Title says it all. Will we be seeing at all in Firefight? I don't see why they couldn't since Firefight isn't apart of the storyline anyway. What do you think?

Nobody sees...Nobody knows...

BE A HERO!!!

I would defiantly have to agree with you, even though firefight isnt apart of the campaign. The players should have the choice of either elites, St. Johnson, or elite. I hope that you can customize the ODST too.

ummmmm...I'll have the overkill with a side of extermination! and a Dr.Pepper

that would be awesome and u r totally right, it wont mess with the storyline at all so in that case what about the flood?

Well probably not as its using the Halo3's engine and sandbox. There was only a small team involved in creating ODST. They only had enough time to weak the A.I of the enemies let alone Program Elites enemy AI that to the suffisitcatiion (spellcheck D:) of Brutes. Also they would need new animations.

That would be a hell of alot of work just for a survival mode. Yes it would be cool but reality stand as no this will not happen.

Good idea but thats impossible because Bungie have already finished the characters you play as and the gameplay they r just doing the final parts and because elites are equivalent to spartans so it would be unfair to the people who like humans but don't like elites because they wouldn't be able to play as the superhuman Spartans.

I would love to see Elites return in Firefight. IMO they are more challenging than the Brutes.

To play as Elites in firefight would be stupid, you would have to let spartans in if so. Wich would ruin the fun.

It would be pretty cool to start battling elites again, but I have doubts bungie did that. There may be a possibility, but I doubt it.

No....and stop asking you people!

Bungie has said, time and again, that Elites will not be in ODST. Why? Probably because the inclusion of a new adversarial AI character involves a lot more than just spawning the model in game and for what? A cannon breaking repainting of something that works perfectly well as it is? Suffice to say it's not worth it.

Besides, the game is done so even if bungie wanted to do something about the lack of elites I doubt they could at this point.
