I'd like for this to be in New Mombasa, but I'll respond here while I wait fo an admin to notice this.
Brutes are probably the gap between Elites and Hunters- First Strike made no mention of their fighting capability (except against Master Chief), but it did give hints that Brutes are the violent, beserker warriors of the Covenant, as far as we've seen. Brutes appear to be between Hunters and Elites in toughness- Elites have shields, while Brutes don't, so if you take away an Elite's shielding, they die faster than a Brute. And Brutes are most likely to be strong enough to border the Hunters in their ability to send Marines flying.
