The only new features in Halo 4 that made it different from every other Halo game was Spartan Ops, Armor abilities and a couple new game modes.
Halo 5 needs to do more to set it apart from other Halo Games, I think they need an even bigger team battle mode, like "Huge Team Battle" where it is 16vs16 people and 32vs32, they are going to have dedicated servers so it should be possible. They also need to improve forge, I am sick of forge maps simply being a giant block structure, they need a real map editor where you can change Terrain features, flora, fauna etc.
Things like this really need to be in Halo 5 because I fear this games multiplayer is gonna be like Halo 4 again, I want something different and new like Halo 4 did to set itself apart from other Halo games.
For elites vs spartans they should have some type of dynamic pvp multiplayer campaign where you join the elite or spartan faction. There would be a score kept to show which faction is winning the war and there would be a campaign map showing territory control on the planet, each map would be a territory and the winner would be determined by how many battles were won/lost total after 1 week and after each week the territory control would change based on how many times spartans/elites won on that map (out of all people playing).
