It is pretty hard to ignore the biggest active thread on Waypoint…
Wow… every other thread on this forum just got assassinated by ONI.
Let’s keep this thread alive guys. Also, do not speak a word of leaked content in here.
Whoa whoa whoa, WHOA, WHOOOOAA what about ONI assassinating peeps again?
If elites aren’t fully playable in every game mode I mostly wont get this game, I never liked being a spartan, and I really don’t care for the H4 spartan armor. If 343i adds full customization to elites like Halo reach’s spartans, attachments or camo/patterns I’ll be happy.,
They won’t forget the elites. They didn’t in the MCC so they won’t in Halo 5
Just watched the new H5 trailer and I must say I’m intrigued by these new spartan abilities and the changes they bring to combat.
But the lack of Sangheili anywhere has me worried. I feel like they are going to leave them out of multiplayer again.

Elites weren’t in Halo 3’s beta either. We know there’s going to be seven Spartan armour variants in the Halo 5 beta, and there was a small amount in Halo 3’s beta as well. If Elites are in we won’t find out until later.
At the very least it seems that the reveal basically guarantees that Elites will not be an option in the Arena portion. Some Invasion style asymmetrical gamemodes don’t seem out of the question though.
I would imagine sprint, climbing, and smart scope being mostly the same. Thrust replaced with evade, charge replaced with a Reach style kick. Mid-air thrust and ground pound seem a little trickier to find a comparable ability unless Elites get some upgrades as well.
hope they still have them, after they introduced spartan abilities
I’ve noticed elites seem a lot more hunched in some of the recent things I’ve seen. That may be a sign that they could return as playable.

Hope so.
I hope Elites will be playable in Halo 5. If they are though, which kind of Elite do you think they’ll use? (Halo 4 version, Halo 3 version, etc.).
The Helioskrull armor was “designed by a Sangheli Prodigy” which means that we may have Elites who wear a variant of MJOLNIR armor. Maybe.
H2A has done playable Elites right. The player models are much larger than Spartans, and the animations are beautiful. It’s unbalanced but canon and fun. I don’t mind being a bigger target, in fact it’s awesome. So happy to be playing as an Elite again in Halo, without any restrictions at all! I hope they’re brought into Halo 5: Gaurdians and retain this style.
I watched the behind the scenes of Halo 5 Multiplayer beta and I saw- “Realizing the Spartans”- sigh I am so tired of this.
Oh well, heres hoping for Elites in Halo 5, i’m doubtful considering how much they bastardized them Halo 4, I fear 343 will follow the Treyarch Call of Duty method of game, that being “Merica, -Yoink- yeah” though make it “Spartans, -Yoink- yeah”, stop pretending the Elite community doesn’t exist 343 we do give a crap about Spartans!
In my off time I play Warhammer 40k and trust me, I’ve seen enough unimaginative Space Marines to last ten life times- the last thing I need is to have a Alien race which I fell in love with their lore and aesthetic to just be chucked on the roadside after being given them on Halo 2, Halo 3 and Reach, sure Reach’s Elites where limited but they had a WHOLE game mode dedicated to Spartans vs Elites, I was supremely disappointed with Halo 4 making them the bad guys again because of who knows what, Brutes could have still been in that game and their savage charges would have counter balanced the Promethean high tech shooting.
I think a lot of people will agree with me that I won’t even bother getting Halo 5 unless the Elites make a triumphant return, they added another level of multiplayer customization and no amount of different visor colours will replace them. if they are not in i’ll just watch the single player missions on Youtube and save my money for other things.
So I may be wrong. But 343 made elite armor for Spartans. I really hope this isn’t their attempt of negotiating with us in place of adding elites. If so I’m really disappointed. So far from what I’ve seen in videos and trailers and reveals, there’s no elites. I’m not buying this game unless they add them. I honestly don’t like being a spartan in multiplayer.
IF its them trying to convince us to play H5:G and totally turn a blind eye toward this then they are gravely mistaken. I was hoping that Broken Circle was some sort of realization toward a change but I feel that this is not the case. I will probably wait until H5 is released before buying, and if I find out that you cannot play as a Sangheili in MM or even Custom games then screw it…MLG can have their “fun” and I will find my own.
