RAWR!

ok so everyone is kind of confused about how the brutes have there power armor and how the elites are not in the game, so i will clear things up for you all.

ok so some people are saying things like " OMGZ bungie the brutes in halo 2 dont have power armor and in ODST they somehow do! bungie you fail!" well actually the brutes always have power armor. In halo 2 you fight brutes who are under the command of tarturas. In the book contact harvest it states that tarturas wouldnt let his brutes wear power armor because he believed he could train them to be stronger without it, or maybe it was that it was unhonourable! i cant remember but i do remember he wouldnt let them wear power armor. So the brutes in ODST wear power armor because they arnt under the command of re-tarturas.

ok now for why there are no elites. some people say that because ODST is based off of halo 3's engine that biungie didnt have a file that has the elites programmed to be an enemy. and that said program would be expensive. Well i dont think thats true because if you betray a few elites in halo 3 they turn against you and kill you so it couldnt be that hard but whatever. I think that because regret was going to jump to halo he needed his best warriors aboard so he choose the elites over the drones, jackals, grunts, and brutes. Which is why you see a lot of elites in the level delta halo more than any other enemy.
So thats why. i hope i cleared some things up for everyone. you can post what you want. bye!

You could have said this TWICE in the other thread instead of saying it in two threads... I'm pretty sure the other thread was better anyway.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

Bungie gave an explanation as to why there's no Elites. Why don't people accept that explanation from the people who know the story?

Exactly. I'm more inclined to follow what the creators of the series wrote into their books and updates when it comes to background info like this, not fan theories.

52,000 kills in Halo 2 and more legendary playthroughs in CE than you can imagine. I am truly a God.

well the enemies we fight in halo 3 ODST at first are the survivors from regrets army, so thats why they are brutes. so regret took pretty much all the elites and then truth sent his brutes in to do the rest. got it! but the power armor is not a therory that is fact!

Then state your sources. Because the weekly update that is linked above states otherwise. To me it just sounds like you're just deriving conclusions from your own theories or assumptions.

No. Power Armor is not Fallout. Its Starship Troopers (and if you think the movie, i'll be laughing, its the book i mean)
Concept of Power exoskeleton is very spread nowadays.
And Spartans's armor is "Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor"
