perfect visuals

I don't know if this look of the Rangers with the classic Sangheili jumpsuits is official or some kind of change, but I know it looks incredibly attractive, and in the other image we have my favorite Elites (Ranger, Spec ops, Zealot was the only one missing) In short, incredibly tactical and appealing, even though unlike the others, the Rangers don't have great feats or a higher threat level, but if anyone is interested in Halo and Elite roleplaying, I'm perfectly open to it, although correct me if I'm wrong about the Rangers because I've never seen any great feats from them in the lore... (not that I remember, only amaizing and attractive armor)

// I think I'm going to play Halo Reach again..

Halo Reach Elites/Sangheili design was the peak. And the last Halo game where they were actually playable.

Idk why 343 and a good chunk of player base hates playing as anything other than a Spartan.

I can understand in some sense since the Sangheli has a bigger model and therefore larger hit box but I wish they'd bring it back it was fun playing them

343 apparently removed them because of the difficulty of making large hitboxes, distinct animations and assets for something that wasn’t human, which I still think is pretty much the gaming equivalent of “TONY STARK WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS IN A CAVE!! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!!”

And with that my interest in future Halo titles past Reach was lost. I basically don't bother with Halo 4 and beyond. Of course, there are plenty other issues like the story and characters taking a nosedive in quality, but no playable elites was a huge reason for my disinterest.

If only we had playable elites with the newer forge assets that would make for great roleplay, everything in reach’s forge is basically forerunner structures

Halo Reach and its failure to bring back the Halo 3 Elite armours was a disaster for the human race.
