WOOO
I GLORIFY MY KIN!
The Darkstar sword was commissioned by the Sangheili known as Mac’e Winduumee. Apparently, he wanted to be able to find himself when watching footage of battles he participated in.
This was clever
Hahahaha, brilliant reference!
That's a great reference. That's also a very smart idea.
For some reason the handle has BMF historians to this day don’t know what that means
Take my like.
The lore behind the yellow energy sword.
Thel vadaam left it out in the sun too long
@@AxxLAfriku I am having a stoke reading your comment
@@AxxLAfriku when you read this comment aloud...
SLIPSPACE RUPTURE DETECTED.
Great, you broke reality.
@@AxxLAfriku Did you just like your own comment? Gross, screw off. This is a Halo video, you have no power here. Go somewhere else. I would also, like for you to stop essentially self-promoting.
@@MyName-qv3eg i died (not figuratively but literally)
@@MyName-qv3eg his entire channel is a stroke. Dont interact with him though, its only fuels him.
We need a “III” season that adds SPI armor and other things from normal Spartan III’s
Yes, please!
You know what I wonder? Why wasn't SPI armor mass produced? It could be worn by normal people unlike Mjlonir, and it was way cheaper. There were even prototypes that had energy shields. It just doesn't make sense why it wasn't at least issued to infantry post war.
yes pls
@@NobleS1236 That makes a lot of sense. Maybe it was cheaper than MJOLNIR, but still expensive as hell. That's my theory why Marines still just use their BDUs.
Probably just too expensive I remember Veda Lopez was issued SPI armour despite not being a Spartan
Finally, some elite love from 343! I’ve noticed that several are elite armor that they wear in halo 4 and 5 to. Then some new stuff
i didn’t even know energy swords had lore lol
*cough cough*
Red Silent Shadow sword.
*cough cough*
that’s badass
Also the swords are trapped gas which is why you hear the sizzle kind of noise
Yeah especially the old burn blades,
Big hunks of similar shaped stone and metal that super-heated to carve through anything
I mean, obviously? The swords themselves are only wielded by a certain bunch soooo
The fact that we're getting Energy Sword cosmetic skins for _Halo 3_ of all things is a fact I will never not scream like an overjoyed schoolgirl about.
To think less than 5 years ago a Halo 3 multiplayer mod was shutdown by Xbox to try to prove "tHiS GaMe iS BesT On xBOx"
@@dropkickpherby6994 what that mod was about?
@@civicrider5556 it was halo online aka eldewrito.
@@AfterAllWeAreHuman It was shut down, because Microsoft struck a deal with the creators of Halo Online to help them get MCC ported to PC, and their designs and such to come along too once it's good to go.
@Apollo [SFM] I figured as much. I'm fine with it. The mods and content in mcc is good. Perhaps the best.
Its good to have a development team that's become so committed to keeping these classics feeling fresh
Can’t wait! Last time I was this early the precursors were seeding the galaxy with life!
Hopefully reach gets this kind of customisation.
Yeah never thought halo 3 would gain more customization then reach
Even just the ability to mix and match elite armor pieces would make elites 10x more customizable
Hopefully
@@thecourier7964 yeah that would be badass, maybe adding halo 3 minor helm, and arbiter helm would be possible too, tho I think the colorful energy swords are a bad idea and should probably just be different hilts or somn
I’ve never been an Elite player, but when I was a kid my brother always played as one on Halo 2. I have nothing but respect for the community who plays as elites, and I hope you all get the option when Infinite rolls around.
Still hoping to this day
I think it would be funny if the Lance of Suban itself just explodes on use.
If you hit something 7 times it explodes
Energy cutless 👀
It would be a cool detail if it does sort of explode upon strike
@@BanishedSilentShadow3318 that would be an energy cutlass used by Kig-Yar
New elite armors are always interesting, and these look really cool
The Accord Elite suit is definately my favorite. I wish we could have seen these armors on Elites in Halo 3. Maybe that could be possible through a mod?
I would like to see anvil initiative Like "Full send" on their human designed Sangheili armor.
Full coverage armor, Colored techsuit, sealed EVA capability, and boots covering the hooves.
The Accord armor is parade armor. It's meant to be provocative and to inspire humans. -For civilians to see an Elite in that armor, and think: "These are our saviors." "They are beautiful, elegant, and Regal" "They are Akin to demigods."
But this armor ahile very lovely, is not Spartan armor for Elites like it's inverse helioskrill sister, abd i'd like to see something like that in the future.
I love the idea of a female elite being like, "Actually, ya know what? i dont want to get married. Y'all just fight while I sit in my castle. Imma go read or something, *maybe* I'll marry the last one standing when I get back."
"Or screw some human."
@@cheefqueef6494 man of culture
@@cheefqueef6494 Definitely man of culture.
@@cheefqueef6494 Ah a fellow man of culture I see.
Sounds like a Female that’s worth the fight ✊
I just noticed. Season, 7 years of waiting, how many armors are there?
7, Bungie's favorite number.
Very poetic when you think about it...
7 is also God’s oerfect number in the Bible
@@ThelVadam7777 And a whole bunch of stuff in Halo are named after things in the Bible
@@buklau837 ikr? I think it is pretty cool. Bungie is poggers
So now I know where I'm spending all those MCC purchase points
BY THE FORERUNNERS WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH SANGHEILI FORTUNES
Yessss
They are giving Halo 3 a lot of love on MCC, almost like its the most popular game.
Hmmm...
Who'd a thunk?
Hate to be that H3 fanboy but it really is the most timeless and best of the games in multiplayer at the very least. It was the start of MLG getting big and it requires a distinctive “Halo” skill set to be good at that makes it a unique FPS. I appreciate what they tried to do in H5 Mp but i hope infinite tries to stick to those Halo qualities that make H3 such a dominant game in the series.
Slam dunk
Tree trunk
@@lukaku2095 yeah, 3 is the pinnacle of the halo formula. reach can be close in the right game mode. if we aren't getting a anniversary edition for 3 id settle for a definitive edition, polish up the textures especially the faces and thats it.
I'm so excited! I love playing as Elites more than Spartans. For the Covenant!
same
Nah for sanghelios
Seneschal is pretty much General 2 in terms of design aesthetic. Probably my favorite of the new set.
Do you think we could see the Swords of Sanghelios wear something like the Artisan harness in Infinite?
I'd love to see that connection in Infinite, but it's very unlikely to happen.
These new armors from halo online have a lot of the 343 reclaimer era design language in them, and the overwhelmingly loud response from fans after halo 5 was to switch back to a more classic art style.
So while it would be cool, I have a feeling 343 are too afraid to upset the fans halo Infinite.
@@jackcolson4745 Yeah...honestly, I am really dissapointed that 343 seems to be overcompensating to the criticim. Its what Destiny players call 'Pulling a Bungie'.
"We have heard your criticism regarding the Elite armor designs. As a result, Elite armor in Halo Infinite will be overly-simplistic like in Combat Evolved! You are welcome!"
My favorite Elite armor designs was Halo Reach. They had the classic Elite body-frame, but a lot of awesome details that shined through with the new graphics. Missed opportunity here for Halo Infinite.
@@jakespacepiratee3740
Gonna be honest, my favorite looking elite design was halo 4's, but I prefer the way the original trilogy elites behaved. They acted more civilized and noble than what 343 portrayed in their games.
But I don't think the overcompensation isn't 343's fault, it's the fans. Too many people just yelled "bring back classic halo" with no recognition of what 343 actually did right with their games. So as a result, we're getting exactly what we complained for; a total revert to classic halo.
@@jackcolson4745 thank god they arent also trying to shoehorn away the created uprising story as well.
@@jakespacepiratee3740 the created uprising could have been interesting if executed right
Can we just appreciate how good these 343 designs look? Makes me very excited for Infinite
They weren’t made by 343, it was Sabre
@@vincethebanana I think It was 343 that did the artstyle and saber that ported h3 to online or something
@@vincethebanana still their designs, Sabre obviously was the main developer but 343 is the one who tells what kind of designs they want, and the one who has the final word on the designs, so the credit still belongs to them
yup, way better than the bungie's designs (no i really mean it, their designs were pretty bland in my view)
@@civicrider5556 I agree I mean bungie is cool and all but in my opinion as a newcomer to the halo games i think in my opinion (which has the advantage of not being affected by nostalgia) I can say that the only games which actually had a story were Halo 2 Anniversary and Halo 4 , Halo 3 was insanely watered down beyond at the very least my thoughts on how the game would have been After completing Halo 2A I was ready for Halo3 Thinking there would be massive battles major plotlines and great environments seeing how good the game was received in 2007 but then all the lost potential Halo 3 had (more than the present campaign which i do like tbh) but yup Halo 3 was a let down in my opinion to the OG trilogy Halo 2 A was better in almost every aspect but as this is just my opinion and I don't want to offend anyone and I respect everybody else opinions Tanks and have a nice day.
I love the Sangheili, it's great to see them FINALLY be giving some love. Definitely gonna have to jump in for season 7
Also some news. The Mk V, Ricochet, Prefect, and ODST armor all got added to Halo 4 along with armor effects also.
Yes
The only thing that could make this season better is updated Reach elite customization, to put it more in line with Halo 3.
Speaking of Reach, the armor after the General set clearly takes inspiration from the Reach General armor. So cool
@@omarm4225 Yes, that was said in the video
They are actually going to do this eventually and let us do piece by piece customization they mentioned it in a waypoint post a while back, this season would have been a good opportunity
@@tobenamed9424 ultra helmet and everything else field Marshall thats how mine is going to look
there was honor in our covenant once, and there shall be again
Amen amen. For sanghelieos
Now that there are red energy swords, I’m going to make a silent shadow elite as soon as S7 drops.
but elite blood isn't red lol
you aren't the only one i was thinking the same thing lmao
@@redmist6630 Yeah but ours is, and I bet they were trying to intimidate us at the sight of it, not intimidate themselves while using it
Pseudo-silent shadow armor:
Flight Helmet
Ascetic shoulders
Seneschal arms
Default/Artisan Legs
I love how you put the face guard from RuneScape lmao hell yeah ❤️
Imagine the cool shit that can be added to custom campaign missions with these armors. Fighting against Elites with with them would be amazing.
Been a elite since halo 2. Always has played as one. I have never been so excited for a halo update in so many years. I AM PUMPED FOR THIS!! I am grinding for points now so I will be ready when the update comes out!!! The hype is real!!
I dig that 343i is making an effort to blend new artstyle with the old one as well, so they have some form of synergy.
2:20 yes! I literally said this elite helmet is like a helm of neitiznot! I love that the face guard appeared here
finally love for the elites WORT WORT WORT !!!
After diving deep into Warhammer 40k lore it's nice and refreshing to return to some Halo lore. Amazing video.
"These armors suit you, but it cannot hide the hype."
"Nothing ever will."
"You are a player. The will of Halo. And these are my elites. Their lives matter to me yours does not."
"That makes two of us."
"Hm."
excellent video dude! i love the work you put in to explaining the lore. it's the little things that make a franchise come to life :)
Great video! I absolutely love all the new elite armors, especially the Keepward.
I don't know if it's restricted to Halo 3's art style, but this armor is PERFECT for Elites in Halo Infinite!
Not just playable elites either. Seeing these in the campaign would be I C O N I C.
Oh my god I absolutely fucking LOVE lore behind armor and weapons. It’s like you’re representing whatever it is you choose to use. Waaaay better and more deep than just picking armor that looks best.
Ngl, I was worried first but the more this video goes on, the more I'm getting excited. The armors look good and the lore is very deep and actually makes sense. Not only that, some of it is actually dope too. Good work on the vid mate, nice execution.
Wooo new elite armor and hiddenxperia uploading about them is this the best day ever
Hoping to see some more content of elite lore. Love the past videos but it's been a while. Love the content, keep it up!
I play MCC all the time and I’m so happy it’s happening! Halo 3 is my favorite and my favorite armor is the Honor Guard as I always thought how cool it would be to be one!
"For the first time ever, Energy Swords are getting skins"
Halo 2 Anniversary & Halo 5: ...
Skins that you can pick. Not infection specifically. And what about Halo 4's? 😂
@@D00MMAST3R Tbf, you can choose whichever sword in either version's infection. Plus, Halo 5 has all the req energy swords that are reskinned
these aren't skins they are weapon variants
I love this video! Can’t wait to see them on the battlefield! Keep up the good work Hidden!
I have played an Elite since Halo 2. I was a kid when we got the game. My older brother was customizing my character.
He asked if I wanted to play the Cyborg or the Alien.
I chose the alien.
What color?
That was easy. I chose gold.
When Halo 4 came out, and stripped me of my playable Elite, as well as of my Plasma Rifle, it made my departure from Halo easier.
When Halo 5 didn't have split screen, I was done.
keep up the good work, love you man
Still waiting for Halo 2 to get even a little bit of love.
Yes
Agreed.
I really think Halo 2 and Halo 2A needs love.
Hell I kinda want them to also give Halo 4 just a lil bit more love by adding new undersuits and totally new armor like they've done to Halo 3 and Reach.
I just hope we get more Halo 2 and 4 content in the future :)
@@countersphere2924 Halo 4s missing DLC armor was in the new seasons flight.
A H2A Season is our only hope 😔
@@donnysheldon5835 also Reach Armor effects has been added to H4
Their undersuits got a heck of an upgrade, too.
NEW SWORDS? I MISSED THAT PART
Thankyou HiddenXperia you make my day with Halo Lore Videos
I was waitin for this video when I first saw the armour for the elites and I wasn’t disappointed
Wow! Now the red energy swords in your intro will also be part of your gameplay that's super cool
I wonder if elite folklore has an equivalent of draugrs.
We dont know much about pre covenant sangehilli mythology. It would be bad ass if they did
Man seeing Thel in a Mjolnir Mark VI suit would be amazing!
JUST WHAT I EXPECTED FROM YOU SENPAI!!!!!! AWESOME WORK
Damn, I wanted new Elite armour for so long, and 343i finally gave us some new ones. I'm finally gonna be happy with my elite's design, and I can't believe it!
I can feel your hype before i even watched the video
Great video as always
Out of all the new Elite armor my choice would be the Ossoona hands down. I love the sleekness of it along with the green undertones. As for blades I’d use the Darkstar and Bloodblade interchangeably. For the OG elite armor I absolutely love the combat elite armor.
Amazing video!
I cannot believe I've never thought to ask this; are there any stories of an Elite undergoing the Spartan enhancements as a result of the alliance between humans and sangheli?
If it was any, that Elite would be see as a dishonorable one, Elites have a honor code that makes them dislike even consider the use of Jackals shields, so Spartan enhancements would be seen as a very dishonorable thing to use for them, but ngl that sounds like a pretty cool idea for a history in Halo
@@wolfdragox5563 Dislike the use of personal plasma shield gauntlets but still use personal plasma shield generators
@@buklau837 yeah ik it’s kinda contradictory but that’s how Elites work, they talk a lot about honor but have no problem with kill someone using camouflage making their victims unable to have a fair fight, it’s silly, but again that’s how it works for them
@@wolfdragox5563 I also feel like a lot of things in the Sangheli culture may have changed after the great schism; like maybe it would have been dishonorable for the last thousand years but after they turned their backs on the Covenant they may have become more open to human technology and tactics.
@@wolfdragox5563 H O W E V E R, now that a majority of the Galaxy has been taken over by the Banished, its totally possible that many Elites become dissilusioned with their culture and begin to favor the Brutes more pragmatic approach to situations, and as a result, modified Elites could now totally be a thing. We have already seen this with the Banished Silent Shadow being a Cyborg.
I cannot wait for this season to drop! I made a pretty awesome looking Silent Shadow elite in the Insider flight
Would like to thank HiddenXperia for making Iconic content in time for my midnight snack, thanks mate!
Yes, lorrrrre, give me morrrrre...
Love these videos! Soaking anything Halo up while we all wait for Halo Infinite.
The sangheili will always be my favorite faction from Halo and I love the lore behind their armor, ranks and weapons. I play as an sangheili more I do as a spartan
Luv the video keep up the good work
ayeee love that you used a Neitiznot Faceguard from from old school runescape
Notification squad, lesgooooo! Love the content bro, after years and years, content is still great! Good stuff!
@2:22 OSRS and MCC is about all I play. I was thinking the same thing when I seen the wings on the top.
I love how right you are in the outro.
Hope you make a video on the new soundtrack snippets that Owl showed off, the 2nd to last one sounds like an epic boss fight theme.
These all look so good!
Yos the old elite design is coming back! :)
I have been waiting for this, and received it the day after I wanted it 😂
Nice video!
I encountered an Elite Minor wielding an energy sword yesterday on the level Delta Halo when I was playing H2 Anniversary on the MCC.
That osrs reference came out of nowhere. Love it!
Everytime I watch Hidden, my love and passion for Halo gets reignited. I love this channel so much.
I hope after this update, 343 realise how much people want playable Elites in Infinite and eventually add them in a future update. Spartans look incredible in Infinite so I'd love to see how playable Elites would look.
I new this video was coming once I heard their was new elite armour coming
Had a double take when you put the Neitiznot faceguard from old school runescape up, unexpected crossover
These look pretty cool
Now all we need is custom Elite voices for like firefight or something. Always loved the voice acting for the Sanghelli
I’m definitely going to be grinding through season 7
Your videos are awesome
I love how halo 3 is all of a sudden getting new content, it’s so weird but great, and a good amount of the armor is actually amazing. I do hope next season they branch out from halo 3, however. I’d love to see them try to take another stab at Halo 2 anniversary multiplayer. The original anniversary multiplayer obviously sucks but I still hole out hope it gets an update. More armor, more maps, etc
I now appreciate the new elite armor design a lot more because of this video. Especially the neon green glowing armor. That one is sweet.
I can't get over how great the Accord Elite looks brandishing UNSC weapons.
Badass chick Sangheili are pretty rad. I hope we get the energy lance like the one Tul 'Juran uses as a usable weapon one day. It's just sick looking.
Kig-yar pirates use a similar cutlass to that of the Suban sword. The shard of blamite is known to explode when inside an enemy, I'd imagine this sangheili blade does something similar.
When is that elite warlord fig coming out
Hopefully soon we can also get more customization for the reach elites too
I did not expect an OSRS reference in a Halo video about elite armors
at 9:17 you can see the back part of the plasma sword go into basically just above his wrist
I really enjoy the look of these armors. They fit halo 3 more then the spartan armor they added
That seneschal armor is... chef's kiss perfect
My god this is so dope!
I'd like to think that the Blood of Suban has a sort of microsupercombine on impact. Not quite to the same scale of a Needler or any other Blamite weapon, but it adds just a little more impact and sheer kinetic energy to the blade's strike.
