In H2, the Elites are unseated by the Brutes as the protectors of the Profits. In addition, the Arbiter is deceived by the Profits and the Brutes attempt to kill him (he is saved, somehow, by the Gravemind). He is also set to task, by the Gravemind, along side the MC. At which point they become allies of a sort.
I suppose there is a bit of slack, within the story, which would allow for Elites in ODST. However, Bungie said Elites weren't in the game and magazines, like the one sited, frequently make editorial mistakes like this.
