Seee?! It is and will always be an availability for forge and customs, but for 343 to put all that work and resources in for something that the players aren’t even gonna use in the game? I mean, that’s pretty generous, but no! Not even I want it to turn out like that! And for Dandliest and Sniper, I will say this! Guys, I think we ALLL want them back for customs, for machinimas, for FUUUN man! Thats all weve ever wanted! New style, big, tall, deadly and awesome, you know? That’s established, I’d think they are working on that right now! BUT, Imagine what they are going to think when all of this effort only goes to customs, and left for those who are gonna rush to the forums and say “WE WANT TO PLAY THEM IN MATCHMAKING!” (I’ll probably be one of them haha!), And than everythings gonna heighten for them because they didn’t plan for that you know? So than they are going to come to their own game modes, but than what about the Competitive players!
“I remember when I could play as an elite whenever I -Yoinking!- wanted” Don’t you lie to yourself, I’m sure as Samuel Hell that that’s gonna happen.
That is why I am all in favour of Project-Chocolate-Warthog! You don’t want to hear me explain that again, haha! All I want is for everyone to be happy, because if they get that right, than I am going to be the happiest man in the world! And BUT, this is basically my point, I bet 343, according to most of their new designs are gonna have fun making them playable in the Let-Know that we are probably gonna get their design! And I want their design! Their new Elites are the bomb! But, not everyone likes them!
Let me reiterate! I want us all to be happy!
Anyone got another plan? No seriously, I’m open to ideas, I just have way to much faith for Chocolate Warthog!

I hope they are following that, but the only thing we can do is wait and see.( as well as keep the support for this up, of course.)

Hey also guys, I am sorry! The above post is just me, really, I understand everyone wants them in customs and forge, but don’t take me seriously!
I shouldn’t be demanding for anything passed customs, really , but I can’t help but foresee the sorrow I’d have later, considering that you play matchmaking to rank up, and get points, kill players, and have fun, to have an incentive! Getting CR, or Req points is the biggest incentive ever, I don’t want want Spartans to have a bigger incentive to play than Elites, but I also don’t want Elites to have an alluring incentive to play over Spartans! Size means nothing, and we’ve already had this conversation haven’t we? haha!

Edit: Also for everyone that speaks favour for continuing to support that thread until than, no truer words were ever spoken! I promise that I won’t let it die!

I would love to see your and Chocolate’s plan work, as I said anything else is a bonus. I miss the way it was done in halo 2 and 3, I would kill to have that back. You have a very good compromise laid out in your plan, in my opinion. The problem is getting the naysayers to except it and time.

16027

I have little hopes for this, you’d think they either would’ve already made it happen or said something about it. I just don’t think it will come through

True true TRUE also thank you so much man! ALSO that is all I want man! like, I mean, Our plan is not complicated but its something else, that, instead of, you know, just HAVING Halo 2, 3, reach, 4, and 5’s elites to choose from, how about take iconic features from each and put it into a customization, all the armour would stay the same, but you could have as leathery of black reptilian skin as you want! Something for everyone, and that Naysayer problem is huge, and I’d like to hit them all with one bullet! “Oh we don’t have this? Check again!” kind of thing, haha!

That is justified to have low hopes, but it is again for people like me who have trust in people like Late Night Gaming, who might’ve had an interview with ex-343s and was told of the development, but DIN’T mention Playable Elites there, rather than he did with his Twitter, he told us that they told him that they are working on it because they see the shout from the community. And dude even if that isn’t true, look at this Forum! 800 and 2 pages of sheer, pledging demand! If they haven’t any eyes, they can hear how loud we scream, and really… if they were working on it… I don’t anyone over there would want to spoil the surprise for such a big outcry…
Point is, I have faith in 343 for what they have added according to their listening to the community, BUT… I haven’t the fullest faith in any of their projects, until this iconic feature returns, and since we’ve already discussed that we want it to return probably about 500 pages in! Why not talk as if they are, and what they could to add to suffice every bit of the community that might backlash at the thought of Reach Style Elites, or 3 style elites, or even 2. If they bring it back they are gonna do it right and I know it!
But yes, it coming back is the first priority, hahaha!

Your welcome and dude, that kind of customization is a dream come true and mixing that with the ability to play in any game mode, I full hartedlly support that. What Sniper is proposing would make me happy too though because I am trying to focus on getting playable elites back in general right now. If they use the plan you and Chocolate have created, they not only through in a huge bonus, they have created a gaming heaven for Sangheili fans. (In my opinion.) A game in wich we can be who we want, look the way we want, and do whatever we fliping want.

Exactly. Wear whatever armor we want on whatever skin color that canonically exists for whatever subspecies we want using whatever weapon we want on whatever type of map we want in whatever type of gametype we want.

16032

WE NEED IT, ATLEAST IN CUSTOMS ( not adding elites bcuz it would -Yoink- up halo 5 competetive, no one gives a -Yoink- about your “halo new competetive scene” -Yoink-. Halo 3 was casual and competetive with elites, learn 343

16033

Speaking of armor, Elites, Grunts and Jackals spawn with 2 differents armor in combat evolved, Halo 2 only used one for everyone.

Elites have a different helmet and shoulders pads, but I only saw that variant on a blue or red Elite.

It is true that they would have to be blind to not see the demand, but with no reply and only a rumour that they are working on it, i can understand why alot of people have little hope.

it pains me to say as much as i love this thread, if it was on Reddit 343 would of said something by now, they are much more involved on that side of the community.

Yes Combat Evolved only features two very similar looking armors. Halo 2’s Campaign actually features 5 different Harnesses.

I think there was three actually. The gold zealots had a very sharp look to them. (Slightly different from the shark head one)
Here are pics of the helmets

16037

It’s too bad everything in the classic versions of halo ce and 2 are retconed.

It’s like star wars, there is Disney’s star wars, then there’s everyone elses.

I’m sure if 343 had the chance knowing what they know now they would do what they did with halo 2 anniversary.

Oh yes I forgot about that one, thanks.

I’d glad those armors were retconned, they weren’t really that diverse in design, only in color. Which really didn’t allow for that many ranks among the Sangheili.

16040

Does anyone know who at 343 has the power to make elites happen? I know that I and a few others have talked to Drell Assassin about it, but his job is maps and and I’m not sure if he has any control of elites. If we get the guy to come to this thread, I’m sure many of you could convince him/her.

I never really noticed that armor but Spec Ops and Zealots seem to share the same armor (legs look sharp too) .

Except they belong to special troops, aside from zealots and spec ops combat evolved have 2 different armors for Grunts, Jackals and Elites together.

In Halo 2 there is like two different shades for a blue, red or a spec ops, camo Elites have two colors and it’s hard to tell for a zealot since there is few opportunities to see multiple of them together.

We aren’t talking about armor colors, just simply how many harnesses there were.
