Alot of fans are hoping elites might make it into Halo 5 as dlc, and since all of the dlc maps for halo 5 are free. Elites if they make it into the game will most likely be free:)
And to 343 if you see this what i’m about to say will help with balancing in pvp.
elites can be made to be more agile like in Reach and 3 so they can move better because they are 8 ft tall and easy to shoot. Or you can make them slower and they can take longer to kill(but I dont recommend this).
For alternate armor abilities since some spartan abilities revolve around thrusters and as far as I can tell elites in Halo 5 have none. So elites can just use evade(like in Reach) or leap (jump farther than normal) instead of thrusters. They can lunge at other players in a huge melee attack instead of shoulder charge. Finally as an alternate to ground pound elites can either turn invisible for a while, but this should have a longer recharge time because of how op this can be in the right hands and my favorite is that the elite could activate and throw and energy sword to one shot a single player at range.
343 I hope you get this and use it, but for players take elites being in halo 5 as dlc with a grain of salt because balancing abilities like those given to the spartans does take time not mention everything else 343 has to do in the game so doing the abilities above would take time out of things like completing the rest of the game so at this point dlc is the only elites might make it. But because of demand we could see elites in Halo 6 or if 343 is listening well in Halo 5 as dlc.

They said the issue was more about time and commitment not balance or canon. According to one post regarding the Elites.

If Elites are included as DLC, I’d rather they play as closely to Spartans as possible. And it’d be pretty easy, in my mind, to simply give Elites thrusters. After all, Rangers use 'em.

It definitely would be easier to give them thrusters especially since the ranger armor has it but I thought it would be cool if elites had a different play style with them so they wouldn’t seem like reskinned spartans, but as long as there in the game soon I’m okay with almost anything.

Personally I would kind of hate if they were added and were exactly the same as Spartans, abilities and all. To me it doesn’t make any sense. You could use the ranger argument, but it just seems completely unnatural and out of place in this case IMO. Really, I would be more insulted to see them like that then to not have them playable at all. In Halo 3 it was good since they were up against Spartan II’s, but with Spartan IV’s inferior stature and all the new tech they have to support them, it just doesn’t feel right that they would share the same traits as them and have to rely on such equipment to get around. It just kind of bugs me knowing there size and natural power must be scaled down just to fit into all MP playlists. Personally I feel that there is no way that they are going to add them in and make them playable in all playlist, since they would probably get an overwhelming number of complaints because of that. If anything it would be an invasion type thing they would do to make them playable again. Too many people would complain about head shots, hit boxes etc. if they were fully integrated into MP. So yes, while it would be easier to add them as equals to the Spartans, It is IMO, insulting to see them in that way. I am guessing that there are many other who would agree with me. I could be wrong though.
It’s so annoying how people complain they won’t be competitive enough, or they’re too big, your competitiveness is what ruins games, not everything has to be 100% balanced. If we want to play as an elite, then let us. We have a bigger hitbox then you, quit your complaining you’ll be getting easier kills.
I want my elites back. Not everyone is so obsessed with Spartans like you 343.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. I once said that I was worried that 343 was focusing too much on Spartans, I guess that it’s true.
I saw playable elites as a new layer of creativity for players. Specifically machinima. Since halo 4 dropped how many big hitter machinimas have hit? None. It brought in new ideas, new layers of creativity and a whole new community of players (sangheli community) and I think it’s sad it’s being left behind. Not to mention invasion (my favourite gametype of all time) went with it. Dwmn shame.

I’m holding out for Halo Online and hoping it delivers. In the event DLC never comes, of course.

Agreed, nothing has to be about trying to be MLG or trying to be in that competitive sense. Though from what they frank seems to have said about them not being playable he probably wanted them in but don’t see time to do it.
I’d like to play as an elite again and if they can bring Elites back for DLC (not holding my breath) then I’ll give it a chance. But they also have to have split-screen to.

Oh yeah the Halo reach machinimas were the best I wish those days would come back. At least elites will be in multiplayer in a way with warzone but as AI not players better than nothing.
Not for me. Elites need to be playable otherwise it’d be like Spartan ops in Halo 4 and MP.
Heck I would never touch a Mortal Kombat game if Reptile and Sub-Zero weren’t in it.
I’m still hoping for a DLC with Elites that are playable. And an Invasion Game type added later would really be great, but i’m just a sucker for Elites.

Aren’t we all just suckers for Elites here? xD How could I stay mad at that face even after attempting genocide on the entire human race? Who tried to commit genocide? You did! Yesh you did, yesh you did! Oh you are sho cute! Look at him! Aw, he even got me a card that says “I’m sowwy I twide to commit genocide”. Signed Thel 'Vadam and crew. xD Forgive and forget, my friends. Forgive and forget.

this is just right–^
you know what 343, put all species in. Seriously, it cant be that hard. you already have all the models. hell I’ll map them to the player for you so you stop complaining about time and commitment. I have time, and commitment. I’ll even do it for free.
