Sangheili (Elites) In New Trilogy Matchmaking (Part 1)

With the addition of the Banished into the Halo franchise. Does anyone else believe that we could have Brutes as playable characters along side the elites in Halo 6?

We could, though it may be a big stretch.

As other people have said in regards to making changes to the game. Go Big or don’t do it at all

I wish, trust me, that’d be awesome, but Elites are the first priority, I would like to play as a Brute though, I’d finally be able to screenshot my Brute OCs doing what I want them to do rather than using Gmod or waiting for something in Reach.

About armors, people miss the 2 armors unique to Combat Evolved.

One is randomly generated on common Elites, the other is always used by special units.

I still hope in a comeback for Invasion with a spin on it. It’s the only game-type where I actually want loadouts that I can think of outside of Forge that is (and fixed loadouts, no personalised nonsense like H4 had). However - and this is where the “go big or don’t do it at all comes in play” - with more than just Spartans and Elites with different AAs and weapons.

:black_small_square: I want to see Covis or Banished as: Brutes, Hunters, Jackals/Skirmisher and even Grunts
:black_small_square: On the other side UNSC or ONI with Marines, ODST, SII, SIV and some heavy armor from HW

THINK ABOUT IT! A large scale three phases battle with all the major races Halo has to offer! Tell me this wouldn’t be a system seller. … Okay, REQs could ruin it and there is no way MS Studios would develope such a complex game-type without MTs and moronic burnables attached on it. SIGH! Let me dream!

Still! Since GoW3 did it I thought it would become a standard in other games as well, but it never was the case sadly. Elites in social gametype also never bothered me, but I understand if someone opposes to them in ranked 4v4 and BTB. Personally speaking though I love playing as different roles and races in MP FPS and RPGs.

i really like this idea, and your right theres probably no way this wouldnt have microtransactions for it. i’d like to see traditional invasion along with this though, maybe have the traditional invasion as part of arena and this variant as part of warzone?

I really want this too, this sounds beyond awesome. Throw Prometheans and Flood in there and the game would explode with so much awesome :slight_smile:

Flood Invasion! You beautiful motheryoinker you, that’s an awesome idea!

I also would love to play as a Knight and TP around the map! :smiley:

Better yet, Flood survival, survive waves of flood.

But back onto the topic of Elites, I think we really need to get some sort of 343 response to stimulate our conversation, we need a spark of hope.

I wont comment on the Halo 4 aspect of the thread except that im not opposed to it. I just dont think it will change. Im not even that hopefull it will change for halo 5. So what i would hope for is that it is available for halo 6. And if you can play as elites then i say you go balls to the wall and make brutes available like they did for halo wars 2 and put in something with the flood. Make halo 6 epic to make up for the many disappointments that halo 5 brought. It’s hard to get updates for older games but since halo 6 is a work in process, it’s my belief that thats what should be asked for. So 343, listen to your fan base… we are the ones you have to please. We are the ones who keep you employed. We are the ones who ultimently determine if a game, or in this case, a franchise will continue into the future. Give us playable elites, brutes, and game mode with surviving the flood in Halo 6.

WE WANT ELITES! WE WANT ELITES!

I agree. I played ALOT of MCC over this weekend, about half the games I played were SWAT. Everytime Halo 2, Halo 2 Anniversary, or Halo 3 was voted for, people were playing as Elites. That little advantage of not being killed from behind while playing as an Elite still flourishes. I really think having the option to play as an Elite should still be in multiplayer

It definitely should, I’m so bored of Spartans, the Sangheili are far more interesting as characters, and there really isn’t a reason for them not to be in the games.

I wouldn’t say I’m bored of Spartans but it would be nice to be able to play as Elites again

Agreed, I am not bored of Spartans persay, but I have always like elites way more.

It’s nice to mix things up every now and then. Like how Halo Reach had Elite Slayer where everyone started as their preferred Elite and all the weapons on the map were Covenant

Unfortunately it got voted very few times, for me at least. But yeah, I guess so, but I personally am tired of having to play as Spartans all the time, though I do have many Human characters XD

I could see playable elites in halo 6 to be epic, I love how 343 has the spartans speak to each other in multiplayer when something happens like a sniper kill or your shields go down I could imagine some cool diologue between elites and spartans
Elite sees ally get sniped
“Enemy sniper is skilled, take cover!”

Elite sees ally elite die
“Our brother has fallen hold the line!”
Just simple things like that

And they could always recycle some diologue from the elites in the campaign or warzone although its not the most original idea it could work. If they do make elites playable they shod scale them down in the campaign and multiplayer I highlyy doubt a lot of people would care anyway

But I doubt we will see them in 6 after all 343 wants balance due to esports and they care more about that than their fan’s requests.
