Separatist Elites in Multiplayer

[Gojira]

Since the release of the the comic series Halo: Escalation there has been much discussion regarding the first appearance of the Arbiter since the ending of Halo 3, and his very noticeable aesthetic change in his armor. But this is about what some people might not have noticed, and that is the return of two classic Elite armor sets, Ascetic and Assault.

 

 To the right of Arbiter is an Elite in Ascetic Armor.

And at the far top right of the panel is an Elite in Assault Armor.

The return of these two armor sets tell us several things, these being that other classic armor sets such as Commando, Combat, and Flight may return as usable armor sets in Multiplayer if Elites return as playable character, which would make sense within the War Games Canon as Separatist Elites could train against Spartan IVs if alliances between the UNSC and the Separatists remain intact. Or Separatist allies may utilize these armor sets in Campaign to help distinguish them from the Storm enemies. Another possibility emerges as well, since the Separatist Elites utilize older armor sets, they may still use older weapons such as the Plasma Rifle or Brute weapons, or they may use older vehicles such as the Spectre, the Revenant, or older, more classic versions of current Covenant vehicles.

I really like the idea of bringing Elites and older covenant vehicles back into matchmaking. I think if Halo 5 continues the idea of War Games that was presented in Halo 4, this would be the best course to take. (If Halo 5's plot allows, of course)

I'd say remove the entire story of Multiplayer that they had with Halo 4.

Problems like this wouldn't occur then.
