Removing Elites from Halo is like removing Jelly from a Peanut butter and Jelly Sandwich, the idea of whatever replacing the elites in Multiplayer is fine. But if you take away Elites from Custom Games you will hamper both the Machinima and Elite loving fan community.
Please consider this 343Industries, because if you don’t. It may be small to you, but to the community it is one of the veins in the heart of Halo. From the whole community!
DO NOT DO THIS!!! We beg of you!

Halo 4 has the most pre orders of any game this year…
I agree 100%. There should be Elites in Custom Games at least.
Also, Welcome to the Forums, Have a nice day.
The community that hates Elites in multiplayer (me being one of them since Halo 2) is unfortunately for you larger than community who loves them.
You had your fun for three games, now it’s time for us to finally enjoy enjoy halo without this annoyance like we could in Halo CE.
Nobody cares about machinima these days… Only RvB matters…
Oh and Elites are already out of MP, which includes customs. But there will be a way to play as them. Only REAL machinima people will find that way 
MM sorry No
Custom games yes like really why not …
Although im fine with or without them
And halo will do fine if, the dinosaurs aren’t in the game stop saying that THE GAME IS ABOUT CHIEF AND HIS STORY .
In regard to machinima: One of the most admirable aspects of the machinima community is their ability to adapt and make amazing use of the resources available to them, no matter how grand or limited. If Halo 4 doesn’t have Elites, then Halo machinimators will either stick with previous titles or make due with the new. In the end, while some may suffer from the removal, very few will, and a select few will likely flourish.

Are you kidding? MOST of the Spartan-playing community either likes having them there to shoot at, or doesn’t care, but thinks Elite fans should be supported just like Spartan fans. It’s a VERY small minority, much smaller than the minority that prefers Elites, that wanted them gone.
That and in Halo 2, Elite players suffered a massive DISadvantage, not a very tiny, but probably fixable advantage like they did in Halo 3. So I don’t see how it was an annoyance having enemies out there that were slightly easier to kill. You sound to me like a tryhard who lost one to many games and had to find something to blame. So you would blame the probably ONE Elite player on the enemy team, who may or may not have even done well.
Some (like myself) who have been playing as an Elite since 2004 (2005 for me, but that’s when I first got Halo 2). Some have literally based their ENTIRE HALO EXPERIENCE on the idea that their fictional character is an Elite, and for the first time we WOULD HAVE been able to actually do that more effectively, by customizing our loadouts with Covenant gear, instead of being stuck with ARs, and BRs.
Anyway, it really feels like we got the short end of the stick just because a few people get butthurt about losing games they probably would have lost either way (Proof: Reach. My Reach stats blow my Halo 3 stats out of the water, but apparently I had some godly advantage in Halo 3, that I don’t have in Reach? Lolsure). That’s right, you’re the whiney kids on the playground that made it so we weren’t allowed to bring our gameboys/pogs (90’s kid?) to school anymore because you were jealous you didn’t have your own.
“It took me 6 BR shots to kill that Elite! It must be because he has an advantage! Not because of BR spread, bullet latency, or poor aim!”
“It took me 6 BR shots to kill that Spartan! It must be because of BR spread, bullet latence, or poor aim because he’s not an Elite!”
Sounds silly to me.
yeah they should of been kept in matchmaking as well i think personally. if they needed an excuse why your playing against elites… then its like invasion and spartan ops… your going against them to complete an objective or defend something
Elites still exist in Halo 3 and Reach and the Machinima community is free to use those games for their videos. Just saying…you’re over reacting dude.
This isn’t Halo. It’s Halo 4. Adapt.

Lol yeah like those split jaws would ever be the peanut butter ! I fail to see how this would ruin Machinima… and I hate to say it but this game has been developed for over 3 years… they can’t just bring them back now without re writing most of the game.
> This isn’t Halo. It’s Halo 4. Adapt.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Why? You certainly don’t seem to be adapting…
OT: I don’t think they said Elites wouldn’t be playable in any mode other than Competitive MM. So there is still hope for people who like to play as them!
If they’re NOT in matchmaking it would be pointless using resources to have them playable in custom games it makes no logical sense. Just accept that they won’t feature in Halo4 in a playable form, besides the elite community is extremely small.
I’ll rather have 343 focus on making the core of the game as good as it can be which can be competitive without having to worry about fluff like elites and wasting time making them work.
Oh… wait why should I care about people loving Elites. Damn xenos.
Burn the Grunt. Kill the Elite. Purge the xenos.
Use the Mega thread about that.
click here but note down that this thread was created before we knew that the elites had been removed
> Nobody cares about machinima these days… Only RvB matters…
Even then, RvB isn’t really machinima anymore, given the amount of OTT custom animations Rooster Teeth employs.
