If the only argument is that it is training for Spartan 4s then that is ridiculous. Shouldnt Spartans be training against the enemy they fight not other Spartans? That is the laziest excuse to not have added Elites as playable characters, as for the hieght and strength differences they dont need to hunch over the Sangeli just shrink them a little I guess, 343 is a capable team. One of the core groups and some of the most devoted fans is the Elite fans which have been totally just absolutely ****** by Frank O'*********. Halo 4 was god awful and the spartan ops story was just so stupid. Elites deserve to be in Halo as playable characters for because 20-25% of the communty are Elitle fans hope they get this right.
