Typical Halo nerd. Move along.

Elites are fighting on Delta Halo. Brutes were sent to Earth to wipe out the rest of Ground Zero and to find the "Key of Osanalon".

Did you see the size of that EMP blast? Anything and everyone in range would have been toast. Elites are on top of the Covenant heirarch, right under prophets. Right now, Brutes are still low on the chain, so they get "clean-up" work. The Covenant need all Elites at Delta Halo, so that's where they are. Why do you think you never fought Brutes until the end of the game? Because they where finally rising higher than Elites.

The whole Osanalon thing didn't really go down until the end of Halo 2 though. by then the Brutes had been on earth for a while.

^ That's the official explanation. It may also have been because the Elite's AI was a little underdeveloped in Halo 3, so to prevent poor or faulty gameplay they just scrapped the Elite enemy entirely and replaced them with Brutes.

Yeah, I know, but that was still a cool trick. But read the post after that, it should explain everything.

I think it has to do with the Elite Honor. In the end of The Cole Protocol the Prophets talk about how the Elite Honor could be an issue. And while most of them are on Delta they were probably removed from earth duty at the point that the Prophets felt the Elites could uprise. Why the Elites were removed from protecting the Profits, The Elites were at a point where they didnt need the Covenent.

Biscuts

any chance of a misunderstanding, like the ODST don't know that elites are allies and just shoot on sight?
