Btw, this isn’t off topic mods, but everyone who hasn’t done so yet go to the first page of the thread and like the OP’s first post so we can reach 1000 likes please. 343 will have to notice that.
I do find it odd that there has been more focus on the Sangheili within the books now, but if I recalled that Halo 5 is the “Spartans’ Story” which still feels like a slap to the face.

I look at that and I say wow! Maybe they really do care about us Sangheili fans? Perhaps they are compensating for us in this way? Sangheili have been getting a lot of attention lore wise and I appreciate that! Maybe the desire to see them in MP has blinded us to the vast amount of lore they have put into them for us? Granted that the role playing aspect of MP is a large part of the enjoyment, I am very happy to know that they are a vertebrae if not multiple vertebrae in the backbone of the lore at this point and they always have been. The Sangheili aren’t going anywhere and they will always be a very important part of Halo. Seeing all of this lore about them shows how important they are and makes me think that they will make a return to MP in future titles. Halo 5 want’s to be for the competitive players. Maybe Halo 6 will be for us?

Great post, we should have to accept that we will not be playable in Halo 5 but I know it is not the last Halo and we could most certainly make a glorious return in a future Halo. As you have said the Sangheili are a major part of Halo’s lore and will be part of Halo to the very end. BTW, cannot wait to read Halo: Shadow of Intent!

I’m sorry 343, but why? Balance, hitboxes, competition: are these more important than your fans, loyal to Halo since times of old? At least let us know you’re listening, let us know you hear us, let us know you care . A 343 official, post here and talk to us about why? If not here, pm me please. I just need a logical reason for my crushed dreams and memories. Please. Please 343, please.
Even if it was an issue about balance, they could keep Elites out of Arena.
As long as they fix the larger hitbox issue I’m all for it.

All very good factors and reasons

I’ve been advocating for Halo 6 and Halo Online but… I’m not complaining that delightful lore tidbits it’s a lot more then what we ever got before. Plus Kilo-5 retconns as far as my eyes can see. But I am hoping that this is segwaying to Halo 6 or maybe even a spin off game. Hey a girl can dream.
I really hope they put Elites into Halo 5. I don’t see any reason not to. It has already been stated that canon, and balance isn’t an issue. They just don’t have time.
This is an old thread…
I miss rolling around at the speed of sound as an Elite during Halo Reach’s Invasion games.

That’s what I’ve been saying as well.

Or they don’t really play large a role in the campaign, so it doesn’t make sense to put them in multiplayer. Like in H2, they were a large focus in the campaign, so they made a playable character in multiplayer.

But then again Arbiter seems to have a big role in this if most of the fighting in the story is on sanghelios.

As we all do.
Elites i hope will be added as dlc later. I honestly dont understand why they were put in. I mean it cant take that long to put an elite model in the game. Also invasion needs to come back lol =]

???
State your reasoning, Bungie have done the same thing for 3 years straight and heck they(343) even did one for the H2A
This is their second time not having Elites for multiplayer
The Character Models, Sound design, animation are there so what’s stopping them?

I agree.

This video puts forth a good argument on why the Sangheili could or should be in H5.
This one puts fourth a good argument as well. I just hope 343 does, it would show that they are listening to Halo’s fans.
I swear if there is someone who can post a decent discussion (short and concise) to someone that may listen with a list of things that may benefit the games future and the rest of the franchise by 343i go ahead. Until then all we have is ideas that may never get answered because that’s just how it is.
