No Elites in Halo 3: ODST No Chief, no Elites…is it still Halo?
by Erik Brudvig
Bungie continues to dole out Halo 3: ODST information in small doses. This week, in the company's weekly update, this bit of information has been given: There are no Elites in Halo 3: ODST. That is the reason you only see Brutes in the original teaser trailer that announced the game formally.
The post further talks about the timeline of Halo events and where ODST fits in. During the thirteen days between October 20 (when New Mombasa is destroyed) and November 2 (when the Prophet of Regret is "liquidated" by Spartan-117), the High Prophet redeployed the Brute Covenant forces into New Mombasa, which is where Halo 3: ODST takes place. Head over to read the full
weekly update for the gritty details.
So is this still Halo? Bungie assures everyone it is, even going so far as to point out that though the new SMG has a reflex sight, you will not use that site as a scope.
Without the two most recognizable foes -- Master Chief and Elites -- do you still feel this is a proper Halo game? Leave a comment below to let us know.
