So 343i did the UNSC a justice, but completely failed on the covenant. Elites looks so terrible its just sad. They went from honorable warriors with bungie, too skinny, terrorist like aliens with 343i. The armor looks just terrible. I have yet to see anyway different class of elites that specify their differences exvept for maybe a zealot, or ranger. But even that they are no different. Their AI behaves the same, armor looks terrible and just not threatening or special. In reach if you saw a general you knew what you were in for. Powerful shields, quick witted, great aim, and you can tell he was a general because of his armor. And dont get me started on the Arbiter’s faction of elites. The fact that they wear storm armor is just sad. Shows the laziness or lack of creativity of 343.
Until their current art team/director leaves or gets replaced, this is what we’ll have. I guess we’ll just have to wait.
I think they’re cool, not as cool as classic, but still cool nonetheless. And please don’t be the guy that goes to calling devs lazy and such, they’ve done some really big stuff.
How were you even able to tell considering Bungie changed the design of the elites, face and armor, with every single game they made? Hunters and jackals look like colonies of dumb worms and stupid birds respectively, yet are quite intelligent creatures. They are of a fair build in Halo 5 and were skinnier in Halo Reach. You are just complaining on that point out of ignorance to make your list look bigger.
Also, just because the community was too incredibly ignorant to realize that the storm armor was used by all Sangheili factions and that the new elite design was simply another of the many phenotypes of elites (see my first sentence) doesn’t mean 343 is not doing the elites justice.
Hell the only reason people are nitpicking so badly is because the elites aren’t playable. Besides that they are going to the elite homeworld, bringing back the Arbiter, showing the elite civil wars onscreen for the first time, and seeing more about their culture in the books.
In addition to all of that you act as though you have played the game’s campaign an know what their AI is going to be. If you’ve played the game I’d love to see.
Well i’ve seen this topic earlier and i think it’s something that 343i is not going to change it at least not in this Halo but what it really bother me it’s the helmet of the Sword of sanghelios because it is equal to the helmet of the faction of jul the remanent covenant and we know that it’s -Yoinking!- ugly at least a change in the helmet of SoS would do the job
The elites look awful lol. I don’t know what they’re thinking.
One of the elites I saw in the game infomer issue looked a lot like a Hive creature from Destiny… we don’t need those flood knock-offs in Halo.

Bungie made the elites looking threating and always stuck with a similar base model. Im not the one backing up bungie trust me, but they made the elites something you could love in the halo community. Something unique with each class bringing something new to the game. And btw calling me ignorant isnt helping your arguement. Its a cop out. Also watch warzone footage and than play halo 4 and tell me they dont behave the exact same way. Stupid as ever. And hold onn you’re telling me the sword of shangellios elites wearing the storm covenant elites armor isnt at least a little bit lazy? The arbiter returning is awesome! But you know why the arbiter was brought in the story on the first play? To give you the point of view of an elite. And people loved that. So understand when i say when i heard the arbiter returning the first thing i thought was playable elites. Dont just cop out and call eveyone who disagrees with you ignorant buddy. Btw i think halo 5 will be -Yoinking!- awesome, im not down playing the game but somethings bug me. I dont just cheer for everything
Although I do miss all the awesome types of armor the elites had based on their rank/class I dont think its a huge issue
I think saying 343i is being lazy is kinda harsh (slightly true) but still harsh…
They still look nice and arent exact copies from Halo 4
It honestly wont take anything away from the game
For all we know, Arbiter and his Elites are only in one Cut-scene in the game :\

Not calling them lazy, definitely not. But just, a little neglectful towards the elites. They dont stand out anymore. To call 343 lazy after them reviving multiplayer in halo, and making hell of excited for campaign would be stupid. Maybe just their art team, idk. But they just handled elites poorly
