Well, we didn’t manage to get this thread to a thousand pages before the next mainline halo game was announced but with the classic artstyle coming back and how much 343 is listening to the community, I have high hopes our voices will finally be heard brothers!

I’m sure they already have. Let us hope the Sangheili can be in the same place as the Human’s Demons.

Indeed I hope they bring back the different elite ranks in infinite. Would make it more interesting

As well as the classic elite looks
Hey guys, I’m sure nobody remembers me lmao. Anyways, I just wanted to bring it to people’s attention in case they haven’t noticed that the next official Halo title, Halo Infinite has been announced with a teaser trailer showcasing the original beloved art style. Now, me personally, I really hope it applies to the Sangheili as well. There’s been quite a bit of time since Halo 5, and there will be an extra year until Halo Infinite is released. Seeing as how they’ve listened to the art style request, it would be pretty unlikely that the playable Elites request was unheard.
The top requests from the community have been splitscreen, original art style, playable Covenant, dual wielding and of course an interesting campaign. With Arbiter back as a main character alongside his Swords of Sanghelios, Halo Infinite has extremely high potential to implement playable Covenant. Most fans have been dying to play as Elites again (with a lot of the community also asking for Brutes, even Grunts and Jackals), and with the art style back, I think it’s safe to say 343 is ready to give things back.
This should be moved to the Halo: Infinite category.
Yeah, this threads been going since 2012. Wow. Maybe 6 years later we are finally in a position where playable Elites make a comeback. I say move the thread. Keep the dream alive lol.
I dearly hope they’re in halo infinite and every halo onward. They have to know how we feel about this.

We’d like to , but can’t because of its size unfortunately. For now it needs to stay here
Currently, it has 17510 replies. 17511 with this one. By the rings. It’s certainly a sign that people REALLY want playable Elites. Is this the biggest thread?

Some official “off topic” threads put this thread to shame in size.
wow I remember when Xzan made this thread years ago, it’s truly inspiring that his voice is still being heard, we can only hope that Infinite has playable Elites
if not, RIP
If not, keep the pressure on 343 plus more. After all this time, they haven’t seen this thread ever? No way. There really can’t be an excuse for them keeping the feature out of the franchise.

Xzan? Are you referring to Mat Man 412?

Speaking of Mat Man 412, does anybody here have his social media or anything to contact him at all? We need to summon him here in case Elites are brought back.

Perhaps Akio Vuadanee does as he seems to be the only person who’s ever referred to him as Xzan, as far as I know.
All reasons, canon or “slightly larger models”, are absolutely obsolete and always have been. The community wants to play as Elites in multiplayer, this is a fact. It is disrespectful that two Halo games have been released with no playable elites, even though the community has been beyond vocal about them wanting it during all courses of development for TWO different games, spanning now over 6 YEARS. Halo is a fan’s game, and has thrived based on the developers giving the fan what he/she wants, not the opposite. In all honesty, this is my only gripe with 343. I support them as a fan and am excited by their potential for greatness, and don’t believe they deserve some of the flak they are getting, but I have also played this series since its beginning when I was 4 years old. Add playable Elites to Halo Infinite please, or as you know 343, there will be consequences from the community.

This is basically God’s thread.
But in all seriousness I think a new phenotype would be nice to see as well, but I would much prefer it alongside the ones that currently exist already.
And Brutes, I’ve been thinking it over lately and I think Brutes being playable is now even more important, as far as I’m concerned, they are just as important as any species in Halo, but of course, baby steps as I’ve said already, Elites first.

It wouldn’t really be that good as everyone thinks. The Elites were made playable because they’re basically the Spartans of the Covenant. They’re your equal. Brutes are vastly different, as they barely have shielding or none at all, have superior strength and probably wouldn’t fit in any Human vehicles unlike the Elites.
