> I…I really hope we get female Sangheili…
Would make sense. Female Sangheili are just as well trained as males. Males take a military role though…also the swordsman area is exclusive to males. Incase of invasion, females are the home defenders. H3 did have female Sangheili sounds too.
Halo 2 anniversary MP Elites is a must.
The question is:
Will they use Halo 4 Elite models or they completely remastered the Halo 2 engine so we’ll have Halo 2 Elite models instead?
Note that the Halo 4 model is hunched as well, It would be a crime to have the Elites standing Upright in the Halo 2 Mp.

They should be using the Halo 2 models. Anything else and it wouldn’t really be a remastered Halo 2.
You know, if after all this we still don’t get to play as Sangheili in Halo 5 I think I might actually cry.
Hope to god or whatever that 343 does not use the Halo 4 models for Halo 2 Anniversary. Those designs are by far the most hideous out the entire Halo series.
I think 343 should bring them back with iconic assassinations the ones that are shown in campaign videos.

Same here. Imagine Thel 'Vadam with halo 4 graphics. ugh.

Am I missing something big here cause I really don’t agree with your opinion at all.
I’m pretty sure that Models and Character designs are completely sepearate different things guys. Halo 4 had great models but an awful lot for bad designs, which is rather disappointing as they are completely capable of doing good ones.
I mean look at this .Yes it does not look like a Zealot and more like a Spec-ops would wear but that armor looks incredible. If 343i took the time in and actually design him based on what he is and what his culture is. We could have the Arbiter that we’ve all been waiting for.
And interestingly they had a proper zealot design but just decided to cut it.

The armor is okay, but the pale-reptilian skin is kind of not good. I prefer the pervious leathery-skinned look of previous games.
Maybe it’s a bit late to hop on this train but I’ll try anyways 
I like they idea of returning Elites, in order to make things fair it needs to deviate from the books though and make them the same height. That’s kind of what they went for in Reach, you couldn’t play as both in every game mode because they were different heights, speeds, and could jump higher. To me that would be something to hesitate about as you add something to the game, especially when the books are such a strong part of the story now. In the end I think everyone would pick having Elites as a standard playable character rather than follow the books.
If they do decide to follow the books there could be a chance to redeem Reach’s awful take on it. First off there needs to be more than one game mode to play, and they need to be good game modes. My first thought when I came to this forum was make a game mode that entails Elites being trained how to work with Spartans to take down “rebel” Spartans and Elites or vice versa. This would be a slayer way of adding Elites in. Maybe make Regicide a group of Spartans or Elites protecting the other race’s “leader or king”, once again this follows something that might have some story behind it. To add just one last thing, maybe make a CTF version that has you taking “data” from the enemy’s base or we could go even crazier and hope they bring back an Assault take on this. I could go on and on with how to include Reach’s view but no matter how long the list is it will compare nothing to a generic pick your own race with no differences between the two.
Sorry this is probably something that has been said a few hundred times already but I just had to get it out of my head

I pray to Odin that he won’t look anything like that if he ever appears in the games again.

You and me both. I don’t mind the addition of the cloak but the rest is awful. And I don’t understand Halo 4 elites inability to armor their forearms.

I don’t understand why Thel 'Vadam needs to look like one of the Storm now. We remember what he looks like: he was brown and leathery and he had bronze, epic-looking armor. Thel 'Vadam is the very symbol of alien nobility. The new breed reeks of desperation and fanaticism; not at all befitting of the dignified Sangheili we’re used to seeing. If they ever remake Halo 2, I sincerely hope they don’t model the Elites after Halo 4’s. No need to fix what isn’t broken.

Because 343 believes they’ve taken a good artistic direction and they want to leave their mark on the games. Which I strongly disagree with.
I actually really enjoy the new look, but I feel we need to see some REALLY good armor…skin is fine now and then BUT not every set.

And I agree with you. The Elites don’t look right at all, the Chief 's new armor looks too much like GEN2 (never should’ve been changed to begin with), half the S-IV armor looks like it belongs in some Sony-made Halo knockoff, and have you seen the Marines? I’m reminded of kids whose overprotective vegan parents cover them in a dozen layers of padding so they don’t break their backs playing on a swing or something, and they’re all waddling around and crying because they can’t have any fun in kiddy kevlar.
That might’ve gone too far, but one thing 343 did get right was architecture. In that department, -blam!- was beautiful.
There seems to be many different opinions on the new art direction in Halo 4. The marines did look way too padded, but i didn’t mind much else. As for the H4 Elites, there are things I like and dislike. I like the idea of scaley skin, but I have to admit the leathery skin does look better. I think a combination of the H3 and H4 heads would look good. Thier posture should deffinetly be like reach, tall and proud. I think the storm covenant should keep their H4 armor while the arbiters elites should have armor like in H3/reach.
And for the love of god 343, do not make Thel look like he did in escalation. Update the armor, but keep the original look.
Storm armour should belong to the storm, separatist armour belongs to our favourite kind of elites.
That is all I hope for any True Covenant Elites.

This, basically.

Well,to be honest,I didn’t like Thel 'Vadam and the separatists,I much prefer the original and pure Covenant of Reach and Halos Combat Evolved and 2.I really do want them to make a comeback in the game,at least in terms of aesthetic influences on armor designs.I believe some
The Storm Covenant should be completely redesigned,I utterly despised their armor configurations,with the lack of arm guards and bare arms,it looked much too minimalistic.I want that entire design scrapped.Sangheili are all about prestige,and their armor should embody that,looking ornate and decorative.
