Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."
It has to do more with the style of the Brutes and the Elites featured in Halo 3. There's an entire caste of Brutes that were designed to fill the role of the Elites. While there's like 3 types of Elites minus the Arbiter and Shipmaster.
It was easier to create a backstory for why you only face Brutes in ODST instead of trying to revamp the main enemy caste. I would love to verse Elites but Brutes are more unique and bring forth many abilities. Such as destructible armor, species specific AI, Equipment usage, berserk, dialog, etc.
It's unfortunate that Elites wont be the main enemy in ODST but it's next to impossible to make them as such because of the limitations Halo 3 set upon them to make Brutes the main enemy.
