Who makes a thread on the worst halo ever, and no I’m not talking about content-wise, gameplay-wise, making it terrible, but the fan base (Mostly Call of Duty 10 year olds) which are notoriously know for being “tryhards” and “sweaty”. Halo 4 was the first halo in which you couldn’t join a game of BTB or Team Slayer and just chill out and relax, instead you were spammed by BRs and DMRs from an abundance of campers, and the only way to beat those campers was to camp aswell.

Someone who wants to play as an Elite, regardless of the title.
They’ve been a great feature ever since Halo 2; they were unceremoniously dumped by 343 with the release of Halo 4, and again with Halo 5. People who enjoyed that feature are understandably upset. I count myself amongst those who feel slighted.

Yes Elites were a big thing for me aswell especially for ‘Invasion’ in reach (otherwise it probably would have never existed) but Halo 4 is a disgrace why are we still even talking about it?

Well we’re not really talking about Halo 4, we’re talking about wanting playable Elites.
Sure, this thread was intended for 343 to take notice of before Halo 4 came out, but the mods redirect new Elite request threads here to save on forum spam.
Also, I thought Halo 4’s story was fantastic (not so much level design) but yeah, the multiplayer was lackluster.

Really there should of been a Dedicated thread for Playable Elites in H5, but wherever I can support them Dinos I do so. Bring Playable Elites back to the Franchise!

You got some good Ideas there. Ground Pound however not so sure that may need a scrap. Spartan Charge - Shoulder Bash, Rage kind of thing. If you had to kick you would need to stand still whilst doing so.

What if instead of ground pound you get Armor Lock?
No not armor lock, temporary active Camo would be better than that.

Don’t swear on the forums. 
Like I said on a similar post, if the cannon says that the Spartans train together in ‘War-games’, a simulation of the battlefield, why not let Elites train with them?
It was clear in Halo 5, and 3 that many Elites fight along side humans and Spartans, so why not let them train with the Spartans in the ‘War-games’ simulation.
Done. There is your answer to the cannon issue. Let Elites train with Spartans. Simple.
Please do this 343, it would be so cool to play as Elites again.

Well I suppose if 343 done pretty good with H5s multiplayer they can figure out abilities for the Elites, IF they were implemented.

Before H5 came out I decided to read every Halo book, including “Hunters in the Dark”, after reading that book I thought Playable Elites would be in H5 for sure! But no
Good book however.

I would love to see elites in the flood form
I think would be a disadvantage in Arena, I would prefer if was only in Warzone b’coz of the elite size

I would play as a Grunt even with a such speed disadvantage so I don’t care about this.
> 2533274950642546;14257:

No. They must be in Arena too. This is coming from a tryhard.
lol

That wouldn’t make too much sense, not all Sangheili are given Active Camo unless it’s befitting of their rank and/or title

I can understand the issue most people have there. But there are unranked playlists in Arena that aren’t competitive (Even if some people treat it like it’s competitive) that Sangheili could be a part of. Even in ranked playlists, you could just have, like in Reach, sometimes when you get all “Elites” in stuff like Slayer.
