Really, why? Did we forget that they actually were balanced in halo 2 and 3? Worked great! But it seems that people are saying:
“halo 5 won’t have elites because it would be too difficult to incorporate unbalanced elites in multiplayer.” The thing is, by saying that, it’s disregarding the elites in halo 2(a) and 3. They were balanced before, why couldn’t they be balanced again? By saying elites would be “too hard to unbalance in multiplayer” just seems like a scapegoat excuse to disinclude them in the multiplayer. And by saying that, it implies they would be game specific. Is that what we really want? They were able to play in every game type before in the multiplayer. Perfectly fine at that. So I’m tired of hearing they won’t be in because it’d be too difficult to do. They don’t need to be unbalanced. They can be balanced.
Put elites back in. Theyre so funny.
Nothing was better in h3 than watching a staff captain dino try to play halo.

I knew a few dino fifties that would probably wreck you.
but now we have “Spartan abilities” and that changes alot of balancing issues.

You’re avoiding the question, why do they NEED to be unbalanced? It’s a rather simple question at that.

No. It doesn’t. Spartan abilities is just a name. Look up ANVIL Initiative. There is no reason why Elites don’t have access to the same abilities.

Exactly
And if they bring Spartan abilities to Elites, people will cry too

Christ, why do people get so daft when it comes to re-incorporating the sangheili? Is it really that hard to use critical thinking?

No. Might as well cry because Spartans can use Covenant Armor Abilities in Halo Reach.

Actually I would LOVE to see the sangheili back in the mutliplayer
Let’s see…elites certainly can sprint, smart scope no prob, sliding & climbing is fine, but the problem is with ground pound and charge because those use mjolnir thrusters. To balance things out elites should probably have faster walking & sprinting speed as well as more powerful melee…but that would have to show in campaign and it seems complicated

Then why use the Spartan ability excuse to not include them?

Last time I checked Elites have used some form of thruster pack before. Not that hard to balance if you think about it. Just make it work the same as spartans! Also I suggest you do some research into the ANVIL Initiative. Spartans and Elites train side by side in the simulator so they must have access to the same abilities!

huh? I’m not mad! I’m just saying that SPARTAN abilities only work on Spartans because of their armour. I don’t care if they put elites in the game or not. I don’t play as an elite.
It’s not about the abilities. It’s about the size of the Elites and their head placement. Elites are bigger than humans, yet in Halo 2/3 multiplayer the Elites were resized to be the same size as Spartans, making very weird discrepancies. Also, Elites’ head placement is farther forward than humans, meaning its harder to get a headshot from behind.

if I were avoiding the question I wouldn’t have commented! Lol! I’m just giving the obvious answer. SPARTAN abilities work with SPARTAN armour.
and for all we know elites already be balanced and in the game!

Elite rangers use anti-grav eva packs, not sure how that would fit in
You know, why is it that campaign weapons and mechanics CAN’T be different from mp gameplay? If you looked at starcraft 2:heart of the swarm, the campaign mechanics are very different from that of multiplayer, and everything still works out fine
I agree! It’s obvious by this post and many others that there are going to be some angry shoppers if the elites are not in h5 mp.
lol, bonus points if we get to say wort wort wort?
I really want elites back mainly because invasion was an awesome playlist. I get that they are trying to make multiplayer canon, it just sucks that elites had to be taken out in order to achieve this vision of war games.
