A warrior needs his rest brother. If I don’t rest how will I have the energy to crush skulls under my hoof?
I’m just gonna say this guys, of all the years I’ve been playing Halo, only a small percentage of that time has included me playing as an elite in multiplayer, since I realised how important their inclusion into multiplayer was when they weren’t in Halo 4 I started to miss them even back then, it’s always nice to have the option to play as elites because they are totally awesome, especially the different armour they had in Halo 3 and reach (gonna admit I wasn’t a huge fan of the different armour in h2a but that goes for the Spartans too) so I am totally backing this cause! WE WANT ELITES AND WE WANT THEM NOW!
Also sorry it’s taken me this long to join in with this discussion…

Thats perfectly fine. We just gotta let our voices roar louder and louder till they give in and add them.

> So this is a rant, and I am just confused bout is… the concept art for the Autumn Update for the new arena map is on Sanghelios. It is a Sangheili map. Why do Spartans need to train on a map, on Sanghelios? What it looks like is in Halo 6 we will be on a Halo ring. Shouldn’t they be training on a larger Forerunner environment? It is only a thought.One of the Forge directors confirmed a Phantom in Forge, a Plasma Launcher was seen in Warzone Firefight, and we got Temple Covenant Vehicles.

> Why give us all this Covenant stuff and no Elites. I want them to come back, they were in from Halo 2 - Reach, and when 343 came along boom they’re gone. (They will unbalance the game) Unbalance what part??? All I have heard was they aren’t good for competitive Gameplay. Well, they don’t have to be for competitive! They can be for Social games like they were in Reach most of the time.There are thousands of Halo players who used to play as elites. There is also this Large Sangheili thread with so many comments of people wanting elites back in the game.
>
> I am sorry, but it annoys me to see all the little teases of Sangheili weapons, and now a Sanghelios map! Come on 343, give the fans what they want. You add in a UNSC Air Unit, add Elites in. I know Halo 6 may not come out til 2018 unless you do it next year - but if you remake Halo 3 like you did with Halo CE and Halo 2 then work only on Halo 3 Anniversary, cause I want an actual remake on its own disk. 343, this game is gonna be here for a while before its next story is released.It’s been told that you wanted to add them in, but that isn’t your main priority. How many free updates??? With all new stuff, new gameplay. Add them in. This has just been a rant, and I am just sick of the teasing of new stuff that is all Covenant, and NO elites.
Well, for the Arena map, I can tell you that it’s due to Spartan Companies being stationed on Sanghelios to help the Swords with planetary security until they can regain full strength from the Civil War. However I was under the impression that 343 didn’t want to add Elites at all because of the Pro Team hating them in competitive matches, and how their current models would require more work to adapt into a player avatar.

Hola
Q hace
One other thing, the ANVIL update is down right insulting.

How so? That it took so long for the critical Forge Updates to be implemented?

That, and the update relating to a concept in canon were elites train with spartans.

Exactly. We get all this elite stuff in a canon matchmaking yet no elites. It’s just another 343 -Yoink- slap to the face.

Ah, yes…the Anvil Initiative. I’ve actually heard next to nothing on how that has effected the Universe of the game at all. I’m truly beginning to think that it’s just a backstory implemented to explain how the Spartan Corps got the UNSC-Covenant hybrid REQs.

I have a theory that there’s actually a collection of reasons why we’re not getting the Sangheili avatars.
Mainly because of Microsoft demanding an earlier release and focus on competitive matches for E-Sports, that’s why we got a half-finished game with a lackluster campaign. Whatever 343 had planned for in including the Sangheili and the ANVIL Initiative, it was probably brushed to the side because of their work load and the company still has bad organizational skills. (Just look at the oversaturated REQ system and its terrible menu interface)

Why is it insulting

No actually they aren’t. The Halo 4/5 Sangheili are a different phenotype, not just different skin color.

That’s what 343i had told us, but then moving over to Halo 5, Thel 'Vadam was of the Phenotype which was introduced by 343i. So I believe it is based off the color system once again.

Well in escalation both types of jackals stand next to each other… so…
The whole “different phenotype” thing is just damage control on the part of the guys at 343 who need to make sense of the canon. They didn’t make Elites look different with that idea in mind, they just turned out that way and wanted to explain it. Like how in Halo 4 the previous generic frigates looked completely different, and so the new ones were renamed the Strident-class. Even though this included the Forward Unto Dawn which magically switched ship classes while drifting through space.
