Subject: Elites confirmed as enemies in Firefight!

Yes, of course.

I don't want to sound like a fanatic, narrow minded idiot trying to convince everybody of the appearance of Elites.

It's just a new discovery which makes me excited, I want to know what fills those spots.

btw, total kills is unlikely. Why would they hide it? It's nothing special. The empty spots are probably used for unknown enemy types.

We have come to the conclusion that FIrefight is non-canon( i have anyways) So why can't these enemies be in there? It's like saying you can't play as a Spartan in MP b/c all of them are dead except the ones in the SlipSpace planet and MC.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

No Elites in ODST, or at least not as enemies. I'm not sure why some people believe this or why he wrote that there are Elites, but there aren't.

It's a matter of debate. Lots of game developers give false assumptions. For example, Bungie saying no Midship or Lockout remake. They lied as we have Blackout and upcoming Heretic.

Elites couldn't be allies, doesn't fit the storyline, they're still part of the Covenant, slowly drifting away.

Bungie saying No Elites is up to interpretation. I interpret it as No Elites in the Campaign, which makes sense. Firefight... a lot of lead info. may be changing that, Elites may be in.

Maybe out of the 8 known Firefight maps (woo!) there will be one or two that have Elite enemies. But I'm not sure what the difference will be, seeing how Brutes now have energy shields. The only difference seems to be that Brutes go berserk whilst Elites... don't.

Remember, Brute armor gets destroyed in Halo 3? They've had shields since in Halo 3, but their armor was pathetic compared to Spartan or Elite armor.

The inclusion of Elites could spicen things up, make things harder. Elites should appear in later waves of Firefight.

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

I also hope that the Elites, Sentinels and Flood aren't smashed in with the rest on every map, if they are in at all.
-A special, spooky Flood level with all the Flood forms,
-Arkish map with Sentinels and possibly Enforcers,
-Map with the original Covenant, and a map with all the Covenant, would be a lot better.
Then there could of course be one All Star map with all the enemies on field attacking each other but having you in middle of them and focusing on you like in Halo1.

The ultimate Halo battle mode.

Epic

I just hope that we don't hype ourselves up too much and then get disappointed when the game ships without elites or the other mentionen features.

Seriously, those great battles sound intriguingly awesome. Brings back Halo1 memories.

Possibly. Bungie did say there aren't Elites in Campaign, but never said anything about Firefight.

I posted this a while back, and I was given conformation from players who were at SDCC that the article was mistaken. You should also notice that there is not a single Elite in any of the screenshots attached to that article.

1.) No screenshots of Elites in ODST were EVER released, so you can't demand a picture for proof. (Bungie's obviously keeping their inclusion a secret.)

2.) I believe the public versions of ODST didn't contain all content that the full version would have. I'm unsure if I'm right or wrong.

Why does Bungie put us through such avid anticipation?

Oh my god! Why are people still posting in this thread? OP's source lied and wasn't legitimate. Bungie said there were no elites on ODST, firefight included.

Because it has become a good place to debate the possibility of Elites in firefight. Oh, and unless you can give me a link to where Bungie specifically says no elites in firefight, I'll hold out hope for that long.

Plus, Bungie lies often.

*No Midship or Lockout remake*

It's a good topic for debate, and you never know, Elites could be in. The postgame carnage reports have two blank spots, no one knows what the last two spots are.

Amen

Regarding the topic, is there maybe any other interview, preview or report that mentions elites? If this is truly the ONLY one then we have to assume that it could be a mistake of the author.

I already checked all of the previews posted in the recent news post.
