But hey, Thel's elites have an undersuit, and are colored red instead of blue! That works, right? Assumptions like these make me sad. We wouldn't be making assumptions if OUR PORTION (Sangheili) of the community was addressed rather than being given the cold shoulder for 5 years and going, which is not an assumption. Funny, you get a very different viewpoint when you ask the "Brute community" about which species has the most attention paid to it, lol.



Grim I am pretty sure this refers to lack of playable Sangheili. If not then I think people need to appreciate the fact that the Sangheili have been given a ton of attention not just in the lore but also as people. I don't know any other sci fi species having a language that is not space English and having such a complex writing system. Only that is worth respecting. What Vex means is that the lack of playable Sangheili resulted in the near dissolution of the Sangheili community and multiple Sangheili and UNSC clans. And I will agree with you that we have been given far far more care than the Jiralhanae, Unggoy and Kig-Yar communities but the difference is that those communities never flourished yet we went downhill. Downhill in the sense that when the clans collapsed and people started leaving halo many of us just had nobody to play with. I was in a clan that at its peak had about 60 people. When halo 4 came out me and 2 others were the only ones playing halo as the rest just left to play other games. And the Crusading Spirit Fleet was not the only case. The Sovereign guard, Blades of Transcendence and dozens of other clans suffered the same fate. This resulted in clans created just to battle Sangheili clans fragmenting and collapsing too and machinima directors not being able to film as much. And while the MP design team has its reasons for not including Sangheili and other species as playable in MP it had an affect on the community over the course of the last 3 years. Not only did clans collapse but high quality lore based machinima ended with Reach and only Halo 2A and 3 seem to be capable of resurrecting it. Halo 4 will IMO has the best gameplay experience for me personally, cannot do that since there is nothing more than UNSC vs Innies and non halo stories to be told. The reason why Sangheili fans are more vocal and sometimes harsh in their opinions is because they had something taken away from them like how the anti sprint community thinks that halo should never have sprint and complains because it has. Certainly a player model is the least concern for developers when trying to create a great experience which I personally think that halo 5 will be but when a community is built around that model and it collapses there will be complaints, justified or not. The Kig-Yar and the Brute fans don't complain because while they have not gained anything compared to us they did not also lose.
