Am I the only one here who can see this?
Just take Warzone and make one team a team of elites! Give them the equivalent loadout weapons (carbine instead of BR etc…) and customisation like we have for spartans now (armour, skins, assassinations etc…) and there you go! Warzone is much better now!
What would be even better is if one team already started out with basses to protect (kind of like Warzone assault) but with new maps on elite home worlds.
Keep the req system but just adapt it for elites. Have elites spawn with an original plasma rifle (not the cancer that is the storm rifle) and a plasma pistol instead of pistol and AR for req 1. Have carbines instead of the Br at req 3. Now it gets tricky, maybe have brute plasma rifles at req 4 instead of the smg. Then for req 6 (you know it!) instead of a DMR invent a new covenant weapon that could rival it OR maybe just make a full screen scope for the carbine.
Of course make elites BIG just like in reach and give them stronger shields than spartans so they don’t get perfect killed constantly by the Magnum.
My idea is that both factions can only spawn their own faction’s reqs (fuel rods for elites, rockets for spartans and sniper for spartans, beam rifles for elites etc…)
In some cases it may be a bit unbalanced but remember elites can pick up human reqs from spartans they killed and vice versa.
I Just think that 343 would make a hit with this by giving a nod to all those who miss playing as elites and it would make halo 5 a lot more fun!
No, just no.
And here’s why!
- Elite models are not only harder to headshot, due to hitboxes, but stronger shields would make them more OP than need be -even with larger hitboxes/player sizes
- Covenant weapons (Carbine, PP, ect) are all low tier power weapons, and have full access of them as loadout weapons would make elite players have a distinct advantage over spartans.
- They aren’t going to make a bunch of elite home world warzone maps, we already have so many - and now that the planned updates are over, we won’t get big updates (especially for un-needed maps) Not to mention it would take a LONG time to make them.
- Creating new weapons is pretty difficult, they have to code it, model it, paint it, make variants, and so on. They won’t make a new weapon for loadout weaponry.
- It wouldn’t be unbalanced for the elites, it’d be unbalanced for the Spartans (i know you said vise versa but you obviously think elites will have a disadvantage).
- It wouldn’t be a big hit, in fact it’d be taken with alot of bad taste because of the one-sided matches based on teams.
- Also, because each side can only pick their “race’s” weapons/vehicles, the covenant will have a huge lack of vehicles in comparison to the human vehicles.
Counter me if you’d like.
Well 343 already ruined Halo so I doubt this could make it worse.

Elite stuff goes here. WZA is essentially a stripped down version of invasion.
Or one team can start off as grunts and as your req level goes up, you can be jackals, elites, then a hunter. They could even have the different ranks/variations of each species. That would be awesome.
I would play it, #invasionforlife
They could also make normal Warzone with Elites too so that both Spartans and Elites have to battle for bases!

That sounds amazing! Almost too good to be true! But i doubt 343 have the skill to do that.
