Halo Infinite players beg for playable Elites after “sexy” campaign enemy

Halo Infinite players want 343 to add playable Elites to multiplayer after campaign enemies dazzle with their cool armor designs. 

Halo’s Infinite’s Elites have some of the most visually striking designs in the series, but 343 has managed to dial this up a notch in the campaign. Not only do these veteran warriors come equipped with deadly weapons, but they also have some incredibly flashy combat armor that rivals even the most highly coveted Spartan Armor Cores. 

While Halo Infinite’s multiplayer is currently dominated by Spartan vs Spartan firefights, players want to see the game’s Elite designs in online lobbies. Elites have been a staple enemy type since the first Halo game, but this warrior race has been missing from online action since Halo: Reach.

Halo Infinite’s campaign is filled with a variety of enemy types that players will need to fight through when traveling across Zeta Halo. From waves of comical Grunts to the formidable Brutes and Hunter forces. While each of these alien races brings something different to the battlefield, their designs often pale in comparison to the game’s Elites.

 Players also noted that the different Elite ranks would also make great use of Infinites numerous armor coatings and cores. Quite whether 343 will ever add playable Elites to Halo Infinite remains to be seen, but for now, players can only marvel at their designs in the game’s campaign mode.
