> Adding elites to Halo 5 would be awesome!
Indeed sadly that may not happen. I want it to though cause the forge for Halo 5 is amazing form an observers point of view.
Honestly I was so disapointed when they weren’t announced playable for Halo 5, and that’s the one thing keeping me from liking this game as much as halo 2,3, and reach.
Seriously though, it’s so irritating! What is it with 343i hating on elites, ever since halo has been their’s they’ve refused to make elites playable for some unknown reason. It’s almost like they’re doing it on purpose just to annoy us some more.
A part of me feels like they’ll never add elites back.

I hope they do. Otherwise I will never have faith in halo again.
However I think elites can still make it.
They couldn’t add Elites because they were too busy polishing up the spectacular graphics on the multitude of gold req packs to purchase. Those enticing animations, the stars, the swoopy sound when you open one…sparkly! Don’t you like sparkly!?! MUCH better than getting the Elites as playable characters…I mean, even though there are over a measly 11,000 posts and counting in this thread, surely you have realize you are just a small niche of the community!
I mean, such entitlement-urp, choke…
Sorry, I just can’t keep typing this crap, I just can’t.
I’m sorry, Twinkies disappeared and re-appeared due to public outcry and demand sooner then getting Elites back in a current Halo game. I personally don’t care to play as an Elite, but I know those who do, really enjoy the Sangheli story line and culture and playstyle.
Elites were fun in Reach - bring back invasion pls? 
Invasion and needle rifle please

Don’t forget the multicolored lines on all the “special” guns. I don’t know how Halo 5 could have survived without all those fancy weapon skins.

Yes. Absolutely Yes! Infinitely YES !

Not really, in Arena you would start with the same weapon regardless of race. In Warzone you get your weapons through REQs and thus are not forced to play with a PR and Carbine all the time.
The reason is that they had no time. From what I hear it sounds like they wanted them but couldn’t I know it sucks but it makes more since than something like canon or balance.

Not in Invasion, my bad.

Well they should absolutely have time to add Sangheili into DLC (which is unlikely) or Halo 6. I also kind of miss playing as a Sangheili in the campaign like in Halo 2 and Halo 3. That was one of the things Bungie did right.
We don`t play as Elites cos the games have us playing as humans. You could only play them fully in Halo 2/3 and that was because the Arbiter was playable. Reach had a much reduced amount of playablity and the main reason they was about was Invasaion and firefight versus. After Reach there was, like Halo CE and ODST, no link with any gametype that required elites, therefore no need to make elites playable.
Also what`s the big deal? How often do you even look at your character? You spend alot of time checking how many toes you have while playing? 
Not that i’m encouraging more Req cards, but can you imagine the variety of armor for the elites? I have a feeling the elite armor would look better than most of the current spartan armor. I’d rock an elite all day!

Elites are way too big compared to even the biggest Spartan, I think Bungie realised this and thats why we have the hunched over dinos of H3 and the massive different play style models of Elites in Reach.

Elites are only about 8ft dude its just that in reach your character model was in the 6’8 height range

Actually if you go back to the Halo CE manual it say that “There are a few varieties of the Elite, but all are roughly 8’6’’ tall and incredibly strong.” You know what? It’s funny. getting off topic a bit they have Ripa ‘Moramee listed standing at 8’1’’ tall on the Halo Wiki page which can’t be right since he was exceptionally tall for his race. They should probably add a foot or two to that. XD

some of us don’t find it very fun to play as something that is human in three first place. Where theirs would find fun in playing as the tanks that shoot the monster, some of us actually prefer to be that monster. Their are plenty of other FPS game out there that has you play as only humans anyway heck they are far more common than fps games that lets you have that variety that Halo 2/3/reach have.
Some of us just like the idea being something that isn’t human. That’s what makes elites is fascinating they are other worldly and something we are not. Beside sI can point out at least one or more things about how much we have in common with a Spartan. we may not be super soldiers but theirs a lot more stuff we are familiar with.

The Needle Rifle is returning in this month’s update as a special variant of the Carbine.
Just to clear up on misconception about the canonical appearance of sangheili.
The most canonical design of sangheili are the halo4/5 ones, but the only thing that carries on from the previous designs are the mandibles.
So the existing phenotypes would be: elites with H3 mandibles, elites with reach mandibles, elites with HW mandibles, and elites with H4/5 mandibles.
Thel for example, his canonical design would be a halo 4/5 sangheili but with H2A mandibles.
So if you hate the halo 4/5 model all around then I have some bad news for you…

Well it’s just a Covenant Carbine that act like a Needle Rifle, not sure you can tell it’s a needle variant the second you see one.
