A passionate Halo fan has reached out to 343 with a lengthy request to add "playable Elites" to Halo Infinite.
Unfortunately, it seems like it won't be happening anytime soon. According to a response from 343's community director, Brian Jarrard, "fundamental issues" remain a priority for the team.
"I applaud your passion and gusto! But I will give it to you straight - We have a lot of fundamental issues to go after. We may eventually get playable Elites but sorry to say it’s not a current priority or actively being worked on right now."
Considering Halo Infinite's strong focus on being able to customise Spartans, it would be interesting to see how 343 would go about implementing Elites in the game.
For anyone left wanting to play as Elites in Halo multiplayer, your best option for now is Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

Ske7ch is the first person to actually be honest and admit Halo has issues on a fundamental level. Didn't even try to shift blame on fans like other 343 employee have.
I guess that's to be expected of someone that's been with Halo as long as he has.
Now if only 343 leadership could be so introspective.
I’ve got to be honest, I still don’t understand where things “went wrong” for Infinite and people started saying it’s a train wreck. I mean, when CoD: Cold War came out, THAT was a train wreck. I feel like, more and more, people are just frustrated with Halo because it’s a symbolic banner and figurehead for Xbox, who hasn’t given big updates on anything all year and thus, neither did Halo, so it took the brunt of the pain in exchange for the silence. Seriously, if Infinite was any other arena shooter, I doubt it would’ve received the same vitriol. I give respect to Ske7ch for embracing fan opinion and working on it, but the level of negativity online for Infinite by its “fans” astounds me.
I think I should be able to choose a brute as well.
