i have a question, in ODST your main enemys are the brutes but the events in ODST take place 6 hours after the first battle of earth. at this point the elites would still have been the main armed force of the covenant, so why are you fighting brutes?

Same thing I thought, they couldn't have gotten the elites out that quick

They explained that, but I never looked it up. The ones that weren't killed in battle were probably killed by the Slipspace rupture.

Because it was the Elites' day off.

Bungie explained this somewhere, has to do with the Prophet of Truth's political scheme on the schism.

Listen to Bungie's golden rule I heard; "It's a -blam!- video game"

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.

Then how did the Brutes arrive at Earth in less than six hours?

Because the Prophet of Truth sent the Brutes in, one of the first acts of the Elites being replaced by Brutes.

It would have taken alot more than six hours for brutes to arrive at Earth (a week at least).

the brutes and truth were already on their way. regret was known for being impulsive, and left early. he also retreated before Truth and Mercy arrived and left with ALL the Elites. they were only from the one carrier, as it was the only one to make it through. all the elites went back to that carrier and they pulled out.

the brutes then arrived almost immediately after. like with in minutes

when regret left the brutes had already been enroute. regret had impulsively decided to attack with his much smaller force early, as he thought he could then get the glory before truth did. neither anticipated the human precence

I thought I read somewhere that the Elites were preffered over the Brutes, so if the prophets were to go anywhere, they would want the Elites accompanying them and leave the Brutes to do the other not so good jobs (like scouring round New Mombasa looking for survivors). It was not until the Elites 'switched sides' that the prophets promoted the Brutes.

actually truth and mercy perfered the brutes, as in a war between the prophets and the elites it resulted in stalemate, they felt the elites were to powerful. Regret however perfered the elites. and had been the millitary commander for some time. Truth had always had his army made entirely of brutes
