KingKTiger1: First I have a question where are the Elites in ODST?
There is no way the Elites all a sudden knew their was an uprising and moved a lightning speed back home. I did see one dead Elite in the city but thats just a Cameo I guess.
Before the slipspace rupture, they are valiantly fighting for the covenant. After, they are all mysteriously disappeared - and a huge new force of brutes just magically showed up, with cool new armor too. Armor that is completely different than what the MC is fighting off at High Charity at the same time.
The explanation? Gameplay purposes. We all now know the brutes as our enemies. Though I would love to fight elites with Halo 3 graphics and AIs, it would confuse a lot of people with changing the main enemies from elites to brutes and back to elites.

"What's the difference?"
"Doctors cure people. Medics just make them more comfortable. While they die."
