Halo Reach had peak Elites along with their own assassination.

343 did it in Halo 2 Anniversary with their Elite redesign. This proves they know how to make playable elites in multiplayer, even with the redesign that makes them look weird and nearly twice the height. Speaking of the elite redesign for Halo 4, the elites in that game have awfully small arms and hands for non-playable characters. It's almost like they were meant to be playable at some point in the game's development before being cut. Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer only pushes this idea forward as the elites and spartans in that game use their Halo 4 designs. (for the most part)

Playable elites should’ve never been taken away from us to begin with.

Yes. I loved playing as the Arbiter in Halo 2. His missions were awesome

Spartans are cool and all, but I miss being able to play as an elite. It felt so different from normal stuff. The addition of playable elites to Halo 2, all the way up to Reach, was what made the Halo franchise really stand out, in my opinion

Not just playable Elites but also playable Brutes

This shouldn't even be a question. HELL YES! They would add cool dynamics to the gameplay. Just imagine if they had the same level of customization of the Infinite Spartans.

Yes. I'd also expand it to a mode where one side can play all the alien races similar to that one gamemode in Gears of War Judgment Day where you can be all the locusts with their own unique abilities while humans defend.

I Believe that Alone. Will bring at least some of the community back. Much of the Clan/roleplay styled community.

For social games, absolutely. For competitive I think it's better everybody's the same.

Should Halo bring back Playable Elites in Multiplayer?
