Please tell me you did not just say that.

I do agree that we need elites though.

Sadly yes even with all of this proof that we should (( note below is form a thread I made)) 9-10 Bungie, forgot about there own time line with Franky not there to remind them, and by the time they remembered, they came up with some half ass story, that still does not fit there time line.

So, I've see some thread on this, but none of them go back and look at the Halo time line to make a good case as to why we should. ((Even if we do not.))

But there have been things that Bungie has said that make you re-think this.


BRUTE (Jiralhanae)

Massive and ape-like. Many have been observed speaking human languages. Depending on location and MOS they will be encountered in groups up to eight.

They are fearless, vicious opponents and must not be underestimated. Currently, they fill the command role that Elites occupied previously. Whether or not this is indicative of a power shift within the Covenant is of no consequence to the current operation. ANYTHING that seeks to obstruct the successful completion of your mission is a legitimate target.


One if this is the case Bungie you -blam!- up your own time line. . . Good job.

But lets not dwell on such things, surly Bungie would never mess up that bad.

There's this part

Whether or not this is indicative of a power shift within the Covenant is of no consequence to the current operation. ANYTHING that seeks to obstruct the successful completion of your mission is a legitimate target.


I wonder why they would say that ? If your just fighting the Halo 3 sand box of bad guys, why allude to more, after you said there wouldn't be any.


We realize that the Elites are of a fan-favorite, so it's probably wise to set aside your compassion and steel yourself for what is about to come. There are no Elites to fight in Halo 3: ODST.


In all the tread I've looked in no one has looked up, the real time line Halo 3 ODST, is more like Halo 2 ODST with Halo 3 graphics.

Halo 3 ODST does not take place between Halo 2 and 3 like were lead to believe, unless the end is in Halo 3.

The game begins 6 hours after Halo 2's Level 5 Metropolis.

The next level is the Arbiter, were you become the Arbiter.

This happens all happens on October 20th 2552

Delta Halo happens November 2, 2552

12 days latter.


Its not till November that


A) The Master Chief tracks down and kills the Prophet of Regret on Installation 05.
and
B) High Charity arrives at Installation 05. Witnessing the assassination of the Prophet of Regret, the Prophet of Truth replaces the Honor Guard Elites with Brutes. Insulted, the Elite Councilors threaten to resign from the High Council.
C) The Arbiter and Tartarus are sent to retrieve The Index. The Arbiter successfully takes the Index, but Tartarus tries to kill him and takes the Index from him, as he was secretly ordered to do so by the Prophet of Truth.
D)Most of the Elite Councilors are taken to the surface of Installation 05 where they are murdered by the Brutes.
E) Tartarus declares war on the Elites, and the Battle of High Charity begins. Fighting between Elite and Brute forces breaks out all over High Charity. As word spreads, fighting takes place throughout the Fleet, as Elite and Brute controlled ships attack one another.


Now ODST is set on the 20th of October, during the events of Halo 2, in the First Battle of Earth at Mombasa.

12 days before the Great Schism the Covenant civil war.

And even though the game takes place during the events of Halo 2 First Battle of Earth and Battle of Installation 05; all of the character, weapon, and vehicle models were taken from Halo 3, creating an inconsistency within the canon already, sure we like the stuff, but some consistency would be nice, right?

The Brute's have armor, Spike Grenade, Flame Grenade. And we have Mongoose, and Spartan laser, Oh and lose the BR ? ? ? WTF BBQ?

So, in all logic we should be fighting Elites, there fun they were our first, and they go wort wort wort when we kill them, why would Bungie rob us of this as an ODST?

Now what Bungie could be doing, that hole blatantly lying to us that they do.
And when we all kill our first Elite, were filled with joy and say. . . " OH Bungie, I see what you did there."

I mean they said Halo 3 was there last Halo game, look what we have 2 more. Bungie is good a misleading us.

And for you people that say, "OH but its built on Halo 3 and the Elites are our friends the programming can't be changed. . . ."

WHAT? Cant be changed. . . SO your gonna tell me they can take rockets off my Hornet but they cant change an elite? Or Your gonna tell me that they have built a new program for Reach because 100% your gonna kill Elites in Reach

So ether there lying or they don't know there own time line, and by the time they remembered it it was "Oh well -blam!- to late."

If you're in college, why do you talk like an 8 year old.

  • 06.10.2009 1:25 AM PDT

Oh poo

I gotta admit, I thought the brutes were pretty cool when I first played HALO 3 but miss fighting the awesome sleek dinosuars. But then there is also the matter of the sheer coolness of fighting giant gorilas as ordinary, un-spartan soilders.

Why would you want to be an elite in firefight?? Isnt the point of ODST is to be an ODST?

Elites are taller, have shields, and can dual wield. They don't seem to be compatible for firefight.

  • 06.10.2009 1:39 AM PDT

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

1. Elites are the protectors of Prophets
2. Regret retreats - Majority of Elites go with him
3. Truth sends Brutes to Earth. Part of the smart plan
4. The invader Brutes are better equipped than "civilians" on High Charity
5. Master Chief only visited a small part of Mombasa. He could have missed the Mongooses, Lasers, Spectres... Even in H3 he didn't see a Laser until The Covenant.

The only problems are how there are no BRs on openworld New Mombasa, and if there are no bodies (including Elites) and releated junk around. They should atleast put corpses and empty BR skins around.

Yes that's all about storyview. And as long as the Brutes are more like Brutes (Halo2 Brutality + Halo3 pack mentality) I don't mind.

Yes, yes, I see your point, but hunters, brutes dual wielding, brute chieftains with invincibility, Wrath, and ghosts are just fine

I believe it was confirmed that dual weilding is O-U-T, OUT.
It might be the backlash effect. You don't want yourself tripping in the battlefield and getting your helmet slammed in with a gravity hammer, now do you?

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

Forklifts never die, they are just missing in action.

Community Reviewer, Honoured Reviewer
When I googled Harold Ryan it came up with a car dealers name and when I clicked on an ad saying they could get rid of my tickets (OMG Click it Or Ticket!) it said only $500. If you take $500 from $500 you get $0 and if you add $8 to that and then take away $1 you get $7! Coincidence or not?

Reading that made me die a little bit inside.

There seems to be a lot of contrasting views from Bungie on certain subjects:

Elites and the Master Chief specifically.

I was watching one of the Inside Xbox videos, and there was a segment where Joe Staten was asked if we'll see the Chief, and his reply was something along the lines of 'Well, I can't tell you anything about that, but there's going to be a lot of surprises in the game.'

My only logical explanation would be an opening cutscene with the Chief, or if he'll be a playable character, or even a Reinforcement character in Firefight. Heh, imagine having the Chief running around as an AI...sweeet.

As far as Elites go, if they're getting Johnson as a playable character, I don't see why Elites might not make a showing.
