Subject: Elites in ODST confirmed!?!?!?!

Bungie confirmed there's no Elites in ODST, at all. Bungie's Confirmations > OXM's Confirmations.

We realize that the Elites are of a fan-favorite, so it's probably wise to set aside your compassion and steel yourself for what is about to come. There are no Elites to fight in Halo 3: ODST.

Still here? Good. Deep breaths. We wanted to clue you in early so you didn't have a chance to let your expectations wind you into a whipping maelstrom of assumption and conjecture. Think of this as the intervention portion of this week's update. Look, we care about you. We don't like to see you get hurt.


But it was before they fought of Firefight. Who knows now?


even then it's not likely

bungie used halo 3's AI structure

elites in Halo 3 have no enemy AI, they are only allies. bungie would have to make the elite AI from scratch, and it doesn't seem like bungie would waste that much time on what was "going" to be an expansion.

Elites turn on you and shoot at you if you provoke them. IMO that argument isn't really even valid.

They also said that ODST would not be $60. While I still believe there will not be Elites/Sangheili, there is always the slimmest chance they MAY appear, even if they are not combatants.

What are you, five? You spelled elites and shouldn't wrong! You also forgot to capitalize your I!

  • 07.26.2009 7:08 PM PDT

there should still be for example captured elites or something like that in ODST and anyways once Truth gets to Earth they are pretty much teamed up with the humans. maybe you'll see them fighting the brutes as outcasts or something, non hostile to humans but not allies for one of a better word

That is so far from the truth.

Vancouver BC, Canada.

We'll see for sure when it comes out.

  • 07.26.2009 8:57 PM PDT

I think it would intrest you all to know that this(The thread.) is the SECOND report I've read saying elites are in the game.


Three strikes and they're in?

Edit: the other one is from another website, I think it's one of the two that were in the update.

Second Edit: I found it!

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

They might be in a Firefight level. I'd assume that's what they meant.

This apple is brown, and rotten. This orange on the other hand, is in relatively average shape. So the orange is definitely the preferable option.
----------You can't compare apples and oranges. You're so dumb.

Come on folks, lets use some of our logic. That guy didn't see anything other people didn't. He saw the same portion of the game. The sentence he wrote, about enemies being changed was based on his experience, in a preview, identical to everyone elses. He doesn't even say, "oh and fans of earlier Halo games will be happy to see that Elites have returned as a protagonist". Which one would expect, if he knowledgeable about Halo, and consciously referenced Elites, becaue he had an experience with one.

It was a typo, the guy doesn't know what he is talking about, or he wasn't thinking straight when he wrote that.

No thats exactly the truth. Halo 3: ODST recycles most of its AI programming from Halo 3. It just changes the circumstances in which certain behaviours occur. Which in turn makes them look, and perhaps behave a little smarter. But its the same behaviours, and the majority of the work was done with Halo 3.

. As for the Elites having no enemy A.I, betray NPC allies on levels with Elite allies. And tell me with a straight face Elite A.I, as in Halo 3 is adequte enough that they could copy and paste, and have an enemy, fully capable of carrying a game.

That being said, at the end of the day Bungie said ODST won't have Elites.

thats dissapointin since theres no elites there fun to kill

  • 07.26.2009 9:49 PM PDT

Bungie has stated no Elites (which kind of dissapointed me) so end of disccusion. what I find weird though is how the Elites all somehow vanished from Earth only 6 hours after Regret jumped, you would think theres still a few disorganized groups of Elites resisting the Brutes on Earth.

You have to understand, Brutes had the element of suprise. Brutes had every other Covenant race on their side. At the end of the day, the Elites were abandoned, left behind by the prophet. The prophet left, because they were already fighting a losing battle. Without any leadership, without any communication amongst themselves, they were likely wiped out before Brutes made their way planet side. And if they did make it, the Brutes could easily trick them into exposing themselves.

OXM is awesome, but they do make typos.

Yes but all of that cannot happen in 6 hours, and not every other species were sided with the Brutes, the majority of Hunters allied with the Elites and alot of Grunts did aswell, and I doubt the Brutes could exterminate then when also fending off Humans. Remeber ODST also flash's back to earlier points like the intial drop and you can play that as one of the Rookies squadmates like 2 hours after the drop and by that time Elites were probabley still prominent.
