Not really revived, it has been consistently posted in since then and continues to be a place to provide feedback for re-introducing playable Elites.

> So it seems that Sangheili will indeed not be playable in Halo 4 Matchmaking due to a ‘canonical matchmaking experience’. I will refrain from stating my opinion on the idea of attempting to make Matchmaking canonical, but the opportunity to have Elites playable is still not forever erased. There is no doubt that this thread has been noticed by at least a few 343 Industries employees. It is the top thread in the Halo 4 Forum, and was mentioned in one of the Q&A Updates. Unfortunately, we have lost the first battle. Elites will not be playable in Multiplayer on the original Halo 4 shipping disc. However there is still time for 343 Industries to listen to their fans.
> It may be possible to include elite player models in future Downloadable Content, depending on the layout of the Halo 4 engine. If this is not possible, do not lose faith. If 343 Industries wants to be known as one of the few developers that listens to their fans, they will most certainly incorporate elites as playable characters in Halo 5 & 6. With this being the most popular thread on this forum and holding that title, it seems to be one favor that the fans are wishing to see fulfilled. I comprehend that 343 Industries wanted to make this “their Halo” and not “Bungie’s Halo”, and I respect that philosophy, but this does not mean that all core elements should be pushed to the wayside. This is one core element of Halo Matchmaking that should never be pushed to the wayside.
> Jaime Griesemer: “I’d much rather experiment and do something surprising, and not have everybody appreciate it, than just turn the crank and do another alien war movie with a space marine”
> This is a quote from Jamie Griesemer regarding the criticism that the Arbiter’s missions in Halo 2 received. So 343 Industries wisely took the information from the fans about this and created the “Spartan Identity” for Halo 4. Unfortunately the Sangheili population has grown much larger since Halo 2. My identity in Halo, and many others, is an elite. It is not going to be a pleasant experience having to change my identity for Halo 4, but if we stick it out, we may be rewarded.
> Below is the original post written on March 5th, 2012 containing many reasons why the Sangheili community has grown and the importance of their inclusion.
> -ORIGINAL POST-
> Without jumping to conclusions, I understand that Sangheili have neither been confirmed or denied for the Multiplayer of Halo 4, but I would like to present my explanation for why it is imperative Elites make a return, much more dignified than the limitations of Reach.
> It is no doubt the Elite community within Halo is small, but having been involved with it for 6 and half years now, I am astounded at it’s growth. As more Halo media like The Return, Halo: Cole Protocol, and Halo: Glasslands makes it’s way to the gamer, the more compelled the gamer is to prefer playing as an Elite over a Spartan. Especially when the media makes reference to things found on a game level, such as Thel 'Vadam or the Revenant. Although that sounds like a very basic and broad way to explain this, after speaking with the populous of newly converted “Elite players”, this is the general reason I get for this exponential growth. To make this point, I ask you to look around, and in nearly every thread you will see at least one or two users with Elite or Covenant avatars.
> 343i, I would like you to recognize that we are here collectively, and we deserve the respect and catered opinions just as much as the Spartan fanbase. Although extreme, I know players who actually will not buy Halo 4 if they are not available in Matchmaking, and I cannot say I blame them. What would Halo be without Covenant Weapons/Vehicles as well? Energy Swords, Needlers, and Wraiths are all iconic symbols of what makes Halo, Halo.
> The limitations of playing as an Elite in Halo Reach are indeed disheartening. Going back to the Halo 3 method of playing as an elite during regular Matchmaking can be the solution. Not only does that add to the customization, but it can also be explained canonically. I understand that 343i is in the process of delivering a canonical explanation for the Red and Blue Spartans fighting each other. The relationship between Humans and Sangheili can be used to add Elites into this mix. Since the UNSC and the Sangheili are allied, having them use human weapons is anything but non-canon. Or if you would like to take the reverse side of the coin, ONI is supplying the Servants of Abiding Truth with weaponry, which is human as well. This can easily be weaved into the plot without creating a mess.
> I understand the game is very far into the development stage, I do not know for sure, but judging by the newest ViDoc, I believe it isn’t too late to give the Elite fanbase a voice. We’re here, we shouldn’t be neglected, and if we are, I can assure you that 343i will lose a great deal of supporters.

olha gostaria muito de ter os elites como escolha de jogador para o combati no halo 5 tomara que a industria 343 acorda e ve que esta precisando de inovações temperadas com as opiniões dos jogadores pois somente eles sabem de verdade o que o jogo precisa pois nos passamos horas dias meses jogando vendo os erros e acertos de quem faz o jogo faca o que nos aclamamos pois assim seras bem sucedidos

sim eu concordo plenamente queremos os elites de volta no multiplayer. queremos ver esse guerreiros fabulosos como escolha de combatentes na hora de jogar o combati nas arenas de halo 5
I’d love to play as an elite, they’re one of the main reasons I love Halo

Nah, they care too much about esports and being “fair”. They have already said this game’s entire engine revolves around no split screen, and they’ll put it back in future games. It would be nice though…
They already stated that the reason for no elites was due to lack of resources and they weren’t a priority. Whether or not they were telling the truth I’m not sure.

Well considering they pretty much have a bunch of time now since halo 5 has been out for a few months now, so they really have no excuse to at least talk to us.
Yeah 343 really needs to respond to this thread. I really want my favorite space lizard samurais back 
I loved being an elite in reach lol

We’ve been patient. 343 is running out of time for some of us.
Kinda unbelievable we still have to have this discussion.
Elites were a staple of Halo Multiplayer since Halo 2. It’s an absolute oversight, and a shame they were taken out of online multiplayer.
This is the longest thread I’ve ever seen…

Yes, that huge lack of resources 343 has, then goes and makes forge for PC, something no one wanted, and almost 0 demand for…

People did want it, but I see what your saying. Believe me that was the first thing I thought; why make this when we beg for that?
But who knows, the only thing I want is for them to keep us informed on what’s going on, rather then make us wait to find out and create a false hype.
If elites in halo 5 are possible, please let us know. And if the answer is yes, will they put forth the effort to make it happen?
I just want a yes or a no honestly, if no, then I guess it’s time to move on to something else halo related or not, I can’t keep focusing on one thing for the next 3 years hoping they will add them, and get dissapointed when they don’t. I’d rather just know.

And respectful. Peacefully demand, don’t throw out " oh 343 sucks if they don’t do x"
That will get us collectively nowhere.

“Lack of resources” more like a pr excuse to cover up laziness
They were in multiplayer standard for 2 of 6 games, one as a “special” class (reach)
That is half or just under half
I’m so happy elites aren’t in matchmaking, it made the game feel like such weeby crud
