absolutely, I agree on all those points!

This could explain the Focus Rifle even if it’s a loud Sentinel Beam with a scope to my eyes.

Well, as it would appear, the H2A elites seems to have become the new ‘norm’ for a lack of better words, of 343’s elites.
Personally, the H2A elite design itself, I really like, but I’ve mentioned it since way back in this forum, that I find the H2A elite armour very lacking, especially at their stomach.
I too enjoyed thre H2A Elites. Hopefully that will be the design choice if/when Elties are confirmed playable.
With Halo Infinte lets hope that they heard our voices!

It seems like they’re able to do exponentially more with the game engine of Halo Infinite than with Halo 5: Guardian’s engine, so adding playable Sangheili with incredible customization is extremely viable.
What variation of Elites do you think 343 will use in this game?

Because of their recent acts of largey listening to the community it would be hard to say they will be going with anything other than h2a elites, though a variation of all of them might happen with the new engine they’re making
> 2533274976692027;17490:

Likely the Halo 2 Anniversary phenotype. Tho, I would love to see it using every armor seen in the franchise, since Halo 3 all the way up to Halo Wars 2.
> 2533274976692027;17490:

H2A, 95% sure of that. I and much of the community think that they are some of the best Elites ever designed.

I think I want to see a new design for Elites. A design that combines all the best features from all the Halo games.
I would like the Elite to have the H2A face, the more civilized face, combined with Halo Reach sausage toes, body proportions, and stance. We can keep the Storm armor, though, with major tweaks(add a black undersuit for the arms and make the armor more rugged and scratched like the Elite has seen battles, also get rid of the oversized Foot armor).

There’s a cannon reason as to why the Elites are using the Storm armor. I’m not sure what’s the reason but I think it has to do with the inability to maintain the Covenant tech.
Now as for the Elites themselves, don’t you think it would be better and easier if all phenotype were available instead of having to design a new one?

Well 343 seems to only stick with one design for each game. HW2 has the classic Elites while Halo 4/5 have the mongoloid Elites. Designing a fresh new one with the elements from all the Halo game would be refreshing. After all that is the goal with this new artsyle.

The reason why Halo 5 had the new Elites is because they it was already too far in the development to change them, otherwise the Elites, and surely the Kaidon Thel 'Vadam, would look like the H2A Elites. They’re just the most realistic depiction of Sangheili.

Agreed. I still want to see a new design though.

Ah well, can’t argue with that =)

I felt like their nose area was too big. Honestly, I still prefer H3 Elites over all. They simply look the most alien.
I’ve got a question for everyone, are we moving the thread over to the Halo Infinte forum? Do we want to ask a Mod if that’s okay or do we want to stay here for now?

Good question. I guess we should just wait and see how Infinite-centric the conversation becomes, but I think that atm it’d be a good idea to move.
