H2A’s Elites have 343’s design and we can still play as them.

You may be right, but that’s not the modern era of design, such as Halo 4 and 5 design. That is an “Anniversary” or a remastered version of a base game. Meaning, it’s not 343’s design, instead a re-textured version of Bungie’s elites.

Misfit misconstrued what you were saying, thinking you were referring to the BLUR Cutscenes, or the Campaign Elites.

I can’t bring myself to search all 800 pages to see if they have ever responded.
Cause if they did, it could’ve risen faith to the community at one point in time!
Nobody has any record of them responding to this forum earlier?
Not confirming anything, just maybe encouraging the topic or something.
Maybe saying what they want for Playable Elites as gamers themselves!
You catch my drift?

The Halo Wars 2 designs for both standards elites and the Shipmaster were really nice.
H2A Elites are a mix of the old designs in a general way, mostly Halo 3 and Halo Reach. Although that only applies to campaign. And this new design is used in Halo Wars 2 as well.
However, oddly enough, that’s not the case for H2A’s Multiplayer.
Elites in H2A’s MP use the Halo 4/5 designs with a highly modified armour from the Halo Reach version of them (standard).
Now, as far as I know, Elites from Halo 4 are different than those from the first Halo trilogy, not just in appearance/design but also in race (same species, different race), which explains why they look so different in Halo 4/5 and Halo Wars 2.
So in future Halo games we should be able to play as any of them. The same way we have three generations of Spartans and he have been able to play as each of them in the saga, with Halo 4 letting us play as both a Spartan II (Campaign) and Spartan IV (MP).
I think the whole reason we probably won’t see them is the fact the covenant are basically dead now. The SOS (Swords of Sanghellios) are pretty much the only elites left, as after the death of Jul there probably wont’ be anymore covenant. Although, a Halo 3 Anniversary would be nice to see.

The SoS are allied with Humans. The UNSC even started a program called the Anvil Initiative that aimed to improve combat relationship between S-IVs and Sangheili. This is Halo Online lore and altho the Elites weren’t playable in it, they definitely were training with Spartans in the lore.
Oh, and there is a LOT more Covenant splinter factions. The Servants of Abiding Truth is a highly influential and popular splinter faction. Then we have what could be an interesting Covenant. In the mission Guardians in Halo 5, at one point Cortana directly speaks to Humanity and all species that composed the Covenant to join her quest for Galactic peace… so to say. Given her power, it’s likely most species will accept it as refusal would only result in extinction followed by them being rebuilt in her image.
Plus, we don’t need a Covenant to have playable Elites. =)

But if you think about it, I go off game lore, not expansive lore. Meaning, that according to me, there’s no covenant, and the only elites left are the SOS. That’s why I proposed Halo 3 Anniversary.

You know, I literally told you that in Halo 5 Cortana is offering or ordering every specie to join her. That way, the Covenant may still be possible in an interesting form.

Ah, but are you sure? Halo 3A could be 343’s redeeming feature.

A Halo 3 Anniversary would not be progressive. Firstly, it’s just entirely unnecessary. Secondly, 343 needs to improve their new games, which they can’t do with yet another anniversary. The Sangheili must be playable in modern games with new innovations.

“According to me” is literally the worst argument I’ve ever heard. ‘Expansive’ lore is still lore.

It’s my opinion. I’m allowed to have one. Regardless of your criticism towards my idea, as I’ve been in this community since 2001, I’d like to see another anniversary. I lost interest in Halo 4, and Halo 5 never re-sparked it either. Sure, I’d love to see elites playable again, but with the path we’re walking right now, with the main focus on the spartans, I doubt 343 is gonna turn their heads to us and give us a saving grace.

You’re basically stating your way is the only way. That is not how things work around here and yes, many people feel a H3A is highly unnecessary.

You do understand an opinion is an opinion. “according to me” or, my OPINION. “I don’t read expansive lore” is a fact about MY OPINION.
