Because unless it is only playable in one mode that model is unbalanced, It is harder to headshot an Elite in the back of the head than it is a spartan that is why they are not included. Besides IMO Elites should not be the same as spartans. If they are ever add in DLC they should come as part of a game mode like invasion from Reach and that is all. As IMO Reach’s Elites are the best we have ever had.

> 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”.

Exactly, how could I stay mad at my favourite species of all time. To me they can be forgiven as their religion and campaign for the genocide of the Human race was fed to them from a very well hidden and manipulative lie. I am sure they went along with it for the general well being for their species something the human race would of done if the roles were switched. Just as someone would forgive, (at least in my opinion) Germany in WW2, the Germans were not evil, many in the Wehrmacht were just like their fellow brothers of the Allied side, either forced to fight or convinced through the lies of corrupt, those in higher places, fake beliefs or evil men. The ones in the high places are the evil ones bending others to their will to do whatever genicidal madness they crazily believe in, aka -Yoink!- and the SS and the Prophets. The Elites and many other species of the Covenant are in the same boat, they were either forced to fight or were convinced through the power of those in control.
If me comparing Halo to WW2 offends anyone I am sorry, it is in no way meant to be offensive towards Germany or anyone else, I think this is to me is a good example to compare with, even if it is a real life event in history.
Just that those with that much power and the certain aspects of fear they strike into the ones who follow them have is a scary thing. There are no winners in war.

Any hitbox issues regarding elites were almost exclusive to Halo 3. And even in Halo 3, they could still be shot from behind. Either way, I’d be happy with the Halo 2 and Halo: Reach method.

While that is a good comparison, I think in fact the covenant was based off of Muslim extremist and terrorist organisations and such. A lot of what goes on in the lore bares resemblance to things going on in the real world today. Maybe the halo wiki has information about it? I’m not sure, but I saw that around somewhere.
Some people still look at some Elites as genocidal maniacs but they are complex. Heck there were many Elites who preferred having Humans in the covenant . Bare in mind that even with the UNSC as the protagonists the UNSC has some bad apples to.
Look. there are some who want Elites to be playable and not all of us are going to be playing invasion 100 percent of the time.
so if you make Elites playable for custom games (all of them) and have an Elite slayer (which I cannot see why people would oppose its no different from everyone being a Spartan) so I ask this, how would you balance the elites out in MP without resulting to just leaving them out.
Wow this thread is still going, why is playing as an elite such a big do to people. Im an elite in halo 2 but I completely forget till I go into a 3rd person view. You can’t even tell your an elite till you die or get in a vehicle so why is being an elite important? If you wanna kill elites in MP go play war zone.

Because we like variety and want to be different; we’re the kind of players who would rather be the dragon instead of the knight. We don’t like that 343 is forcing everyone to play as Spartans when we could be Elites, and the fact that we had this option in previous games doesn’t really help 343’s case.
Something I’m curious about, is why we get someone on this thread saying “Wow, this thread is still here? Why do you guys care about this so much?” every other week.

I have heard about that as well and I think what you also say is correct in that the Covenant is based off and shows us the dangers of religious fanaticism.

It’s literally the same reason customization is important… Would you play a Halo game without Recon armor or Chief’s helmet somewhere further down the list, even though you can’t see it unless you die?
Theater mode allows you to watch your own gameplay. Obviously there is a market for people that want to play as 8ft tall ninja alien warriors instead of space marines, and there is a market for female gamers that want to play as female Spartans…

Precisely.
Unfortunately those who think we are making fuss for nothing will never understand no matter how many times you tell them.
Not everyone wants to play knight. Some would rather be the monster than fight the monster. sadly some of these guys will never get that memo.
343i already said that there wont be elites in multiplayer other than NPC’s in Warzone

Yes, we all know this, but this thread is about elites returning in new trilogy multiplayer, be it as Halo 5 update/DLC or Halo 6. As an update/DLC seems like the best choice as they’ll receive a more consistent budget and they’ll have plenty of time to do it since the game will already be released. There’s no reason the feature should have ever been removed. What’s the logic of Bungie giving elites unique stats and then 343 removing them entirely? Sequels expand.
elites in halo4 that ship has sailed
I like elites, but not in matchmaking

This thread was made for Halo 4, but was moved to Halo 5 forums and renamed to reflect the desire to have the feature in any upcoming title.

But we (The supporters of this thread) do. Should your opinion that they don’t belong in matchmaking outweigh our opinions that they do?
Finally I have found my home. A place full of Sangheili brethren. Phew. I was drowning in Spartan ego back there.

You’re right brother. We are a mighty race not to be triphiled with. We will not back down, we will not cower in the shadows of our demon oppressors, we will not retreat, and we will not die. We will show 343i that when the majority stands against us, we only become stronger. The true power of the Sangheili is only viewable with fully playable elites, not just in some gametypes. That is where Reach failed. 343i has risen from the ashes of Halo’s previous caregivers, and has accepted a gargantuan burden that is known to Humans as Responsibility. Halo 4 was just the first steps of an infant learning to walk. I pray to the heavenly that they listen to us my brethren. For we are continuously speaking.
