What's written in these few entries is important in the context of understanding the overall story presented in the Halo trilogy. But what exists between the lines is where you should focus most of your attention. This is where the majority of the events that unfold during Halo 3: ODST take place. And it is in also in these moments that the Prophet of Truth did much of his puppeteer's manipulations. The thirteen day span between the dates of October 20th and November 2nd provided the High Prophet with all the time he needed to redeploy Brute-led Covenant forces, their mission objectives relayed sub rosa, into the heart of New Mombasa.

But why Brutes?

In the wake of Regret's shameful retreat from New Mombasa, the Prophet of Truth continued his maneuvering - one eye always on his ultimate goal: his rightful and holy ascension. For Truth, his own personal passage was paramount. His Godhood would not be denied. Everything else was secondary.

And though Truth's duplicitous scheming doesn't come to full fruition until the Elite Honor Guard's failure to protect the Prophet of Regret affords him with the final leverage needed to appoint the Brutes to the lofty position, his plans were never made in haste. They were well laid. When the time came to return his attention to Earth, his expendable regiments needed to be led by Jiralhanae, not Sangheili.

Leaving the Elites to scour Earth in search of a Holy Forerunner relic, and ultimately to uncover the most precious and sacrosanct Forerunner artifact in existence - the very portal that opened upon the Ark itself - would have placed all Truth's aspirations upon the shoulders of a species he had already decided to cast aside, a species splintered by heresy and derision, even amongst their own ranks.

Truth's divisive mandate had been set in motion. The Elites had exhausted their usefulness to him, they would not be allowed to meddle in his affairs any longer, and he would not place his rightful transcendence into the hands of incompetents. His word was law.

So the Prophet of Truth deploys Brutes. And the Brutes were eager to prove that their loyalty and battle prowess had earned them a seat at the side of the Hierarchs, as the honored protectors of the sacred Covenant. Such blind faith and eagerness marked them as near perfect pawns for Truth to sacrifice..

Wielding a double-bladed chainsaw, wearing a potato sack on your head and spinning around mindlessly is amiably quick at getting anything done

I believe Elites might be. I will be glad if they are but won't be down if they aren't.

And so there was a man who ate cake.

And he was happy it was that way.

It has been confirmed that there are no Elites in Firefight or the Campaign.

Urk has already locked 2-3 threads asking this, and has confirmed there are no Elites in ODST at all.

no one knows if your going to fight elites in firefight or not. That is still under speculation that know one will know until odst is released in two months. Elites will NOT be in campaign- but again, no one knows for sure about firefight. All videos of firefight have been stage DEMOS not he full version game. Bungie always has surprises up their sleeves when it comes to these things. Elites are most likely to appear in firefight because it is non canon. they will NOT be in campaign though.


Actually, that is the full version. Bungie already finished the game before E3 so there'd be no reason to bring a demo/unfinished copy.

Urk had stated in the weekly update.

*There will be no Elites [[Keyword!>]] TO FIGHT [[<!drowyeK]] in Halo 3 ODST*

Now alot of people have interpered this as meaning there are no Elites period, but untill we see otherwise we are going to have to stick with this theroy. I was dissapointed when i read that too but thats just the way it went.
