Sangheili (Elites) In New Trilogy Matchmaking (Part 1)

Guys something just hit me.In Destiny,Bungie’s latest developing game slated for release in 2014,allows players to do things like wave and dance with the press of buttons on the D-Pad,only if 343i engineered a gameplay mechanic similar to this.Sangheili would be able to battle cry like they do in Reach and rage when their shield drop.I understand that there is no practical aspect in this,but just think at how awesome this would be,especially for machinima.I’d like for them to be able to look up and roar with their mandibles moving wide apart.Halo player models were always stiff,they could either evade,crouch stand and run,but nothing like this.And Spartans would have their own variations of these actions.

Like Heretic, Councilor or Honor Guard.

Yeah since no one really uses D-pad anyway in Halo. I support this idea sounds very awesome.

In all their variants yes.

Except for weapons drops in Halo 4 but if they had to stay then the left d-pad could switch between the drops and the war cries.

Really hope they will take this in consideration.

> Really hope they will take this in consideration.

It’s a little hard to ignore this thread now

Their is no way they can’t take this into consideration. Elites should…

Oh yeah,a little attention to detail please 343i.In Halo 5,I want my Sangheili to retain their black eyes with that white shine from Reach.None of that yellowed eyed nonsense from Halo 4,and remove that bulge in their forehead,or at least make it less visible.I really think that 343i should look back at Reach as a model to improve their games aesthetically,especially for Sangheili.Maps like Haven are nice,but they’re too one dimensional in terms of colour.Just this cream white.In Reflections in Reach,we had contrast.Nice warm colored wood contrasted with those cold steel colors from the ivory and metal in the building.I also want them to add ambient life like Moa in the Halo 5 campaign and in their multiplayer maps as well like the fish in the koi ponds of Reflections.

Actually, I wouldn’t mind a little variation in the eye colors because in my opinion the yellow looks like a nice design to add in variety, but I would want the option to have black eye colors as well. (The small details count.)

Can you or if you can send me a link to the bulge? (Never notice it, sounds interesting.)

Reach was nice, but I think Halo 4 had better looking Sangheili. (For me it most likely because of graphics on how they look.)

Better looking Sangheili? Have you seen their faces or even their skin without the armor on? They look rather hideous compared to the last couple of Halo games from before.

Also, The Sangheili did had Yellow eyes from before like in Halo 3 also. Though variety in eye colors wouldn’t be so bad.

Its a opinion, relax.

Halo 4 Sangheili looked a lot better than Reach’s monsters, all things considered. I think Sangheili in Reach hold first place for being the most horrible. :stuck_out_tongue:

I think 4’s look more similar to 3’s than Reach’s, but they still look a little odd to me. Things like the redundant molars (how would they be used with Sangheili mouth structure?), the scales, and odd skull shape are details that should have really been left out in my opinion. In a perfect world, I imagine Sangheili as a mix of Halo 3 and Halo 4 designs.

Please don’t let this turn into an internet fight but in my opinion Halo 4’s elites don’t look anything like true Sangheili, they look inbred and sickly. I think Reach’s model looks better than Halo 3 because Halo 3’s elites were hunched. I think a Reach/3 model should be used.

Trust me this won’t if everyone respects each others opinion. Nice idea and or opinion BTW.

They do still look odd to me in Halo 4 as to why are they pale in color.

Not to mention the scales and the long finger nails.

I just want the ability to play as an Elite

> I just want the ability to play as an Elite

I want that ability to but I also want to be able to recognize the elites as elites and not hunched, shortened, or sickly shadows.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I dislike Halo 4’s Sangheili. They do look rather awful. I was more speaking of facial structure rather than anything else.

‘True Sangheili’ for me are still Halo 2’s. Puts on rose-tinted glasses :stuck_out_tongue:

> I just want the ability to play as an Elite

Don’t we all. :stuck_out_tongue:

To be honest, I don’t really care how they look or where I would be able to play any more. As long as I can play as my Sangheili, I will be contented. Appearance and balance are an afterthought for me. :slight_smile:

Off topic: I got the 150th favourite of this thread :stuck_out_tongue:
