Someone came up with the idea that the hulking character on the left is actually wearing one of the earlier MJOLNIR variants, which were generator-powered exo-skeletons. However, we've never really had any information on said generators, whether they're miniscule enough to be carried or are large structures that constrict an attached exo-skeleton to the general area, so it could easily be wrong. I like the idea of it, though.
To be honest, I don't think it is an Elite, but since we don't have a good enough image, we can't really tell, since the left leg looks relative straight toward our point of view, eliminating any possibility of identifying a second "knee joint", and the right leg overlaps the shadow of some other object, which could also mask a second "knee joint".
We'll have to just wait for more information as it arrives. This is true, however I have speculation the Sniper is a ODST as the helmet differs from the Mark V, that the others appear to be wearing, I noticed this when I saw the Sun blockers of the Mark V helmets. The leggings and stance of the Girl beside the sniper suggests an earlier model of the scout armour and Combat knife. The Male in the Center (Stance suggests this) is the Spartan who spoke during the video. Lastly the the Two people I have yet to mentioned appear to be a Marine, due to the lack of armour and helmet, and a Mark IV Version of the suits... If it was an elite he would fight them and REFUSE to hold a Chaingun, as we see during the books.
