Think about it, the elites weren't trusted at this point and bruits were the loyal dogs. So in fear of the war that did happen between the bruits and elites the elites were kept off earth and only the bruits and grunts were left. Plus the rest of them, hunters and grunts were either to stupid (hunters) or not powerful enough (grunts) to make a difference and especially the hunters who were for a bit on the elites side (or at least while ODST went on) and also few grunts were as well. So to finish I will say this, it took me a long time to realize this and i am a hardcore halo fan so i know the story like the back of my hand lol. Please comment if you think differently or if i cleared things up for you

People, stop trying to rationalize/ explain things in ODST. Bungie's official answer to any inconsistency is "it's a -!BLAM!- game". They ( or M$) are just milking the Halo cash cow, so they're not concerned about whether or not things make sense in relation to the other games.

That's the whole point of the second disc: Bungie never intended ODST to be a full game. It was only going to be an expansion and then M$ was like, [speculation] "-!BLAM!- that! This is a Halo game! It's guaranteed to sell a million copies, we can't charge just $20 or $30! I don't care how short the game is: it's going to be $60!"

So Bungie threw in H3 multiplayer to try and justify the full game price. Oh and a spoonful of sugar called the Reach Beta. [again, speculation]

So buy the game, don't buy the game, whatever. Just don't waste your time trying to make sense of the (many) flaws and inconsistencies.

All I read was "bla". Bungie wants to fix all the plot holes, if they didn't care than they would have just said that it's a video game instead of giving us a calendar explaining it all. Sure, they said that for Johnson but that's because it's part of the non-canon multiplayer. Oh and Bungie did want the game to feel like a full game and not an expansion pack, they threw in Halo 3's multiplayer for those that don't own Halo 3, those that traded it in and miss it, and those that simply didn't buy the maps due to no xbox live or microsoft points. My friend who doesn't play Halo and is going to buy ODST considers it the best deal since the orange box. Trust me, it takes a lot to make him compare it to something like the orange box. Oh and don't get me started on the milking, cause there is none!

I agree with darthnazgul, plus its just fun to try and figure out mysteries and make sense of things because their is sense to be made of plus its an incredible story so sTEALtooth you can blow me if you going to get all pissy about me screwing around

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Simple answer.

Regret trusted his Sangheili guards above anything, Truth did not. He placed a certain value on the Sangheili but chose the Jiralhanae as his personal guard.

In ODST it is Regret's fleet that leaves for Installation 05, a part of Truth's fleet arrives which is why we fight Brutes.

Geez Bungie already gave us an excuse for this being that the change of the guard happens in the 24-ish hours that takes place between the atmospheric slip-space jump and when the Rookie wakes up.

Halo 3: ODST actually takes place about a week or so before the events at Delta Halo.

Brutes are just boring, and unchallenging to fight. Elites are far more interesting, plus, their shields actually recharge, which makes Heroic/Legendary difficulties somewhat challenging.

Pokeh's right, you leave Earth on October the 20th and arrive at Delta Halo on 2nd of November.

All the Elites went with Regret to Delta Halo, right? Correct me if I'm wrong.


You would be correct. I just 2 days ago finished the halo 2 story for the 9th time. :]
