Ideally I would like something pre-schism, since this whole barely-functioning ragtag fleet idea isn’t quite as impressive or entertaining to be part of. They would likely keep it around the same time frame as Halo 5 of course, but they could go quite a few ways with this.
Anything would be welcome, I would love to be able to create my own Sangheili with choosing both your own individual look with armour and what you as a Sangheili would dream to look like. What I mean by this is do you want to look like a Sangheili from Halo 2 Anniversary or Halo 4 et cetera . I would absolutely choose Halo 2 Anniversary.

H2A multiplayer runs on a heavily modified Halo 4 engine.
H2A campaign is the old Halo 2 engine with a new coat of paint.

As far as campaign goes, I would like to play as the arbiter and his missions against the covenant on sanghelios and other areas.
The more and more I watch Warzone the more and more I wish they would have added elites. They would fit so perfectly in with the game because it’s not just human v human. Its human v covenant v promethean and not having playable elites just makes it seem so bland. I’d be down to play as a promeathean as well. But i really miss my elites.
Unfortunately elites will most likely never happen again. 343 seems to be very much against them.
Wow, not gonna pre-order halo 4 then…

Time to boycott Halo 4!
This is a reason to have a Halo 3 Anniversary because if they just keep them out from Halo 5 then it just makes the Elite community disappointed and if they do make a H3A that would satisfy the community until Halo 6 if they even bother to actually include them since so far it’s doubtful that they will be included now unless some form of dlc is made to include them. I won’t mind if I would have to be purchase this dlc because at least they included them and this is for those who would explore more of Halo regarding the Elites.
Arrrr, I liked the way Elites are in Halo : Reach (on the jumps and the speed side) , I swear that don’t change anything in-game, we have Invasion and Spartans don’t win everytime and they are slower than Elites who are faster and bigger, the only reason Elites lose often is that damn Banshee where Elites don’t have anything against a Banshee that know what he is doing.
I play as Elite because it’s the closest character to a Grunt but I like playing like that, Elites aren’t that common and I have that strange feeling in Halo : Reach… maybe the fact I can’t follow Spartan players in those Infection maps with narrow tunnels ? I must stay here, with other Elites if I’m not the only one in the game.
Elites don’t need the same size and stats than Spartans, don’t worry, think Reach and Invasion.

I doubt they are going to make halo 3 anniversary, The game looks good to this date, and there would be no point in having the same game twice when you already have it at 60 fps with all multiplayer maps in MCC.

Yea but everything about MCC multiplayer just sucked -Yoink- because of how broken it is. Besides Halo 3 is 8 years old and I don’t like the MCC version just because its 60 fps and 1080p means nothing to me if playing the campaign alone or with friends causes some issues while playing the game and the atrocious Halo 3 gameplay for multiplayer.
for those who have not gone through the thousands of replies to this post, here is the reason Elites will not be playable in halo 5. 343 has decided to keep the multiplayer canon with the war games simulation and having AI enemies represent simulations rather than actual enemies. Here is a quote from the community section found under cannon fodder.
“War Games simulation technology has become increasingly sophisticated, with the UNSC leveraging it at all stages of training. Spartans are almost constantly engaged in War Games, familiarizing themselves with new weapons, enemies, and environments to solve the progressively complex and hazardous tactical problems they will face in the field. In effort to more accurately synthesize live fire battlefield conditions, and with new threats constantly emerging, the programmers and training personnel aboard the Infinity have enhanced their simulation scenarios to create Warzone, a combined-arms training program that pits Spartans against a wide range of Covenant and Forerunner enemies, as well as each other.”
I do find this as incredibly lazy and a cheap cop-out as to why Elites will no longer be playable in any upcoming halo’s. Given the amount of time and effort they placed into warzone “which looks absolutely fantastic” it is mind boggling why playable Elites were never considered. It’s even more disappointing that it was all done in the name of “keeping it Canon.” Not that it wasn’t doable or they didn’t have the team or budget, but simply because they didn’t want to.
I find this a sad turn when books based off the game start to dictate what the game becomes. I don’t care much for halo lore, sure it’s interesting, but I don’t play multiplayer for story. I play it for fun. This idea of keeping it canon only destroys what I found most enjoyable about it. Playing as an Elite.
You can also throw out the possibility of elites coming to DLC as that would ruin the Canon.
No. “Multiplayer is Canon” is not the reason Sangheili are not playable. It’s just the excuse.
The real reason is because 343 is pushing for Halo 5 to be an eSport, and you can’t have that with Elites.
But telling the fans that we’re not important enough to be placed in their product would be bad. So they made up the canon excuse.
Why are people still talking about this? It’s not happening for H5. Maybe another time.

We’re basically waiting for our thread to be moved to the Halo 6 forum now.

Even then, elites will most likely not be playable.

Well then that’s another Halo game that I won’t bother playing the multiplayer for.

I hope it’s gonna fail, I know a game where in beta the custom colors were available, yep no longer the case now, it’s skins instead and I don’t find that better, lack team deathmatch too, double fail… 343 is doing the same kind of mistake (Elites & Invasion who is a very good gametype) .
Oh wait, this is happened with Firefight too.
eSport, eSport… just put Elites in that’s all, as I said, that don’t change enough… (think Invasion) .

Yeah xD
Its soooo true… looks like people don’t realise Invasion is fine for every side, everyone win, everyone lose.
It’s funny how the Covenant failed with some weapons like the fuel rod guns on the Wraith that are useless against any fast unit (air units should be fast right ? ) , this vehicle is only effective against slow targets like tanks… (the fuel rod turret too since you can’t even kill a player on contact in one shot and I tried ! )
The only anti-everything weapon is the anti-air thing in Reach lol (the reason you can’t use it even if you manage to kill the “A.I. inside” I guess, I can tell you how I spare the anti-air shade) .
But back to the Elites… people who say Elites are easy targets never played with one I think, I was never killed because in a situation where I’m behind cover because something is still on sight… chances you are shot next to a Spartan is almost non existent and the higher jump is never very useful but I like this anyway.
Elites are cool, more than a Spartan and it’s a fact (look those assassinations ! ) for me…
That reminds me a topic with possible “Elite abilities” and a kick as one of the moves, sounds fun, that would be cool to kick like an A.I. Elite.
