What if 343 really wanted to give us playable elites and firefight/Spartan ops like we’ve wanted, but due to the agenda and all the leaps and bounds they’re making, they just couldn’t do it? Like, they really wanted to, but they saw all they had to do to make this game perfect, and they were like, “Wow, but do we have time to throw this in?” I know nothing of video game development, but I’m sure adding an extraterrestrial player model with its own physics and hitboxes isn’t very easy, and 343 is probably disappointed that they can’t bring us those things. Same thing with firefight/Spartan ops. Maybe with their already hard work on warzone and other things, especially the new features in campaign, they look at their agenda with a somber look and tell themselves with a sorrowful sigh, “Looks like we can’t do that…”
If they wanted to, they would do it. I can honestly care less what they decide. But then you got the Elite Purists who want them so badly. Some are actually nice and decent then you got the ones that just go about it all the wrong ways

Of course… I mean the times I play MCC I see an Elite once every 20 games… But yet people will cry about not having playable elites.

Weirdly, I play as an Elite in H2 and H2A and yet I’m not bothered about Elites not being there, I’ll simply create a Spartan in Halo 5

Some players are a lot more devout than you my friend.
I’m an Elite in a Spartan’s armor. A Master of Disguise.
When the Warzone simulation is over, I head off with my human buddies to go on special operation joint human and sangheili missions.
I’d love to see them add in Elites later on down the road though, for Warzone at the very very least.
343 is 3x the size of the standard studio. if bungie could pack full reach with features a studio bigger than them should be able to put in playable elites.
they got the character model and animations along with the hitboxes to make it work h3 style. this is them giving the community the finger.

That is what i could imagine, with a new own Mode, for balancing reasons. of course a DLC like that would cost.

Yep people complain and moan about it but Elites as a playable character are not all that popular people try and use the big thread as a measure of population with no real numbers backing up how many people actually care for them, I feel sorry for the people who like to play as them but sadly the real truth is not that many people care which is 343 feel it is an acceptable decision to leave them out. If they were truly important to the franchise and success of the game they would be in but alas they are not.
This whole Elite thing is like the Halo equivalent of species dysphoria. Some of the comments you see are absolutely horrifying. The obsession is real.

Except Reach is using the same original engine from Halo CE days. Halo 5 is on a whole new engine…

Well Humans are boring…playing as an Elite is different in some way.
I would sell my soul for an Sangheili Spin-Off…seriously back in Halo 2 i liked the Arbiter Story line way more than the Chiefs gets cover
If they did their engine correct adding the model should be an incredibly simple process. Someone has to model the character then animate it and add a hit box. And I’m pretty sure they have plenty of models already because of campaign etc
