gametypes to begin with if people want to play Halo for the sake of fighting in the same games or even having fun in it.
Segregate the community? How will that segregate the community? I’m not going to avoid a playlist due to my appearance, that sort of stuff doesn’t really matter to me. Its not as if player left invasion when they were elites, why should they care now?

Okay, seriously now, how has 343 not commented on this thread?

When they release info for the multiplayer they may mention Elites, why mention what their plans are now?
Maybe it is likely cause done of us have been impatient for some time on any elite info…
This thread has enough supporters to populate its own playlist.
I’m starting to wonder if we’ll just be ignored (for the most part) this time around as well. Now wouldn’t that be fun. Although it’s too early to call that of course.

Do you know the definition of “segregation”?
Here it is again, ripped straight from google:
The action or state of setting someone or something apart from other people or things or being set apart.
Preventing certain races from being able to join because it’s an “x” race only playlist (let it be either Elite or Spartan) is pretty much the exact definition of segregation. We do not want this. We would prefer it if space dinosaurs were allowed to face against spess mehreens once again. Ie: No segregation.
Making Sangheili larger targets have apparently made some people unhappy.No offence to them,but i do like that trait.Its realistic and is usually not a big issue unless you had limited cover.Just find lager objects to hide behind or use Active camouflage like me.Its jut fun for me to look down,literally on Spartans.If Sangheili player models will not debut for their reappearance,343i needs to give us a formal notification instead of brushing us aside leaving 3rd parties to have to tell us.Its unacceptable and frankly unprofessional.
On a brighter side,here’s to 1000 favourites.Cheers.

It is a big enough issue as is when I cannot fit Into the same areas as the Spartans can on custom games, and active camo cannot last as long either so your practically screwed either way when that much taller than the Spartans. Hell, what is so bad about the Elites back then when we were not restricted from what we wanted to play as and when we were equal? Is it mainly too good for people to be playing with human players, or self ignorance? I don’t know, but either way this advantage thing needs to be tossed out of the system. I don’t care how realistic you think it would be being taller, it just won’t work in multiplayer.

It may be fun for you, but others like it if they could play against Spartans as Elites in a balanced and competitive environment, ala Halo 3.
This is what this thread is about. Not making the Elites “better” than Spartans (taller, or whatever), but rather to have them back in multiplayer the way it was in Halo 2 and 3. Not how it was done in Halo Reach. Please understand that this is what all those thanks are for. There are 800+ gamers who would like to either play as Elites, play alongside Elites, or even shoot Elites that are on the other team.

that works. but we need to do something to make Elites be playable in all game types 100% of the time. like Spartans.
Easy, make the elites stand upright, make sure they can be shot behind the head and cover up any kind of spots on their bodies to make sure it registers as being shot. We don’t need to repeat the same halo 3 mistake with that weird neck spot thing.
