Good morning everyone,
Forgive me for shining a new face into your optical receptors, but I have an inquiry for you people of the ODST forum. Preferably, I seek the responses of those familiar with the cannon and have played Halo 2.
Why are there no Elites in the ODST campaign? As you should know, the game takes place just after the Master Chief eaves Mombasa with the Covenant Super carrier. I don't recall there being any Brutes on Earth during Halo 2, yet during ODST, which is supposed to be a congruent time, seems to have almost the opposite: No Elites and a barrel of Brutes. Why is it like this? What is the reason, if any, behind this?
My initial speculation was that it had something to do with the Civil War, however that still fails to explain all of the Brutes in the opening mission. In fact, I believe that Bungie even tried to explain it prior to the release as "Truth's Wrath," or something along those lines. So there are no Elites loft over in Old Mombasa? (As New Mombasa was destroyed.) If this is so, how could the Brutes have arrived so quickly, or even learn about Regret's failure with such haste? Please, enlighten me.
Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to this. I must ask for no trolling, flaming, or any "bad news" in this thread, but I'm sure I don't have to worry about that.
Have a good one.
