I don't mean that elites are being removed, I am merely stating that If humans do join up with the elites, I won't be able to snipe them in most levels.
I've posted explanations as to why we will still be fighting Elites dozens of times, so I'll just abridge myself.
Not all elites will side with humans, if any besides the Arbiter and his merry band do at all. Years and years of propoganda will do that. Most elites (and grunts, and hunters...), especially the younger ones who have been exposed to anti-human propoganda for most or all of their lives, will simply splinter and regard both humanity and the Brute-led Covenant as hostile. If we (we being humans) side with any elites at all, it will most likely be the Elite elders and leadership. These elites, because of their age (assuming elites have a similar life-span as humans), have been exposed to anti-human slander for less time than their youngers, and almost certainly know more about human culture than their counterparts This is relative, of course, as the Covenant generally regard anything human, except killing them, as a waste of time. Because they know relatively more about human culture, and may even see admirable gems amongst the turds they regard humanity to be, enough to rationalize a temporary cease-fire.
