Exactly, I’m so dedicated to Elites I write backstories about them. I even have one of my Elite characters in my BIO, an Elite is who I want to be in the Halo universe.
Why can’t 343 just accept the fact that not everyone likes Spartans? I liked Spartans until 343 came around and made them look like this. They were supposed to be so rare that a Marine could go his entire life without even seeing one, now they have over three hundred armor sets that they apparently actually use. Their not special anymore, I liked it better when Master Chief was one of the last ones alive. I was ok with Spartan 3s because they didn’t have very much plot armor and could actually die, unlike Spartan 2s that seemingly survive everything.
They sucked the life out of Spartans for me and now I like Elites even more. I will say though, the Halo Infinite Spartans do look very fine, very fine indeed.
I’ve said it so many times I’m just getting tired, if the hitboxes are all wrong fix them, I’ve given dozens of suggestions of how. If they don’t fix the hitboxes make them Social exclusive so Ranked players will stop complaining. Sure, they don’t have time to do everything, but that’s where updates and seasons come in. They give you time to improve upon your game and add more content.

The thing is, they could easily just use the multiplayer balanced models and hitboxes as the Elites in the campaign. So the only extra work required are attention to detail required to get the models scaled properly, the addition of first person models for hands, and animations for weapons and vehicles Elites normally wouldn’t already interact with in the campaign. Not nearly as much extra work, as going back and making whole new Elite models for a dlc release layer on will take. (It’s not happening, they just said “never say never” because it’s bad PR to flat out tell a community they aren’t getting what they want)
They bothered to add crossplay despite controller versus mouse + keyboard differences, the whole thing could be seen from a thousand miles away but playable Elites are still restricted and as far as we know not part of the future in multiplayer.

They could save resources doing that. Then it would be easier to mod playable Elites in campaign. I just don’t get what 343s beef is with playable Elites…

At this point probably pure laziness/ unwillingness.

They’re too scared to model em because elites have 4 balls and 7 d*cks.
HAHAHAHHHHA “ you tryna bring an armor ability in here boi?”
Fr tho I feel if a helioskrill type armor isn’t making a return then their could be hope since 343 made that armor to try and appease us( even tho it didn’t work).

I still don’t think the Helioskrill looks anything like an Elite.
Helioskrill, Elite. I don’t have anything against the armor, but it doesn’t resemble an Elite in any way at all in my opinion.

I have a strong dislike towards esport my reasoning to much influence to the multiplayer creative directors it holds them back. To much thinking of the “pros” not enough creative fun

Helioskrill’s not supposed to look like a standard elite, it’s arbiter armor adapte to the shape of a human being, it’s not supposed to make you look like an elite, it’s supposed to make you look like a knight/samourai using details of Thel’s original arby set.

I hope 343 pulls armours such as Helioskrill, warrior, recruit, air assault - Do to them what they’ve done to Soldier & Aviator.

I think that Helioskrill has an uncanny resemblance to a cockatoo bird.
Helioskrill, Cockatoo. I always think of a cockatoo every time I see that armor…

Cockatoos are cool birds, and on the picture you took we can actually see the little back fins of the armor have the legendary difficulty logo that the arbiter has on his right pauldron in Halo 2, always made me a little bit sad that detail was removed in Halo 3.

Cockatoos are cool birds. I loved the legendary difficulty logo, I was also sad that it was gone in Halo 3.

Yes, but as far as i know those armors were already made for halo online, they were just ported to MCC.

I hope they add playable elites at some point, but while the Esports community is their priority 1 we will only get something like the helioskrill armor if we are lucky.
Halo Infinite is meant to last at least 10 years, 343 may surprise us one day during that time, but i would not expect them to do the assets for the elites during the first year.
