I like to -blam!- -blam!- up. It's what I'm good at.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

The slaughtering of civilians was probably dirty work, perfect for Brutes.

yea pretty much, plus brutes are man eaters so that to.

^ This. The Elites probably thought fighting against those without weapons was a dishonourable task, better left to those without any honour to begin with.

No, that wouldn't matter to them.

The main reason is brutes are close combatants and this level was full of it so it was a good level to put them in.

Another would be the ships over the city were brute controlled.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

The Elites glass planets of helpless humans, they really don't care. Brutes just happened to be deployed to that area, and they would do well in a cramped city setting.

We were somewhere around Barstow...

What's piloting those Banshees then?

I think he means in single combat; Elites saw glassing to be a divine power, only used to sterilize worlds of "infection." Slaughtering defensless and helpless people in battle however, is likely viewed as something totally different.

^This: I'm not saying they wouldn't do it, I'm saying that given the choice between testing themselves against a worthy advesary and increasing their personnel glory, or forced to slaughter a bunch of helpless, non-threatening civilians, which do you think they would choose. Better to pass the buck on to the Brutes and get back to the real flight.

It would be dishonourable not because you are killing innocent beings, but because it would mean that their commanders do not trust the Elites with better targets (i.e soldiers who can actually shoot back.)

Slaughtering defenceless people is a job best left to the inferior barbaric classes of the Covenant.

Maybe they took the day off.

The Covenant want every human dead and civilians evacuating directly contradicts that. The elites don't want to do the dirty work, but someone has to do it,
