I don’t care to play as an Elite, but they sure were fun to snipe! With playable Elites in matchmaking I was able to spot a newb a mile away!
H6, I am almost certain you could be an elte or promie, for reasons I believe to be true. Perhaps why Helio armo is now for all except skril.,;~}

well you never know man just keep this thread goin and we might just see them in the future
Even though they did announce Warzone Firiefight, I don’t think we’ll be seeing playable Elites until Halo 6. Most of the assets and architecture for Warzone Firefight is already developed in standard Warzone.
They’d most likely have to create a lot of new assets for the Elites (VO, animation, new models, etc.). While I am optimistic, it wouldn’t surprise me if they didn’t make an appearance.

Thats been the case since H2. And post war with the anvil program elite-spartan joint operations have been a thing. Theres no lore keeping this from being a thing. The lore has been saying this is a thing for quite some time.
Just that KI got playable elites before and 343 halo has
IDK about anyone else on here, but I would pay anything up to $10 to have an Elite on my player ID once more, and be able to play as one in-game. I never cared about being the one Elite in a H3 game and being targeted all the time, as I had the skill to destroy most who tried, lol. Sadly I lost most of that when this thing called adulthood hit me with a job and college…
Regardless, we need them back. You can’t say “we made an alliance with them, and now fight alongside them” and then alienate (haha, punny) them from everything aside like 3 campaign missions.

They say after the game H5 is over, see you on Sanghelios my friend,;~}
I want to play as a Marine tbh.
Well I suppose if anything, the proper word to describe the lack of Sangheili, and the late arrival of casual gaming to the Halo 5 scene is: "LAZINESS!"
Let’s keep this thread going.

I feel like the goal is for most NPC characters and enemy types to be playable in some form.
The reality is that the Halo sandbox includes multiple species of gun-toting soldiers, and if you notice there are subtle balances here and there to make certain classes stack up with each other in Campaign. Jackals may be faster, jump higher, and can hold precision weapons, but Grunts can carry grenades and wield Fuel Rods/Lasers/Rockets. They can also operate vehicles, while Hunters cannot do either of the former. Not sure if Hunters and Knights even stack up anymore because Hunters are completely overpowered in this game…
And Promethean Soldiers are the most interesting. They can operate every vehicle in the game just like Elites and Spartans, along with having Sprint and Spartan Charge, but they don’t have shields, Thrusters, or Clamber. Also I think Elites have Clamber?

Okay so there was a halo ring, and the planet was Sanghelios?
I don’t quite know what that means but if it is a hint then lets hope so.

I want to believe that, but as far as I know they haven’t done a downloadable playable character in fps games before (Let alone a customizable one) I remembered them saying they would consider adding them in Halo 6 but currently no plans for Halo 5 DLC
One of the lore problems they might have with making Elites playable is the spartan abilities. I mean, an elite with a thruster pack seems pretty ridiculous. Plus, 4 of the spartan abilities “require” the thruster pack. (Ground Pound, Spartan Charge’ Thruster Pack, Stabilizer)

And unless they make an Elite abilities, they may not show up in Halo 5 as playable. which is why Elites can only make it in Halo 6.

Unless I am mistaken, I clearly remember elites with jetpacks flying in Halo 2 and Halo Reach. Why would thrusters be such an issue?

Besides the thruster stuff which is easily doable anyway, it’s not like punching and climbing are really “abilities”. Of course Elites won’t show up in Halo 5 regardless, but it’s not due to any mechanic or canon issues.
Holy yoink this has got to be the biggest thread I’ve ever seen, get the hint 343
