I’m still confused about the truth of the rumor of the 45 vs 45 invasion game type. It hasn’t necessarily been denied. If this rumor is true it automatically infers that elites/sangheili will be playable. Do you think there will be playable elites?

No there will not be playable elites because, sadness.
They should. It’s a relatively easy ask that would generate hype, something Infinite’s sorely lacking.
It’s a big deal to me, and many other players that the Sangheili are playable. It’s also not unreasonable to ask for. I still have high hopes for it and could see that since Jiralhanae are a large part of the Banished’s forces, they could be implemented and customizable too. Here’s to being hopeful it’s delivered, for all those Covie clan’s sake.
Infinite should have Playable Elites. However, they should only be playable in all Social modes, Customs, and Forge unless 343 makes a Ranked Elite Playlist
I never usually play as an elite in the games where it is available. HOWEVER, I like seeing elites in multiplayer. It makes the games feel unique, and stand out amongst other shooters. I also find that, despite how ridiculous multiplayer can be at times, that it helps with immersion. It’s always cool to see spartans and elites fighting with or against each other. It also provides an avenue for gametypes like invasion. In my opinion, Halo Infinite should lean heavily into that, with the ‘big-new game mode’ taking the best parts from Invasion, Dominion, Firefight, and Warzone. Preferably with Elites on one side, and Spartans on the other, fighting over an objective on a massive map, with a lot of players, and friendly/enemy A.I.
It’s an obvious, and easy choice to please the fans. Yes, some self-important Esports players might complain about how it is ‘unbalanced’ (as if they couldn’t just remove Elites in competitive multiplayer), but Halo shouldn’t be made solely for Esports.
So yes, without a doubt, Elites should return. It’s easy, it’s obvious, fans have been asking for it for about eight years, there are literally no excuses to not do it… yet I don’t think they will. I hope they do. But, with the introduction of armor coatings, the grappleshot (I mean, maybe an elite could use it, but it’d look funny as hell), as well as no information on the multiplayer, and no toys (yeah, that’s where we get our news now) confirming elites in multiplayer, well. I can only think that 343i has decided, once again, that they know better. To the detriment of the player base.
We’ll just have to wait until they start revealing stuff…eventually
I honestly don’t care. I’d be a Spartan, so…of course, that’s just me.

I heard it was the banished instead, this time, but could be also a rumor

That actually sounds cool. Really cool.
Hear me out: playable Promethean Soldiers. 
Playable elites would be nice. I don’t know if you should pay to have the ability to play as an elite though.
The issue is in matchmaking. Elites should be playable in social playlists. There should be specific hardcore playlists that force you to be an elite. (No, elite slayer from reach will not be a hardcore only thing).
Meh, I’ll take it or leave it. Not sure it is worth it for 343 to develop all those assets though (as far as customization). If we we’re getting a Reach level of character customization, then the Elites will need the same level, else players will cry and say that 343 has once again killed Halo.
