I think it would be wicked to have a spinoff game, much like ODST, in which you play as elites, like Usze 'Taham and N’Tho 'Sraom. They are pretty underdeveloped characters so it could go anywhere. I’m not really sure where ODST stands under the community as it is not talked of much, but I personally liked it a lot. Having an ODST like spinoff that could develope those two characters could open the doors up to their reintroduction into the story. I’m just spitballing ideas out and something like this, I think could be really cool if done right.
I also think Elites should be in all but the arena type games since those who are worried about hitboxes will spend every second on the Arena playlists anyway.
Its a win/win solution.

That way the competitive people can’t complain
I would personally love to see a spin off game based on R’tas Vadum. Something really cool like how he lost his two mandibles, or featuring 'Juran, featuring the first female sangheili in game story wise.

Halo the graphic novel filled the niche of how he lost his two mandibles but I can see where you are coming from because Rtas is an extremely cool and interesting character.

Id prefer one on the arbiters whole life. From when he was young, to the human covonent war, to halo 3, and then during the civil war.

That would actually be really cool, I would love to see certain things from arbiters point of view, like Halo 1 for example.
I wouldn’t want them to change the environments though, if we go into an area with the halo 1 style spire, I want that spire to be identical to the way it was. I’m not a fan of when things are changed just to flex virtual muscles.

I think that is a really cool Idea. Those were really great characters in “Hunters In The Dark”. I’d love to see them return at some point. Maybe Usze 'Taham could join fireteam osiris and Vale could be reunited with her good Sangheili friend?
While a full game with a campaign based of elites would be very cool, the thing that is most attainable and realistic is elites in multiplayer. Let’s start there then we can fantasize onword. Halo 6 in my eyes would see the franchise commit suicide if there are not playable elites.
edit*
Just to warrant my last statement the reason I believe that is because a whole lot of people myself included want to see not only playable elites, but just generally just for Halo to be as social as it once was. I mean I’m friends with people I met on halo 3 7 years ago. Playable elites and how social halo is go hand in hand, because the competitive community does not like different hit boxes. That is why as halo gets more competitive, elites are phased out. But I completely agree with the competitive community and think elites should only be in social modes. But they should 100% be playable in game, not excluded because they won’t be in arena.

Plus more playable characters/variety opens up the game to a wider audience, which is a win for 343.

Could you pretty please direct us to an answer of why they haven’t added elites? I haven’t seen any official answers and it’s been creating a lot of rumors and hear say. If you’re all watching, do you mean the monitors or 343 as a whole? I’d just like an answer or a direction to a post with a solid answer. Thanks.
Question anyone know if Halo Wars 2 will have joint Unsc/Elite missions? I think that would be a dope idea. Maybe the way 343 wedge canon elites into MP for Halo 6… A very low maybe.

Possible. We might even “technically” get elites in MP again.

Yeah well your not gonna get it, the mods are just volunteers. They know as much about what 343 does as we do, they just inforce the rules and make sure people don’t break them…
A monitor ended up posting on the chat due to people roleplaying as Sangheili. I had to go back and find that response myself just to see who and how it was written, then I saw the giant ONI symbol. That surprised me haha. Oh and the great thing is people actually listened and managed to go back to discussing the original topic! God I love that. There’s debating going on in this thread every now and then, but most people in here I don’t see being the typical kind of threads you see on this site. Yay!
Something that has never made sense to me about 343 removing playable elites, is that they removed uniqueness. The thing that set Halo apart from other shooters, is that during the Bungie years at least. Halo was the only FPS game off the top of my head where you could play as an alien. That’s unique, and since it is unique it is a serious selling point.

Indeed. so I don’t see how this could be difficult either
Worried about hitboxes? make Elites playable in social matchmaking and other game types but leave them out of Arena/MLG) That’s what some of these poeple are worried about, aren’t they? I think if we get them back, it will be a very good thing to have going on.

That’s also what I don’t understand, they can just make them not be playable in the mlg gametypes. So really there is no excuse for them not having playable elites in the game, unless they just like making people mad.
Edit: 600 page hype!

And we know they have a big track record of making people mad.
