When this thread was started, we took an oath According to this forum, all with our exception
On the blood of our fathers, on the blood of our sons. We swore to keep this thread alive Even to the final game
Those who would break this oath are heretics , worthy of neither pity nor mercy. Even now, they use “lore” excuses to broadcast their lies We shall grind them into dust And continue our campaign for elites in halo 5!
-Rtas vadum, probably.

When those 300 Spartan III were deployed, they were still young and had no mjolnir, but they still destroyed elites in hand-to-hand combat. And then, you have a spartan-II with mjolnir being equal to Thel. But mjolnir make Spartans 5 times stronger.
Aliens made OP? They were threatening in the first few novels, then portrayed as complete fools later on. Even Nylund, whose work on FoR I enjoyed, decided to follow the majority and degrade the covenant. Also, Thel being equal to an armoured Spartan is a canon citation. Read the Cole Protocol. Spartans without Mjolnir beating elites? Where? I don’t see any proof.
Elites would suck without grunts and jackals? Don’t make me laugh.
I’m not hating my own race. Im hating on the portrayal of alien races in Halo. All I want is some proper respect for them. Not just Elites, but ALL of the alien races.
You know, I didn’t dislike Spartans when I first started playing, but after years of disrespect, racism and insults, I can’t stand any further fanboyism/exaggeration of spartan ability.

Don’t let it stop you from respecting Spartan players though. most of them are not even like that. In fact many of them our helping us in the long run
I wouldn’t call it a thread anymore. It’s more of a Web. An expansive, multi-layered web interlaced with the cries of hundreds of Sangheili, rallying together under a collective banner for a single cause:
The inclusion of playable Sangheili (Elites) within Halo 5’s multiplayer.

Another supporter rallies to our cause…
How many more must be gathered 343? How much more proof do you need? Is it not clear? Have the words spoken here not been heard? Open your eyes! And return to us what once was lost!

Almost forgot about those guys. I actually just got done checking their site, and it looks like they’re still kicking. Good thing too. Their work looks very promising.
You know, like 80% of the posts in this thread are spam and the spam it’s still intense, You guys wanna know why they haven’t closed it yet?
Cause even the Moderators an Admins want to see Elites in the new MP Triology matchmaking, and even if it take me up to Halo 12, am gonna do my best to revive this thread.

I will join your noble cause for elites in Halo 5! Down with the lore heretics!
I always play as An elite. Sanghelli were always a warrior race. They are and still are some of the best fighters in the universe. I good Sanghelli can easily take down a spartan. Were the cheif to fight thel vadam i would put my money on the arbiter any day. FOR SANGHELIOS!
it’s E3 2015, and after showing off some very successful campaign footage, revealing new details, and new trailers, 343 leaves us with one last video.
It begins by showing off a few Spartans duking it out in multiplayer combat (in an unspecified arena) We are shown one of the Blue Spartans running after a member of Red team, of whom he catches up to, proceeding with an assassination attempt. The maneuver is cut short a split second later when out of nowhere, a crimson clad Sangheili warrior tackles the Blue Spartan, pinning him to the ground. The Sangheili growls at him, activating his Energy Dagger and plunging it into the Spartan’s neck. The Elite stands, and issues forth a mighty roar. Responding to the call, a group of Sangheili from both sides sprint into battle, blades glowing ,and weapons blazing. After showing off some epic Elite vs Spartan action the screen cuts to black.
The crowd goes wild, fans cry tears of joy, and those of us back here who advocated their return; we rejoice. Our battle has been won, the war is over. But an end to one war does not single an end to all wars. For our fight is never finished. We shall continue to oppose all who would dare remove playable Elites from the multiplayer of Halo games for as long we have too.

I agree with this, the Humans and Elites are working together now anyways so it can fit into the game that way as well.

And there can always be Halo CE if someone doe snot want Elites.
We want to play this game to but we don’t want to be the same as other Spartans. Choice is a god given right my friend.
Listen brothers and sisters, these are trifling times indeed, for all of us. But we must stand tall as this eclipse is almost over. As the shadows of darkness flee in dismay, the sun will shine its blazing light upon us all! Our time is near and we shall rise from the grave that the lore heretics have dug for so long. They think they can keep us down? Were it so easy. We must hold strong as we did in the Great Schism! Our faith will be tested but it WON’T be broken! They think we have given up this fight but it has only just begun. We have tolerated insults and heretic lore for far too long. THEY are the HERETICS. THEY are the FOOLS. And so, THEY must be SILENCED. They may outnumber us 3 to 1, but this is an even fight. We will launch a new campaign, a NEW JOURNEY. We will cut into the heart of this infestation, retrieve our HONOR, and will GLASS all who lie in our way! We have come too far to just give up, on the blood of our fathers…on the blood of our SONS, the great journey has only begun! If it takes one’s death, so be it, but you will not defeat our cause! Even in death, our brothers will guide us home! Now I do not ask you to join out of despair, I ask of you to join for hope of a new age. This is our fight and WE will see it finished. The sangheili will return and we WILL continue our campaign against the humans!

No. The dirty Sanghelleos are unworthy to be in this games multiplayer.

And YOU human, are unworthy to inhabit this sacred ground and desecrate it with your filthy insults. Now I suggest you leave. Your kind, is not welcome here.
