I think the way bungie implemented elites in reach was pretty cool, because they were bigger targets, but had slightly more health to compensate. Would you guys like to see something like thins return in halo 5? At what point does it up set the balence too much(player stat wise)?. Personally, I would love to see something like this out of ranked playlists.
343i already has tried taking this concept further with the inclusion of Tactical Packages/Support Upgrades in Halo 4’s Personal Loadout system. They proved to be a detrimental aspect of Personal Loadouts and Halo gameplay overall, since they were disregarding one of the core aspects of Halo multiplayer: Equal Starts. “Equal” and “identical” may not mean the same thing, but there is a time where a line must be drawn… I (and many others, I believe) feel that this was a step over that line, and so would what you’re suggesting here.
