There aren't any. They told us that a while ago, actually.

Gone with Regret, they left. Also the Brutes were sent by Truth to make sure Earth stays the way it is.

Go Rams and Missouri!

They've stated that there wouldn't be any. This is because after the slipspace rupture of New Mombasa, all the Elites were taken out and Brutes sent in. This is what causes the Great Schism (this is a factor).

I wish I was still legendary.

Within 24 hours, The prophets somehow managed to recall/abandon all elites and replace them with brutes. No idea how, they just did.

But I don't understand. This is the Halo 2 time period. MC fought nothing but Elites.

EDIT: So every single elite left Earth?


All remaining elites got back on thier ship...you don't want to miss your flight and be slip-space-ruptured.

I theorize space magic.


The Prophet of Regret called for a retreat, and that doesn't involve leaving your troops. What he didn't call for -- and therefore isn't responsible for -- is the occupation of the city. The city is being occupied by Brutes that Truth ordered to be there. The explanation was that this is precisely after the point at which Truth actually began to shift the focus from Elites to Brutes.

And it makes sense to me. Perhaps not to the casual viewer. Truth putting the Brutes first was not actually because of Regret's death. It was a political move, and Regret's death was incidental and beneficial.



Want an answer that may satisfy you? It's entirely possible that using the Elites as enemies would be difficult to code into the Halo 3 physics and AI system, since they were always allies in Halo 3. Sound silly? Yes, I'm sure it does. But if you need a reason that bungie hasn't given you, that's the best I can come up with.

I think Bungie mentioned the Brutes being on "Clean-up Duty".
