Subject: Do you think they should've put Elites as the enemies?

Yes i think the shouldve put elites because those were the enemies at the time not the brutes. The brutes came in after that.

no because bungie said that the rookie wakes up about six hours after he lands and that halo 3 odst is only weeks before halo 3, so i guess that putting the brutes as enemies is just about right for the timeline.

no, that would cause the game to not fit into the timeline, but i did like killing dinos :)

Four shots, four kills, reload, repeat. This is the work of a sniper.

Ofcourse there arent gonna be elites as enemies.... inthis cut scene of halo 2 u can see why....

  • 06.24.2009 7:15 PM PDT

I miss killing Elites.

Halo: Reach will bring it back. I think they want to put as much Brutes in as possible. So when Halo: Reach comes out, and you're killing Elites, you'll feel all pumped and awesome like "Hell yeah! Killing Covenant old-school style!"

Nope. That doesn't happen for another few weeks due to slipspace travel by High Charity and Regret and In Amber Clad.

This is not post halo 2! In ODSTs opening the Covenant cruiser was just then leaving and when the cruiser left new mombasa it was the middle of halo 2.

Oops. My bad.

Or it is because this is not exactly a full game. As you know it was originally known as an expansion pack. That means it uses most of the same assets as the original game. It is also why this game is called Halo 3: ODST instead of Halo: ODST. It is useless to whine or ask for anything else extra in this game as it is content complete, which means that the only thing left is fixing bugs.

the only reason elites arent in the game is that bungie is too god damm lazy to make a new ai and modify the elites model. they just came up with some bull -blam!- excuse so we dont fight em.

thats the TRUE reason why elites arent in ODST. Bungie dosent want to admit it but its true.

Actually it makes a lot of sense why Brutes are the main enemies story wise.
Truth is getting ready to push Elites out of the way and put the Brutes in their place.

It just wouldn't make sense for Truth to send Elites down to secure the portal to the Ark if he is just going to betray them in about two weeks.

  • 06.24.2009 8:16 PM PDT

Story wise- No since this is after the Covenant schism.

My opinion- Yes since Elites were a pretty difficult challenge to kill.

Would be nice to fight against Elites again, but it won't fit story wise.

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

Why Brutes are in New Mombasa: Truth didn't trust the Elites any more, so he didn't want to leave the task of uncovering The Ark up to them. Instead, he let the Brutes handle that job and had all the Elites re-board Truth's carrier.

Why Brutes are wearing armor: These brutes are actually expecting combat, unlike the Brutes in Halo 2. It wouldn't make sense for them to not put their armor on.

Why the Brutes seem to have energy shields in Halo 3: ODST: Your ODST Squad was drugged. They had shrooms in their meals, and as a result saw everything differently.

Yes, but he's comparing it to Halo 2. The Brutes didn't have shielding in Halo 2.

My only deal with Brutes is the fact that they just like to hang back and get shot at. Elites tried to evade your shots/grenades, cover fire, and use cover while trying to advance and kill you. Spec Ops were my favourites because on Legendary, they tore you too shreds.

Plus they just look badass in jet black armor.

the brutes didnt even have shields in halo 3
they had power armor
i think it is the equivilent of the mjolnir armor that sam was killed in makes you stronger and you have armor but no shields.
and ODST takes place in the middle of halo 2 BEFORE regret was killed by master chief
not to mention all covenet in ODST came to earth with regret because truth didnt get there until like a 3-4 days after ODST

Brutes have shields in Halo 3. That's why an overcharged Plasma Pistol shot takes down the armor in 1 hit.

The Snow Leopard's wisdom includes: Understanding one's shadow-side; trusting one's inner-self; agility; strength; the ability to stalk; understanding the power of silence.

if I remember, MC follows the Sangheili to delta halo, so I guess that is why we don't fight them.

  • 06.24.2009 10:36 PM PDT

well being u r on new mombasa we were of course fighting elites while we were there the brutes came a while after this... but yea it would make sense if we fought them but thats up to bungie if they want to follow the timeline
