A huge reason why I play invasion in Halo reach is because of elites lol. I love playing as them. Would definately support seeing them in halo 4.
If they bring back the Spec-Ops armor and elites in Halo 4, I would be a happy man. Seriously…how can we play Halo without the elites around?
Back when I was a mere child playing Halo 2, my elite was White and Green with the Clover emblem. Because, in my little naive mind I figured there would be something like Ireland in the vast deserts of Sanghelios. Looking back it makes me chuckle, but it’s kind of saddening to think my time playing as an elite could come to a close. I grew up playing as an Elite. I learned their culture as I delved deeper into the Halo Universe, and the more I learned about them the more attached I became. Others have started to do the same. Sangheili deserve a spot in this future trilogy, and I can only hope 343i starts it out right, so other generations can have the same experience I had.
I think it would be really cool if suddenly the elites appear with badassery generators at full capacity at some point when the chief is about to get fragged by some hoard of the new enemies. That would make an amazing way to reintroduce the Elites to the game as allies.
Please, 343, remember the Elite fans. We’ve been die hard fans of Halo from the very start. Not only do we love Elites, we love the universe that surrounds them. Sangheili belong in the Halo multiplayer, I hope you agree.
Sincerely,
A Loyal Halo Fan
Elite clans across the halo community are counting on you to reinstate elites into MM. As you can see, you have many elite supporters.
Do not forget us.
Give me the carbine!
Lot of us like playing as Elites. They were pretty fair in Halo 3 why not let them be just as fair in Halo 4.
> Give me the carbine!
Just like the old one but super graphicly updated. No Carbine in reach made me a sad Sangheili 
> If they bring back the Spec-Ops armor and elites in Halo 4, I would be a happy man. Seriously…how can we play Halo without the elites around?
I do want to see Spec Ops Sangheili return too. But even that is just a very small part of a vast community that I will miss if Elites are left out of Halo 4
Okay, now I don’t know how you lot are gonna react to this, but I would rather Elites NOT be in multi-player if they’re just going to end up as 7’4" exact hunched-backed equals of MC just for the sole purpose of multi-player like in Halo 2 & 3.
What drawn me to Halo: CE (among other things) was the fact that the Elites were such interesting characters of the story. They were these giant, built 8’6" lizards that were fast and stronger than you and not to be taken likely in hand-to-hand. The basically made the game a ton more interesting and and gave it variety having to fight enemy which wasn’t just a carbon copy of yourself.
So if there’s a way for this to be introduced into Halo 4 like Elite vs Elite only playlist of even Elite vs Spartans and for them to still retain their original qualities then I’m all for. But if it’s just Elite=Spartan then I’m not.
I didn’t expect this much praise by the community. Especially because of the state it’s currently in. It’s heart-warming to see that we are able to set disputes aside to come to a common drive for Sangheili in Halo 4.
If I could choose one armour to be in Halo 4 for the Sangheili characters it would be my profile pic but without the shark jaw 
that way the biggest group of the community could customise themselves via colour scheme to be wildly different.
Keep this in mind though. It’s a tough trade off. Either keep them separated but do the player models justice like in Reach or allow them to mix and possibly have them revert back to their hunchback appearance in H3 to keep player hit boxes fair. Because if they try to get the best of both worlds every Elite player will be at a huge disadvantage due to an enlarged hit box.

With the advances in the augmentations for the SPARTAN IVs, it is likely Sangheili and Spartans can be on equal playing fields, making them interchangeable in Matchmaking.
Let our cries be heard brother’s!
But no seriously. I like the direction Reach took with our Sangheli brethren and made them stand tall and proud. What I did not like is there confinement to Invasion and Elite Slayer.
I hear the Spartan’s are gonna have this fancy story about why there fighting over colors in MP.
Well how about we Sangheli have a fancy story for why were kicking Spartan IV -Yoink- across space so we too can participate in the battle for new horizons!.
With this sacrament we shall journey into the divine beyond!
You have the full support of the Sangheili Community.
I am with all elites on this. I may play as a spartan 80% of the time due to custumization but i loved elites in halo 3. They had a comical like since to them. Being hunched over being funny when crouched or meleed with a plasma pistol. in reach they looked so amazeing and truly superior to spartans but were lacking in custumization.
I would love to see a great deal of custumization on elites in halo 4 that would rival the spartans level of custumization.
I want elites back as a full time playable character in halo 4 with tons of custumization.
I am sure that they are still in.
Also, I liked how the customization for them was in Reach, mixing and matching on Elites looks dumb.
I prefer my trust Spartan player model over an Elite (unless it’s the one from Headhunters, those elites are bad -Yoink-, then again, so are red energy swords). But Elites are a key component to Halo, IMO. I’d love to fight by/against a fellow/enemy Sangheili again in regular MM.
