Yeah things aren’t looking out our way
I doubt it’ll happen now since seems like Halo 4 is Spartan orionated again since looks too much like the horrible Halo 4. I miss classic Halo feelings.
Well the full game might have elites ,especially since Arbiter and his elites are involved.

I do too. They give us a beautiful remastered halo 2 then they butcher halo 5

I’m still holding out hope. I mean, why be so quiet about this if they aren’t in? If there’s a feature that won’t show up, why not give us a definitive answer?
> I know there has been a lot of discussion on this subject but I have seen a few key factors that signal the possible return of playable elites in multiplayer when the full game comes out (Cause its obvious that they won’t be in the Beta… maybe):
>
> -New Elite designs in H2A
> -Arbiter’s presence and the addition of the Sword’s of Sanghelios group
> -343 seems to be following a similar path to Bungie in which Halo 1 and Halo 4 are spartan only, Halo 2 first introduced the elites and they were a carefully guarded secret and it makes senses that in Halo 5 they make a comeback.
> -It was mentioned that there would be more than one playable character in Campaign, so far Chief and Locke have been announced but Arbiter could be a co-op character just like Halo 3.
> -Matchmaking might most likely be Spartan only like Halo Reach but could include Elite only game types.
> -Elites can pretty much have the same abilities as spartans with just slight changes in animation.
> -Covenant weapons haven’t been fully revealed with exceptions of the energy sword and Prophet’s Bane
> -Prophet’s Bane was the very sword Arbiter used to kill Truth in Halo 3
> -The cinematic in H2A had revealed that the setting is most likely Sanghelios
> -343 had answered a lot of long time wishes with MCC and Ive seen a lot of people ask for elites again.
Elite master race. If 343 leaves out elites at this point, they are just ignoring us.
Hopefully they’ll stop trying so hard to push those dull Spartan IVs.
Hopefully.

Hopefully
For the moment, right now, I have two guesses:
First:
• During the 3rd and final week of the Halo 5 Beta, they’ll unveil and introduce the Elites back.
Second:
• They’ll stay tight-lipped about the subject, keeping it under wraps, until the big reveal during 2015’s E3. That, or 2015 Q3.
I don’t think 343’s come out and said that they weren’t in the final product.
Either way, I believe Guardians will have playable Elites; I’m staying faithful.

If they are in, i’m guessing they will go with the second choice.
I hope Elites are playable in Halo 5; Invasion was a cool gametype.
If the Elites are back the announcement will just squeak on out via social media as a side note to one or more bigger announcements about H5G.
The fact that armor abilities will not be included in Halo 5 Guardians truly disgusted and infuriated me.Hope no more stupid decisions like that one are made,concerning our desire for the return of playable Elites in MM.

Never thought id see the day someone here would say that.
I honestly didnt care for armor abilities being treated as modular attachments to the elites. Aside from that not being how the armor working it took away from them being more advanced than the unsc.
Im riding the fence as to how they should return. They should either be h3 style and all even. From what ive seen from the beta that wouldnt be a bad idea given the pace. That head shot problem shouldnt be as prominant. Or we can go Reach -ish? And have them be diffrent.
Outside of thruster and the hover they should have the same abilities. Although i do see how they could have those two. The problem is finding what is a proper trade off to make the experience diffrent and fair.
The whole infinity simulation thing doesnt excuse them from not having joint unsc-sos operations as part of their training. No canon breaking here.
Keep in mind that Elites weren’t playable in the Halo 3 beta either. So just because their are not in this one doesn’t they wont be playable in the final product.
I am curious as to why they would add a Sangheili based Spartan armor if they were planning on having Sangheili. It is likely that the Helioskrill armor was made because they do not plan on bringing the sangheili into halo 5. If they were bringing sangheili into halo 5 then there would be no need for the Helioskrill armor. It wouldn’t make much sense to have both.

The thing is while that may be true, it’s a terrible bargaining chip and 343 would be stupid to think it would work. Also my reasoning for still hoping is, why the hush-hush over whether or not Elites are playable if they’re not playable? That’s like me keeping the pizza I have secret even though I don’t have pizza in reality.
One bump a day keeps the spartans at bay.
Well since some of you put it that way I guess its not over yet.
