Subject: Elites?

Anybody hoping to fight Elites in the game? To bring back more of that good old Halo 1 vibe they've been talking about? Technically since in Halo 2 they were crawling all over New Mombasa its pretty hard to believe every one of them made it onto the carrier, the same one encountered at the beginning of the game, with Brutes magically appearing everywhere. If you take into account the months of time it takes to slipspace travel, especially to god-knows-where Delta Halo is in the Universe, I can't imagine the Covenant schism would've happened in just 6 hours and Brutes and Elites would be bitter enemies and Elites would magically be allies with Humans. Thoughts?

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

Edable - Not to be mistaken with Edible, you cannot eat me unless i am in pie form, which only happens once every 371 years

Would i like to fight elites? Yes, in my oppinion they're a much more enjoyable enemy to fight than brutes.

Will we fight elites? No, it's been confirmed by Bungie that there will be no elites in Halo 3: ODST.

Hush. If you’re quiet enough, you can hear it on lips of unborn babes.

Bungie has already stated that we won't be fighting against Elites in ODST. MY guess is that since the Elites were considered higher-up than the Brutes at the time of ODST, the Brutes (the lower class soldiers at the time) would stay behind.

There aren't any Elites in ODST but hopefully they will make a return in Reach.

I remember reading one of the Bungie updates and it was talking about Truth's plan of switching from elites to brutes, and so this was sort of a test run of their success as well as a chance to test the new Brute technology.
Anyways what I'm trying to get at the story has no Brutes in it becuase Truth is trying them out so, that's why you won't see any elites in it.

Ah my bad, somehow I never caught the line saying there wouldn't be any in the game. Sounds to me like they didn't want to take the time to make the Elite AI more developed, since it was probably lackluster given that their appearance in Halo 3 was limited, and they had a smaller amount of time on ODST. No biggie
