Maybe free DLC/update, but if I have to pay for that (if the price is $1.99 or more) I’ll be ashamed of 343.
I feel this thread isn’t going to die even after Halo 5
343i listen to ur fans k

So what’s the plan for the next three years, guys?
Well we’ll keep going at it. Heck we’ve still got Halo Online so I’m not too worried
And I’m gonna keep futilely hoping for them as DLC.

for me not play H5, and besides we’re gonna have Halo Reach coming to the XB1 if I heard/saw correctly.
Once again 343I has failed the Sangheili community.

Play the Master Chief Collection when I can be bothered, the ODST port when it eventually releases, and then give up on the console Halo franchise altogether when and if I get word that Halo 6 won’t have Elites in its multiplayer either, relegating myself to Halo Online when it eventually goes global.
As it stands? Lots of waiting - but that’ll be alright because I’ll be busy playing other (and to be honest, better) games.

Same.
I’ll be playing ESO, Killer Instinct should be getting season 3 very soon and MKX is expected to get more content coming.
and play Halo reach if it gets released on Xbox one.
They have them in Halo Online along with an in-universe explanation, it would be cool seeing them in Halo 5.

I just want to know why Halo Online is only Russian…just wondering. Granted at least we know they’re in a Halo game and playable (right?)
I’ll be playing Fallout 4 honestly, 343 hasn’t really hooked me on their game and it’s quite sad, Bungie always managed to get me hooked every time, now this new company is making a Call of Duty knock off and downgrading everything to appeal to other gamers.
Meanwhile Fallout 4 will let you customize armor, weapons, and even your very own house, plus 400+ hours of possible gameplay…Halo is beat this year folks.
And 343 has stated there is a program for joint human/sangheili operations, yet we can’t -Yoinking!- get Sangheili in multiplayer.
On top of this suck fest, why is it this is a simulation but it lacks almost everything the UNSC has encountered as weapons, Spartans are training with new things…-Yoink-, they need to train with EVERYTHING, even Spartan Strike/Assault had all these weapons yet we can’t get it in Halo 4-6.
Good luck guys in Halo 5, i’ll be kicking -Yoink- in the Boston Wasteland in Fallout 4.
Not an Elite player, but my condolences go out to you who prefer Sangheili. I’m sure that if we push hard enough we can see the option return one day.

So a player skin determines whether or not you like a game and not, you know, actual gameplay???

The gameplay wasn’t much special either, though.

He/she didn’t mention gameplay, though. The way his/her comment was written made it appear as though playing as an Elite was what would make or break the game for him/her.

Well, there’s a difference between not getting a game because a feature is missing and not getting a game because a lot of people want the feature and were mostly ignored for three years until it was too late. If there was more communication from 343 on subjects like this (Or if the feature was never introduced by Bungie in the first place), people wouldn’t be as much into the idea of boycotting the games. I’m sure as hell upset with the lack of playable elites, but the blow wouldn’t have been as bad if 343 didn’t plainly ignore the question until there was no way out of it. It seems they just completely ignore the idea of a Sangheili community anyway. Everything regarding 343’s work such as Waypoint’s profiles and the games insist all players are Spartans and nothing else, even MCC where elites are indeed an option.
My point here is we all have a right to be mad since this is one of the largest threads and this part of the community is still treated as if it doesn’t exist.
(Helioskril still doesn’t make up for -Yoink-)

It’s but one of many nails in the long list of failures that make the coffin of Halo 5, for me.
But sure, go ahead and marginalise how important every last feature is.
Aw man, I still can’t believe it.
Bungie proved that Elites in casual matchmaking and customs was possible, I don’t know what the deal is this time. Even just in customs would make so many people very happy.
This thread reminds me of my teen years; filled with yearning and regret…
Should have put this thread on TeamBeyond, 343 doesn’t seem to acknowledge Waypoint.
I don’t usually play as Elites even in customs but I truly do feel for all those who do.
Edited due to the wonders of touch screens.
Frankie confirmed that playable Sangheili were cut due to large cost of implementation and resource prioritisation.
A guy mentioned them wasting resources on redesigning the rocket launchers.
Let me mention wasting resources on making variants of human weapons and weapon skins.
