I also just remembered that in H2:A, only Spartans got special flood things on their heads and the elites didn’t.

I honestly don’t think they would put in elites for only custom games. It seems like a lot of work for a feature in the game that isn’t played near as much as matchmaking. Plus only being able to play as an elite in a custom game would kind of suck since I spend most of my time playing multiplayer matchmaking. I also don’t think machinima needs them. We have elites in H2A as well as the last gen halo games, so if you really want an elite in your video, just go back to that game. Just letting us play as elites would almost be an insult, saying OK fine heres your aliens, but don’t bother the hardcore players with them.
Just make the elites playable for Halo 5 I know its easier said then done but come on.
Okay, seriously people, we don’t care if we have bigger hit boxes, we don’t care if we can get sniped from behind, we seriously do not care.
We just want to be an elite again.

Lol this so much. We don’t care if the elites have to be shrunk again with their head held upright so as to make them more fair to headshot. We just don’t care what it takes, we want and NEED to be able to play as elites once more in social gametypes.
WORT WORT WORT

I prefer elites because they are cooler than Spartans. Sangheili 4 Lyfe. Seriously though I think they are awesome. I’ve played them since halo 2 and I never found myself at a disadvantage. I was pretty good at halo.

My sentiments exactly.My thoughts could have never been expressed in a more accurate manner.
Bring them back
I can see the issues with playable Elites causing a bit of disturbance ranking wise… however there is an easy fix to this. Well, a few actually.
-
Confine Playable Elites to the Social playlists (or whatever they end up calling the non-ranked playlists).
-
Create specific playlists suited for different Species Preferences. I.e: A Spartan only playlist, A Spartans V. Elites playlist, and an Elite only playlist.
-
You could only be ranked when playing as a Spartan. (In the event of the majority or ALL of the playlist being ranked).
Any one of these options would be acceptable if it meant bringing back playable Elites. Perhaps even one I have yet to think of. The point is, there is a way to satisfy both the Spartans and the Sangheili. There IS an outcome of this dispute where we all go home happy.
But that outcome, is up to 343. I hope they’re listening.
They said they were.
This thread is ridiculously long and successful. They would be idiots to ignore it.

How bout no, do you remember what happened the last time we had such restrictions such as this such implemented into a Halo game? I do, and it was called Reach which was a terrible idea to begin with. Hell, do you see people complaining in the MCC that Elite players are able to play games of H2A ranked Slayer? It is a blast to see two species shooting with each other to be able to obtain victory and not have to deal with just sticking with a playlist which turns boring and dull right away.
Keep the damn species barrier down like the MCC and allow us to play whatever we want, whatever species we want to be.
I hope they allow use to change eye and skin colour, gender and mouth structure.

Especially now that we can fully colour objects and thus make better covenant themed landscapes.

Being a game developer is not easy work.
Hopefully if Elites are in Halo 5, make them cute like Halo 3’s and they better make funny sounds when they die.

Agreed.There should be NO reason to restrict these player models to separate playlists,absolutely none.I can see no disturbances regarding the rankings,just let them share joint ranks like in Reach,where you could select your player model but now with no limitations to playlists.
Elites need to be playable in Halo 5. Bring them back 343.
A feature like playable elites never should’ve been removed. If anything, the logic of Bungie’s changes should’ve been expanded upon, not removed. That’s how sequels work.
Since the UNSC and the Elites are now allies, shouldn’t it be more logical for them to train together?

Especially now that they even fight side by side with the Arbiter.
