when i first came to waypoint that happened, and then the mods started telling people to post in this thread… well since the thread was in the halo 4 forums people kept making threads in the halo 5 section until the mods moved the thread to it… you don’t really see as many playable elite threads now

Isn’t there a notice right at the start of this thread telling people this is the main thread?
No I don’t see as many. However I do see a lot of Halo 6 wish lists out there.

More levelling up I guess lol.
Hey I don’t know what the huge fuss is about not having playable elites, but I will offer my two cents:
Canonical my butt. They can just say friendly Sangheili train alongside Spartans on the Infinity. IDK, something like that.

The elites are our identity, we -or at least not I- don’t find the spartans that interesting, as bad -Yoink- as they may be, we -again could be me exlusivly- find the elites a lot more facinating.
Removing the elites is to us what removing spartans would be to you: Having your halo identity compleatly removed and forcefully forgotten, wich is not exactly fun, especialy for people like me, who exlusivly play as an elite, just as people like you might exclusivly play as a spartan.

Uh, no. You know the appropriate thing to do is to report and move on, not to reply that they are in the wrong thread.
Not to detract from the thread topic again; just want to make it clear our position on what to do when you come across a misplaced thread.

I’ll respect that, I’ve been a longtime halo fan but I’ve never cared that much about them in matchmaking. Yes, they are crucial to the campaign, but matchmaking? Eh…

Just as I never cared to play as a spartan, I still stand by the fact that the elites are -ever since halo 2- a staple of halo and should never have been removed.

I respect that.
I’m just wondering though, do you think they will change their hitboxes, or keep them the same as Spartan player models as in previous games? It seems like it could be a little unbalanced if they change the hitboxes, yet it pisses me off when my bullets pass clean through an Elite player model.

Most people who want playable Sangheili back tend to not care about balance too much. However, since many others seem very keen on using balance as an argument against playable Sangheili, a solution that has been offered dozens of times is that we can just put playable Sangheili in everything besides ranked playlists. Simple as that.

On that I can agree upon. As long as they are playable -even if playabilty would be limited-
Though preferebly not as restricted as in reach, where only 2 gamemodes in matchmaking would grant us the playable elites, other than custom games where playable elites were fully acessible, regardless of what gamemode.

Well there should be a tradeoff: elites have bigger hitboxes, however it’s harder to land a headshot from behind with a Magnum, BR, DMR, etc.

Thats why most of us do not wish for elites in ranked playlists, instead keeping them in the casual playlists where people most likely wont realy care, funny enough I could be considered one such person.

It seems like it could be a little unbalanced if they change the hitboxes, yet it pisses me off when my bullets pass clean through an Elite player model.

However, since many others seem very keen on using balance as an argument against playable Sangheili, a solution that has been offered dozens of times is that we can just put playable Sangheili in everything besides ranked playlists. Simple as that.

It is a good idea to keep it limited to social and perhaps warzone, however I see no reason to bring it into ranked.
I see no reason to not bring them into ranked, we are playing with the bigger hitbox.
We are bigger targets and it’s a problem for people who play as Spartans, what ?

Me neither, I may exclusivly play as an elite, but probably for the best to keep the elites in social, I agree.
