I don’t have the game so I can give a basic idea only.
About balancing that would be faster and without the area of effect if you follow the usual asymmetrical balancing… one hit kill or nothing at all.

So they ground pound faster then?

Need higher ground so you can’t really “ground pound” someone at the same level.
EDIT : if they jump, seem jumping is enough to use the ground pound and if Elites must use their own weight, they must do that from a higher level.

Seems like an interesting concept… though they will probably just have the normal ground pound.
A cool ground pound then… like Elite to Spartan assassinations in Reach (next to the Spartan>Elite ones at least) and Rangers in Halo 2 use thrusters, they can use something like that for the look.

That is true, elites already have had thruster on their armor in the past so then there should be no reason at all why elites can’t have these abilities.
I saw those abilities on the wiki by the way, some are hardly “Spartan Abilities” because Elites can do the same thing.

Pretty much.
Thrust: elites have had thrusters in the past
Spartan charge: there’s all kinds of ways to dd this for them especially the thrusters
Ground pound: again thrusters
Smart link hover: thrusters
See a theme yet?

Expected Sprint, Spartan Charge and Clamber, they have the strength to do that.

They definitely do. Sprint doesn’t really require strength. But the others would require thrusters which they’ve had before so honestly it is pure laziness for the fact that we don’t have elites.
Again no reason why they shouldn’t add this. Wonder if 343 will ever acknowledge the single biggest, most liked, and longest running thread on thier own site.
A man can dream

They probably won’t, unless we throw bricks through the windows. But that won’t get us very far at all.
The Field Marshall in Reach used something similar at Visegrad, just rushing towards Noble Six (didn’t send Six miles away but that wasn’t full speed either, just enough to push him on the ground) , if the Spartan Charge need full speed from the sprint, it’s possible… if Elites are still bigger than Spartans.

It’s possible either way, elites are definitely stronger than Spartans all it would take is a good bludgeoning…
Is this the most used forum on waypoint? lol i mean 13k replies is a ton

This is the biggest thread on the website. 4 years old and still going strong.
So idk about you guys, but I have the thread followed so that I know when people post here. It’s a good way to keep a discussion going for a little bit.

We’ve been crying for playable elites since before it was even known there wouldn’t be a UNSC air vehicle and those people got what they want.
I haven’t given up. I will always want playable elites but just not on h5. I think they should prioritize fixing MCC and work on h6. I’d prefer them doing this route instead because I don’t want h6 being buggy. Plus when h6 comes out a lot of the community will be going there anyhow. I honestly don’t like the REQ system at all. I’d prefer paying for dlc and getting good maps instead of getting more copied or useless maps. Also it’s not just 343 it is the community as well

If only dreams like that would come true. I’d at least like a non-dodged, polite response from 343 now. We’ve waited too long to get Elites back and with no real response.
I hope 343 add elites back as playable characters in halo 6
