I'll be pissed if they are Elites. Not because I don't like Elites, but because Bungie lied to me.

When the Phantom drops off the Cheiftan. Behind it it looks like an Ultra is leading a pack of Jackals.

Didn't Bungie lie about no Midship or Lockout remakes for Halo 3? That's what someone told me.

Its in the very back, attacking Buck. I believe it also has a Plasma Rifle. Jackals only Have Plasma Pistols, Carbines, and Beam Rifles. Elites have Plasma Rifles.

OTK. Splatter time!

He sure as hell looks like an Elite, but it's probably a Jackal marksman.


That's what Bungie said.

Elites do appear fighting the characters of Halo 3: ODST in the Helljumper comics.

Those comics happen years before ODST.

I'm sorry, but if you think there are Elites, you retarded.

There are no elites in firefight, end of story. Why would they be in there??? I mean, give me one good reason why?

Bungie would want to cut corners woudn't they? Why do extra work on Elite models when you have a prefectly good reason to not include them?

  • 07.31.2009 10:34 AM PDT

DAMN! Just gives us a variety of enemies!!!! just gives us elites!!! no harm done.

They already have the models from Halo 3, you troll.

We'll find out if there are Elites in ODST soon enough. I kinda' don't want to know for sure, I want it to be a surprise...

Wrong, It had a carbine. You can tell by the green lines shooting towards buck. You must have mistaken it with the shield Jackals shots.


P.s It's a Jackal. You were probably playing it in the lowest quality available.

Urk said in the forums there are no elites in firefight either, period.
Though it makes me sad.

More variety? Things like Firefight need variety. And why would a game developer [b]want[b] to cut corners?

As one member already said, there still are the Elite models from Halo 3.

Like I said in my wall of text, I have never seen a Jackal with white Combat armor and plasma rifle.

I also think the title should be changed to "Elites Confirmed by community, Bungie is lying"

In Soviet Russia, Xbox plays you.

It's a Jackal with a Carbine. The reason why it's attacking Buck is because Buck was right below the Phantom when the enemies jumped out. The Jackal jumped out right next to Buck. If you look at it closely you'll see it's got a Jackal Sniper Helmet, not an Combat Elites. You know how I can tell, it's ridged whereas and Combat Elite's helmet is smooth. The shots from the gun it's shooting may look blue, but it is being filmed off screen, so the colors are going to be darker.

Just take Bungie's word for it and accept the fact it's a Jackal.

  • 07.31.2009 10:40 AM PDT

yes firefight needs variety of enemies.

What time is it on the video?


O my bad its 2:14.

Thanks, but that is an Elite, all the other Jackels have shields when they drop, so why doesnt that one?

Also the way it moves, I've played Halo 3 enough to know when I see an Elite.

Maybe because it's a Jackal Marksman and in the universe, Jackals are actually quite aggressive. The games make them feel inferior so you seem powerful. However, since you aren't powerful anymore (atleast not as), it seems Bungie has upped the game with the Jackal AI.

The first shot in the Photobucket picture looks like a Jackal, but in the video, it runs towards the player. Jackal Snipers usually drop their weapon or turn away and run, unless Jackals behave differently when confronted by a Marine/ODST.

Don't Elites use Carbines anyways?

We'll just have to wait and see. Just two more months.
