Did anyone else think that Bungie did a good job on creating a reason that the ODSTs fight only Brutes? The Elites went with Regret, failed on protecting him, and were released from the Covenant. Now there super pissed and wanna burn the Brutes mongrel hides. Meanwhile, the Brutes have been sent to Earth, because at that time they weren't as trustworthy as the Elites. I honestly thought Bungie wasn't gonna give us a reason, only that we have to fight Brutes and to put on our big girl panties.

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher regard those who think alike than those who think differently.

Close, but not quite.

We're fighting Brutes in ODST because it's the army of the Prophet of Truth.
Truth planned the betrayal of the Sangheili. The army brought to earth to uncover the artifact in the desert was made up of Brutes instead of Elites because Truth was putting into motion his plan to oust the Elites.

We fought Elites in New Mombasa in Halo 2 because those were the soldiers of the Prophet of Regret who was not involved in this plot.

That's Regret's flag ship leaving New Mombasa in the trailer showing the ODST dropping to the planet. Truth comes with his army after regret leaves, which is why we fight Brutes in ODST and not Elites.

What happen on Alpha Halo and Operation: FIRST STRIKE was way bigger than Regret dieing. I agree with TheCyberFreak.

I wear big girl panties. And I don't get it. In Halo 2 we fought the elites on earth. So why not fight them in H3 ODST. Don't get me wrong I don't mind the fact that we wont be able to, but It doesn't make sense.

I wish that too!

another reason is that the brutes are already made as enemies in the engine (that's why they have that armor aswell) elites aren't...
