No. This game is after Halo 2 but before Halo 3 so the elites were our friends

Not it is not. October 20th is when Regret left. November 3 is when Halo 2 ends. October 20th is the date ODST starts on. Get your facts right.

Bungie already told us -multiple times- why there are Brutes and no Elites.

Actually only once really, but your point still stands.

I suspect Bungie are keeping secrets........ I still think Elites will appear in ODST, as enemies and/or allies, at some point. I just can't think of any reason why they wouldn't add them in.

Wort, wort, wort!

Anyone thinks that they DO have an Elite AI ready? Arbys covie friends, in the level (which names ive obviously forgot like a dummie) where the flood first lands in Halo 3, there are Elites helping you. Cant they shift them to hostile?

I think it would be really cool if there were a shift. At night you fight Brutes, but during the day you fight mostly Elites, with it slowly turning to Brutes as the day missions progress. I know this won't happen, but it would be cool.

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

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.



Or if you actually played the games you would know that THE -blam!- BRUTES TOOK OVER THE POSITIONS OF THE ELITES BY NOW!

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.


The brutes in halo 2 wernt wearing armor because in a video i saw a long time ago Bungie said that they worked on the brutes at the last minute because they forgot them and forgot to put on their special armor and ranks.

You don't know your halo. The prophets already planned a while to get rid of the Elites so they didn't bother putting them in mombasa and put them in delta halo instead.

Actually, you are wrong. They hadn't give the Elites positions to Brutes yet. You all seem to forget about slipspace.

The Elites are only replaced by the Brutes after the MC has fought Regret and Truth used this as an excuse to boot the Elites out. Last time I checked Regret had just left New Mombasa when the Rookie and Friends drop into New Mombasa.

When you assume the roles of Buck, Dutch, Romeo and Mickey it will be when they have initially landed in the city. At this point Regret would have just reached Delta Halo or would still be in slipspace travelling to Delta Halo. Perhaps when the Rookie wakes up Regret is dead and the Brutes have taken over but one thing is sure; it's not clear cut.

Thank you. People seem to think that the moment Regret left is when the Brutes take over.

No, H3:ODST take place just a few weeks after Halo 3, so Brutes are the right enemies. But it will be awesome to fight some Elites specially Elites with swords.

NO IT DOESN'T!

It takes place during (that's in the same time frame kids) as Halo 2!

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Actually it takes about two weeks for them to arrive at Delta Halo.

Not in campaign. It would however, be fun to hear "wort, wort, wort" in firefight.

Sorry, I can't hear them over the sounds of Modern Warfare 3 on my Turtle Beaches.

I think in Fiefight, they should at least appear.

You can argue that they weren't present during ODST's timeline but with the inclusion of Johnson being playable... it can be noncanon. I mean shuffling Brutes and Elties for each wave for example, Brutes would be fought more common than Elites, which would be uncommon/rare to fight. I'd prefer to fight all the species of the Covenant in Firefight.

I also wonder if the Spectre will return for ODST, seeing that the Brute Plasma Rifle returned.

Brutes actually fit in the time line. I would love to fight elites again though.

  • 06.27.2009 2:17 PM PDT

would be cool if you got to a really high wave in firefight and you could summon a elite ally! with energy sword! ......yea right...getting high hopes.

just have them in firefight and ill be ok. maybe a secret enemy?

8 elites charging at you with energy swords againt you and 3 other friends...oh yea. party time

I understand. If Sgt. Johnson is available in Firefight, then I feel that Elites should at least appear as rare enemies that replace the Brutes in certain waves.

The appearance of Brutes to Elites in Firefight should be 3 to 1.
