First of all, brutes do NOT = elites or spartans. If you recall, they were much tougher, and could only effectively be killed by head shots.
Secondly, adding marines, grunts, and jackals to any of the existing multiplayer game types would give some players an unfair advantage. Also, making flood run around as bots would change multiplayer completely (for the worse), because it would put less emphasis on player skill, allowing some teams that are rightfully being beaten by another team to make a come back.
I suppose you could add additional characters, with varying levels of strength, if you created entirely new play lists. There could be Classic Team Slayer (featuring the same characters as right now), and a Character Slayer (where you can choose any character you like, and have possible attacks by flood bots). Bungie could get even more creative, an example of which could be a new mode called Jackal snipers, where everyone starts off as a jackals carrying energy beams.
