Darklarik Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I sure hope so, otherwise im gonna lose a great deal of interest in the game. It would be insulting to elite fans. Can anyone confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzy_Dan Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 There are many topics discussing on whether Elites will be playable or not but to answer your question they're not in matchmaking. They might be in forge and customs and the possible Elite Ops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Boo Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Yes and no. Elites, because of the way the story Is tied to multiplayer, will not be in matchmaking. However, they will be playable in forge and custom games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not asking for a Halo 3 kind of presence, but like in Halo: Reach, an Elite Slayer gametype wouldent hurt for those wanting to play as there favorite dinosaurs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Boo Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 You don't understand... Halo 4 matchmaking is Spartan IV training. It is a virtual combat system that allows spartans to practice everything with each other, aboard the Infinity . It was not posible to include elites, despite the sadness itll cause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really bummed that they would remove Elites just so tie the multiplayer to the story I think they are losing out on a lot of potential awesomeness (game play wise) just to do this story tie-in that probably wont be elaborated to much and wouldn't have ended up making a big difference if it hadn't been tied to the story. Very Very dissapointed..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Director Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Don't worry, the elites may make a comeback. They may also still be playable in custom games and forge (I haven't heard for sure yet, but Frankie is the one who started the rumor). There may even be an Elite Ops (Frankie started this rumor too lol). They are confirmed to appear in the campaign, so they will still be around. Also, quick question, what's the point in playing a game if you aren't interested in the story at all? Sorry but it just bewilders me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biggles Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Im glad elites aren't in, they're hard to kill and are just annoying, but, as everyone has said, they may make a return in some form to matchmaking, and are in custom games and forge.

BLiX Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I do not think that they will be playable i was reading that they are only using spartans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elites are in campaing, so you better prepare. Im just pissed they arent in Multiplayer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyro Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I really hope they are playable in custom games and in forge mode. I also really hope they do elite ops. That would be pretty epic. Almost as epic as Master Chief, or The Arbiter. Or pie. Ok I need to stop typing everything I think. Anyway, I hope they are in some form of game mode. Otherwise the elite community will get even more pissed off then it already is. So for 343i's sake, I hope they put elites as playable characters somewhere in Halo 4. Well I'm gonna go hide and wait for the after math of the Elite-343i War. Bye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in Halo 3 i played almost as many custom games as i did matchmaking. but in reach custom games where almost non-existant. thats why i want a way to be an elite in matchmaking.

Baby Boo Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Well, it is simply a matter of what you do if you'd like to play as an elite in custom games. You simply just had to select 'Player', then 'Prefered species' and then 'Elite'. Clearly, it was just a matter of laziness, or uncaring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't necessarily tying it into the campaign. They are tying it into the Halo Universe. That means that everything that happens in the multiplayer will be canon, and will influence other Halo games and books. No one would do that in a pathetic way lol that would be ruining their game.

CHRISTPUNCHER18 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Also, quick question, what's the point in playing a game if you aren't interested in the story at all? Sorry but it just bewilders me. I sometimes play games for FUN, like they were INTENDED FOR... I know several people who play games for cheevos (achievements)... I know approximately 25 people who play games to "stay in fashion"... And I know around 12 people who play games to vent their anger. That is 5 reasons, (including your's) and my only reasons are yours and my 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course id play as an elite in custom games, but the thing is WILL their be that many custom games? i remember in Halo 3 i played a million of them, then in reach it like died down and none of my friends ever played it... thats why i wanted just a gametype, like elite slayer or invasion.

BLOOD 0F GANON Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Im pretty sure they will make a game type playable for elites. To many elite fans to completely drop them out of the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadly Just AL Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Im pretty sure they will make a game type playable for elites. To many elite fans to completely drop them out of the series. I hope. I really miss the option of playing as an Elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
