Got the MCC a few days ago and just havnt put it down. Feels so good to play all the games again especially the beautiful Anniversary. Particularly been enjoying the return of playable elites especially the arbiter. I feel this needs to return for halo 5 as it is an integral part of the halo games, especially after seeing the beta footage, imagine how cool it would be to have eiltes being that agile!
I hope, but it doesn’t seem like it.
I sure hope so. I know 343i are doing this canonized MP thing with the Spartan IVs, but it’d be great if we can fit in the Sangheili. Whether it being described as a spartan ‘playing’ as an elite or that elites have access to the holodeck, whatever, let’s get 'em in.
i wish as well
Why? the play and function exactly the same as Spartans. If there’s a mode where both have advantages over the others that makes them play differently, then sure.
What I didn’t understood is that all the abilities fitted on Halo Reach, except for armor lock for some people… Not bringing Elites to the Multiplayer with it’s own arsenal would make infinity war games kind of more boring with less unlockables. In my opinion if we add the Elites it would be more fun.
Yay. I love elites. one of my favorite games in reach was elite slayer. also pleas bring back the needle rifle!

Because elites are awesome, samurai like warriors.

Because i hate feeling like a generic power ranger in space, even if its only aesthetic. If my preffered species is not playable in the next installment across ALL playlists, I may not even buy the game. Its that simple.
Probably depends on if they’re planning to have a playable arbiter in the campaign. If the answer is yes, then you can bet on a playable elite option somewhere in multiplayer (it takes a lot of animation to get a player character to work, more justifiable the more its used in the game). Where that exactly is though is purely up to 343’s interests.

I feel when we play as locke, second players will be arbiter, just a guess.
I think so
Seriously hope so. As the OP mentioned, seeing the Elites in campaign again after so long playing through H2A and playing as the Arbiter, just feels really good. I want to see more of Thel in 5 in particular.

Jetpacking is awesome, too. Does that mean they should put it?

Spartans are generic? this conversation is over.

Why don’t we just remove all forms of customization while we’re at it? I’m sure the community will just love this sense of reasoning.

So you start off with saying that 343 shouldn’t bother with Elites because they have no effect on game play. And then you follow that up with the use of an example of something that was bad because of it’s effect on game play?
The Jet pack shouldn’t be in the game because it has a negative effect on game play. Elites don’t have to have that problem

Kinda unreasonable to just cut someone off because they don’t have the same opinion as you don’t ya think?
.
I doubt it because of the Spartan abilities.
I hope so, but I am unsure.

Spartans are not generic, but i just feel generic when i play as one, just, ever since halo 2, i could never feel right playing as one. And really? Comparing an aesthetic customization optiin to a broken armor ability? What in the world is that kind of logic?
i hope, or play as the arbiter again
ok to add my thoughts to this thread on Elites being in halo 5 ill first start off buy clarifying that no im not starting rumors or confirming anything for halo 5 however these are my thoughts straight up and ill list them as follows
-
if Elites were to return to halo 5 (witch i would love to see) aside from the customization and picking whatever armor you want or playing as a spartan or an elite players will choose to play what they like reguardless (hope that clarifies up the who why people want to play as elites or spartans)
-
with the new spartan ablities aka thrusters, ground pound, charge, slide, sprint, smart scope there would have to be a balance between the elites to state my thoughts on this while spartans have the ablities mentioned above to balance this for halo 5 specificaly Elites would need there own ablities as well my thoughts on this are as follows
. to compare the two Spartans and elites would probly share a majority of the ablities Aka the ablities shared would most likely be
. Thrusters / Jet Pack
. Charge ( i say this because well Elites in General had a powerfull melee attack and as seen in some of the previous Halo Games the Elites would charge the player character)
. agian to even out the playing field Elites and Spartans would probly share the smart scope ablity
- now to state where they would diffrentiate Elites would have some of there own unique key ablities to set them aside from spartans (agian specificaly for halo 5
. Invisiblity / cloaking i say this due to the halo lore and previous games all Elites had cloaking systems / active camflouge built in to there armor systems
. The Ground pound while i dont neccisarily think Elites would have a ground pound ablity i will say they would probly have a ablity simular to or a unique variant of this ablity ( what that ablity would be i do not know as i cant think up of a ablity to replace the ground pound) (probly would most likely be replaced buy the Active Camflouge)
. Slide well due to the shape of the Elites body i dont think they would nessisarily have a slide While they would have a sprint i dont think a slide would but since they would have a sprint im guessing a Increased sprint would be more suited to the Elites aka when they sprint they sprint faster also to replace the slide m guessing they would be given a Increased jump ( meaning when they jump they jump higher then your spartans
well thats my thoughts on the discussions if 343 sees this hopefully theyl take it into consideration
