I sent this as a message to someone cause I couldn't post anything, it is up in the Official unofficial confirmed things in ODST thread.
I was watching that video that had some speculation on whether or not it is an elite attacking that person. After watching that part 4-5 times normally I know for a fact that it wasn't a Jackal. Jackals have no Melee capabilities and as you can see at almost a nano second before 2:14 the creature swings its arm and proceeds to fire a blue plasma rifle.
So it isn't a Jackal.
While the creature was running I noticed something about its legs so I zoomed in on them, what I found was that its legs were bent just like an Elites legs would be. On top of that I decided to do some scaling just to compare the creature to a regular Jackal. I found that the Creature was standing at the same height of an Elite, but a jackal whose shield had just broke would stand at the same height. Over the time we see the creature it is obvious that it wasn't a jackal whose shield had broken because of how high it stood. Compared to the other Jackals in the video it was clear that the creature in the back was infact taller then any Jackal that was close to you.
It wasn't a Brute because in ODST Firefight in every video I have seen of a brute with a plasma rifle it has only been in campaign, brutes in firefight however carry either Brute Plasma Rifles and Spikers. That would be the Blue Class of Brute, the orange one usually carries a brute shot or in paricular cases it carries a Carbine.
After reviewing the Video one more time It is an elite, if you zoom in on the Creature you can see that it was wearing a full White body armor and helmet. It is wearing a combat helmet and combat armor, although it isn't the best video footage I can indefinetly say that this is an elite.
The Facts:
1. Not tall enough to be a Jackal, the Elite in the video is larger then the Jackal closest to you when you scale them together.
2. Brute legs and Elite legs are not at all similar to each other, when you zoom in you can plainly see that it is an Elites legs.
3. Brutes in firefight don't use normal Plasma rifles, they use brute plasma rifles and Spikers. (This depends on the variant of Brute though because weapons may very)
4. No Brute wears White armor in the game, even when a Brute takes damage its shields don't flicker white. It uses a pressureized suit and even when the suit gives out the brutes body is brown and black.
5. If you zoom in on the Elites head and play the video you can clearly see from about 2-3 different angles that it is an Elite Combat Helmet.
6. If you look closely, when the Elite falls, you can see its "Horse like feet" and when it touches the ground it sort of slides over to the left. Normal brutes would either spin to the side or they would jump over to the side.
7. Even if you just watch the video by itself you could easily tell that this was an elite just by the shape of its bod, the armor it was wearing and how it was moving.
