To say the only reason elites would be on earth is to fight mc isnt a very well thought out idea.. since the arbiter was about to be told where the ark is, and he demonstrated hes not too keen on the extinction of all life including his own race by stopping tartarus, Id imagine hed rather want to make sure the ark doesnt go off. Elites, and he in particular, dont strike me as the sort to sit back and count on humanity being able to stop the prophets. That being said I think that if the elites dont work with humanity, everyones going to die because things are looking ugly enough without the elites comming in and making everything a 3 way free for all, such fights end up quite ugly for all those involved, and only the prophets forces will have the numbers to soak up the deaths that will cause and keep going. On a final note about there not being any elites near earth.. there might be, there were likely elites on most if not all the covenant ships, and for all we know there was still pockets of resistance on some of those that came to earth, elites holding out on the ship but not in command of it to stop it from comming. Its quite possible that MC will encounter one such group on the forerunner ship hes on and who knows, might even work with him since there wont be marines onboard to form your support squad, you might get elites instead. Just a few ideas I figured id toss out
Ok, everything he said was true except one thing. It wouldn't be a 3 way free for all, it would be a 4 way free for all. I guarentee the flood will be in Halo 3, knowing that they would be screwed to attempt to enter the war like this, they are gonna take sides with whoever's willing, which is pretty much only the humans, since the prophets ordered a genocide on them, and the flood don't seem to be into the whole diplomacy thing.
