Brutes in halo 2 didn't feel like they where part of the halo universe to me, they feeled like they where just a replacement for elites,

never found them as cool or as fun as the elites.

Actually, they're pretty easy. I would always keep a Carbine on me. About 1-7 shots to the head would kill them, depending on how accurate you are, the distance, and if they still had the helmet thing on.

The hard part I had with them were the beginning of Gravemind, and beginning of Uprising. Although, on Uprising, I've figured out a little plan that makes things a lot easier.

The brutes are a pain when they charge you and start to beat on you if you don't have a good weapon that can kill them right away. There have been times I get hit into a corner and beat to death because I can't jump over or kill a brute fast enough. This seems to only be a problem on the harder difficulties. It's like the brute AI doesn't think like the elites, like the brutes look for any reason to charge you and beat you. They are too predictable to me.

if u dont have anything powerful (or if u dont have a carbine) they absorb waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many shots its like "hey he just burned a hole through my stomach i think ill punch him" although they are really easy 2 kill with headshots

The Brutes! I hate them alot. They're not at all fun to fight against. They're not as smart as the Elites and, they are slow, boring and quite damage resistant to any weapon that isn't capable of precise headshots.

You can kill a Brute with a single Carbine shot to the head, as long as it isn't wearing an armour plate on its head; armour plates take two to three direct shots with a Carbine to remove. They are relatively easy to kill which makes them even more boring to fight.

Brutes are crap, especially Honour Guard Brutes; no swift headshot kills.

EDIT: When they (Brutes) berserk, they become bloody annoying. They melee too fast, you don't have time to do anything.

2 usually, one to take off the little shield, two to kill them.

Brutes did'nt come to mind when I thought Covenant. they invaded the end of the game and took over as enemy number one.

Brutes seem quite annoying to me. They are just bullet sponges with a big ego and a bad attitude. Thats why i usually dont play the brute levels bc they r so annoying. With the exception of uprising its hella cool because you got pissed off elites that r gonna kick some ass. I really hope that the brute A.I. in Halo 3 at least tries to be somewhat smart instead of bezerking like Rosie ODonnel at an all you can eat buffet.

The only problem is when they decide to bezerk, where they take you down in very quick two punches. And when you don't have a Carbine, it's a problem, that's why the start of Grvaemind is so hard, to have to go on the balcanies to kill the Brutes and take their Carbines. Hoping they'll have enough ammo.

Brutes are easy on legendary, just make them go berserk and stand on something high up.

  • 07.22.2007 11:33 AM PDT

It's sticky 'nade time!

Brutes are fairly easy on Legendary, if they beserk I just stick them. I really liked the elites more. They at least have some sense of honor and stuff and say funny things sometimes in the game. Brutes are just plain rude. I guess that's why they call them brutes......

I can't vote on this. I play after picking up skulls. Grunt birthday party makes headshots have a plasma grenade explosion happen under the shot entity, thus confirming they are dead. It does miracles on Brutes, especially on Gravemind where there's a million carbines to pick up for it. I didn't like carbine on Elites, but I forgot that the plasma pistol would make it just the same. It's a cake walk either way. I always forget how easy legendary is.

I say they r both fun to kill. On legendary, elites are harder cuz when brutes are charging at you you can just jump over them. But if you've gotten all the skulls in the game, brutes are much more harder.

brutes arent really that much fun... they r either really easy (when u have carbine beam rifle etc.)
and they r hecka hard when u dont have anything powerful

  • 07.23.2007 10:09 PM PDT

He who dares wins

i'm not particually fond of the brutes to be honest i mean i real life would u expect a brute to outsmart an elite (im no expert) but in a firefight isnt it more brains over brawns matter anyway elites are just simply cooler in every aspect
