Im not sure why this is your largest concern - but to each his own
And didn’t they say there’s none in H4 - I dont see them changing that atm in time.
Dont get me wrong im all for them in MM / not in Ranked
I just really see 343i going back on what they said …
But none the less good luck

Ending yourself pretty much amounts to collapse.

Already we can only play as Elites in one playlist, what’s your point? You can still like Sangheili and be a group that are held together by a common interest, without needing to play as one. If that’s the extent of your purpose, again, wouldn’t last long.

I have debated the other ones so thuroughly already that i really have no concerns about them. So long as they are implemented right they will be fine.
However, people will still play the game if these changes are not implemented right. The elite community will not. That is the problem.
All i need is conformation that the elites are playable at all.

But I’m not really. I’m only saying the Elites fans obviously want to play Elites and 343 doesn’t need it to make sense because MM doesn’t need to make sense. The whole point of this thread is too say we want Elites in MM! I also wasn’t trying to speak for the community it was just the way it came out in type!

Um we fight the Coives, Flood and new enemy in H4 man its been comfirmed by Game Informer magizine…

flood was confirmed too? i thought we were just fighting Covenant and the new threat
I’m not surprised the Flood would return in Halo 4 they’re still annoying pests.

Out of those options, I’d say Halo 3.
I’m severly disappointed if Elites aren’t in Halo 4’s multiplayer, that and standard Sprint start for everyone severly puts me off buying Halo 4 on launch day. Maybe a rental or after it price drops a year later.
I think that having elites in MM is more important than the story making sense. Since when has MM needed a story?
If 343i is really copying CoD like everyone is saying they are, then they should also copy not having a MM story. That is one thing CoD does well.
Let us take the Mass Effect community’s example. Petition our -Yoink-'s off until Sangheli are returned to multi player (assuming there removed completely) off course were not fighting over for something as game changing as an ending. But that’s all the more reason for 343 to listen to us!
Because were fighting to hold onto something that is a link to Halo game’s of old. Something Halo 4 doesn’t seem to value.

Well if we’re lucky that’s all the quote truly means in its proper interpretation. I’ve noticed Frankie doesn’t always use the clearest wording with his “Forerunner Vision doesn’t let you see players anywhere on the map” quote.
You see, if we take that statement literally by the words proper definitions it wouldn’t show players. Yet why would you add “anywhere on the map” when you were just stating that it doesn’t show players? All things considered the proper interpretation here is probably that Forerunner Vision has a limited range that can’t see everywhere.
So what I’m hoping is that the statement “Competitive Multiplayer focuses upon Spartan IVs. Elites won’t be playable.” actually means “Elites won’t be playable in Competitive Multiplayer but are allowed in the rest”.
Improper or unclear wording is a common human error that unfortunately can lead to a lot of confusion. Hopefully this will be clarified in due time.
I agree that Elites should be playable in 4, but, if you only play Halo for the Elite skins than there is something wrong with you.

That would be Great
My gamertag exhibits my stance on this issue.
I would be incredibly disappointed if they exclude elites from all multiplayer aspects of the game, especially because of how it would affect machinima, it would force people to become more creative, though there would be a massive increase of red vs blue scenarios.
Its a really sad thing if they are excluded from all of multiplayer.
Hey guys check out my topic: http://halo.xbox.com/Forums/yaf_postst73075_Time-to-refresh-the-elite-343.aspx
As Elites look like they’re not gonna be in MM (at least not in competitive) I got an idea that I think most of you would back.
