Just wondering, from the footage of the Brute and the Elite we've seen, and with the info we've gathered from Frankie's Weekly Udates and the E3 clips, who do you think would win?

In the book it says the brute could tear a hunter in half. I vote brute. C'mon its name is brute!

Keep in mind that they weakened everythnig in that Demo, so the player wouldnt die, and respawn back at the start of the level!
So expect the Brute to whoop more ass!
I vote Brute!

I voted Brute too, but just wondering...I think the only viable way this is a toss-up is that: the elites are faster. If they can evade the Brute, and just take some cheap shots while moving and jumping, they might stand a chance....but the question is "Are Elites Faster?"

but the Elite is the better fighter, he would keep his distance and outwit the Brute.

If we are talking a fist fight the Brute would win, if we're talking with weapons the Brute carries a beast of a grenade launcher type weapon (not sure of the specifics) which apparently ripped apart one of the Spartans, so Brute all the way!

Sweet Jesus. I can't download that. Russia is notorious around Eastern Europe for it's terrible internet service. 158MB at about 7kB a second.... That's going to take a long ass time, and because in Russia you pay for internet but the hour, well, I can't afford that. I'm sure it's great, though.

Didnt the Elite in that one screen shot have a Carbine or something...It's basically the equivalent to the Battle Rifle...if the Elite had that, they might be able to attack from a distance, and do enough damage before the Brute could do anything...what shoots farther, the brute's weapon, or elite's? if it was the Elites, I say the elite would win for sure, they'd be more likely to be evasive and tactical...Brutes seem to have a more 'head on' berserker type attack......just a thought...

Don't rub it in. You out there complaining about AOL, shut up. AOL kicks ass compared to this.

The Elite is much faster than the brute. The brute is not as smart as the Elite either. The Elite will take the brute. Maybe the brute is stronger in arms, but it's too slow for the Elite. The Elite just jumps to the left or right or whatever to avoid it. Then BAM!

Elites could kick a Brutes ass. They are smarter, faster, have nifty plasma rifles etc. so the brutes are strong, a wack from an elite as i'm sure you all know, batters a brute can't be that much stronger. finally, brutes have tacky armor plating elites have almost the equal (probably is in halo2) to mojiner armor. it has energy sheilds to take masses of damage and proper decent armor. finally why would elites be in more favor of the prophets if brutes are supposedly better? face it people, despite the large fan base behind them clouding your judgement, elites are way superior

ah but your leaving out one factor elites have different ranks and so if u had a special ops elite against a general brute then the elite will out smart him

are there different ranked brutes too? i think for the record it should be blue/red elites vs brute. if it we're any higher rank there really isn't a contest. lol gold elite would just cleave the poor brute in two

I think brutes would be easier to fight than elites, but unless Bungie have worked their socks off (which they actually probably have) then the elites won't have smart enough AI to outwit a brute. Think back to Halo 1, a hunter would probably have killed an elite, but I would much rather fight a hunter than an elite (depending on circumstances, I would rather fight an elite in a small room with a shotgun, but in a larger room with no cover and a pistol, I would rather fight a hunter)

I voted for Brutes. The Halo novel: First Strike said that the Brutes in the temple were faster and a helluva lot stronger than elites. And they have a beastly high velocity grenade launcher with a <blam!>ing huge blade that can slice your head off!

  • 05.30.2004 9:17 AM PDT

SB-117

If one of us controlled this elite (like yo ucan in multiplayer) then the brutes head will roll right off after a quick slash with the energy sword.
