Just a few days now. I’ll be using all of them one time or another.

I’m beyond hyped. Once I unlock it, for arbiter armor loadout I’ll be using scion helmet and legs, accord body, and whatever arms look the most like they’d fit arby (maybe osoona )

I’ll be using the Artisan armor because it looks awesome. Even the General looks better than most of 343’s armor designs. I have 30 point cubes so I’ll fly straight through!
Wondering if anyone is holding out on the idea 343 lied about Elites not being playable in infinite just to give a big reveal at E3. It would be a very big surprise since they haven’t been playable since Reach. Even the most recent MCC update talks about Spartans and Elites being in training together. If Infinites multiplayer is still a simulation they could be in the game. Or maybe added in later since they have a 10 year plan with Infinite. (Unless they changed that plan.)

I’m going to use a mix of seneschal, keepward, and ossoona honestly.

I’ve been thinking about that.
I hope they either lied or changed their mind. I’m pretty sure we’ll at least get playable elites later. I’ve been playing for a really long time, ever since they were removed from Halo 4, Halo hasn’t been the same for me since as elites were the main thing that attracted to Halo more than a decade ago.

That’s a very easy way of getting yourself disappointed, but damn that gets me wondering myself, wouldn’t that be a great reveal to make after everything eh?
However, what’s more likely is that we won’t get them. Best thing to do is hope they will be added early down the first few updates or so.

I would hope, but honestly don’t think it would make sense. However with the hype surrounding season 7 the have to add them in now at some point.
The lie theory is funny but, from a busyness standpoint they wouldn’t do that, you just don’t prettend your game’s lacking features to later go nah, we actually had it all along syke, but seasons 7 does give me hope that we’ll indeed, have a DLC later down the line, whenever how long after release.

The only reservations I have with them adding elites down the line is their attitude about it in the past, in that I feel like it’ll be a year 2 thing at the earliest. Even with season 7, ik it’s still only mcc and they could still not add elites to infinite. Just not trying to get my hopes up too much.
Also I got 47 points saved up, but I’m tempted to buy the black rine hornet when it comes out too…

Holdup I didn’t think of that. If they put an elite armor set that’s 20 points in the exchange, I hope it’s something cool that they haven’t shown yet. I’d be a lil triggered if they put something like osoona in for 20 points lol.

As much as I wish that could be the case, I don’t think it will be because they could have simply gone with a more neutral response instead of outright telling us there are no playable Elites. Now, there is the possibility that they change their mind, but if this thread is any indication…I fear we won’t be seeing playable Elites in Infinite at launch. And who knows how long it might be before they get added in as DLC or something, if ever…
If the DLC does come out, I have to say I’m not expecting it until they brought all the classic content back in Halo 5 style, so, I’d say we’re looking at something down the at least 5 or 6 years mark, if the game hasn’t died before then, let’s hope it also comes with an Arbiter campaign, we haven’t played as Arby since 2.

Hey, in case you didn’t see it yet, the Black Rhine Hornet is available in the Exchange this week! I can’t see the price since I got it when it appeared before, but I believe it is 3 season points.

Haha yea thanks bro! It’s 3 and I ended up getting it since season 7 didn’t drop yesterday

Not sure, I figured it would be today, but that’s pretty much out the window. My guess is either tomorrow, or the day after.
