Do you want multiplayer to be canon? Does it really matter at all?
At first I thought Warzone was UNSC Vs forerunner or vs Covie (The ads back in spring 2015) I was so hyped until i saw the beta. Even the ordance system in H4 was better than h5's power weapon req's.harithavaraj wrote:If it keeps Elites out of multiplayer, so be it. I always hated seeing an Elite in Halo 3 multiplayer, and it always felt like the hit boxes were weird.. I understand the appeal, and certainly I feel Elites are fascinating, but the only way I'd approve of Elites in multiplayer is with a Invasion style incentive.
Give me Elites that have their own set of abilities, or give me a Warzone-esque game mode that has three teams with different factions. 12v12v12, a UNSC team, Covenant team, Forerunner team. But don't just slap an elite skin on a Spartan hitbox, and don't create a completely new hitbox for a competitive game.

As long as it isn't leaking over and actively harming gameplay then it can only benefit those who enjoy the lore. And if you dont, well, it's not harming you either.
What is being excluded for lore reasons? Playable Elites definitely aren't, or else Halo Online wouldn't have had them.Marcos94 wrote:Don't get me wrong guys. I think it's cool to have some backstory to some of the maps we're playing on, or canon/lore in general like that. But when they have to exclude certain things in the game for the sake of the lore, it seems like too much.
I assume you're talking about playable Elites. They were not excluded because of lore reasons. They were excluded for some other reason and their absence from multiplayer in a story point of view was excused with a story answer of the simulations being only Spartans training with other Spartans.Marcos94 wrote:Don't get me wrong guys.
