Who would win? My theory is this.....

To start things off, the brute is much stronger than an elite. Brutes would own on strength along. Brute wins.

Second, weapons. The Elite usually carries a plasma rifle. The Brute carries a slug-like weapon. The Elite would have the advantage of range and rate of fire. He could maybe finish the Brute off before the Brute could get in range. But when the Brute gets in close, it's a different story. I give it to the Elite.

Next, melee attack. The Brutes got a Big Ass Blade (or what i refer to as a B.A.B.) This could chop up the Elite. Now this is were there are 2 different set ups. First, the elite would get his ass kicked with the plasma rifle. But 2nd, the Elite could have a plasma sword. Therefore the Elite would slice the Brute in 2. I call it even here, due to the varities.

Now, Tatics. The Elites are tatical geniouses. They duck, flank, throw grens, and do tons of crazy crap. The Brutes arent really the smartest of the liter. (Note the 2003 E3 movie, crashing into the wall, and assuming a Brute was piloting the Phantom, shooting a sign and crashing into it) Elites win.

Vehicles. Both species can drive a ghost. So far we know of that only the Elite can drive a banshee and wraith. Unknown that Brute can drive these. Let's assume that he can't (Why not? Well, they would have to be custom made because the seat is formed and made for a Elite and only an Elite (ala First Strike). Spartans can barely fit in) Still, it is unknown, so its a tie here.

Now how would a battle play out? Well i think it something like this.

On open ground, i believe a Brute might win. Assuming the Elite had a plasma rifle, he would open fire on the Brute. The Brute would run and dodge his way past the shots, and when he got close, open fire. If he got close enough, he would use his strength/melee and overpwere the Elite. If the Elite had a plasma sword, the Brute could dodge it easily being open ground and shred the Brute to peices.

On a more close space with obsticales, lets say the Beach on The SIlent Cartogopher. The Elite would probably win. Tatics would come into play. The Elite would duck, hide behind objects, throw grens, and try to flank the Brute. THe Brute on the other hand would try running past the obsticales, looking for the Elite, and eventually get confused and fustrated. The Elite could trick out the Brute. However, the tables could turn if the Elite is spotted and the Brute opens fire with his weapon.


Well im getting tired of writing. What you guys think?

Im sorry but I will give it to the Elite's. They are big in numbers plus everyone of them has a energy shield so if the brute swung his blade at the Elite . He would still have to deal with his shield. Plus the Elite's think of combat as a religion. The Brute is a big grunt the Elite's to me are more of a large Special Forces type group. Note that in First Strike John looked like to me he was on the losing end of a fight with a Elite tell the ODST put a clip into the Elite. But I think it was cool if the Elites found that there is a relation bettween humans and Forerunners that the Prophites where hiding from then or what not, and they broke off and the Hunter's only respect the Elites and the fell suit and started a civil war in the covanet.

Elite would win, the brutes have a special place in the covenant, they are the (religious guards) they are like the heavy handed assault, sort of like hunters, they are sent in to destroy everything and do it with as much explosions and death as possible. Elites are more stealthy, practical, and smart, although they are lesser in strenth and armor, they are smarther, the would dodge the brutes heavy weapon with ease and then attach a plasma grenada, well anyways brutes are good at ;arge scale assaults while Elites are better for All around fighting and sneaky, well calculated attacks...

i think the elite would kick the brutes ass because hes faster and probably smarter.

Not really, in fisrt strike it said that the brute was faster than the mc( which is fast) so the brute would run up close to the elite and use his slug thrower. Brute would win. Besides, plasma only works well against sheilds (as char said from the magasine)

also brutes shields dont recharge like MCs and elites (i got it off somewhere reliable like a reliable magazine maybe OXM) so the rely on there armour to help shield them but wouldnt the armour make it slow? but since he moved really fast in first strike think how fast he would be without armour? and if the weapon itself weighs alot think what would happen if it was holding like a plasma pistol somehow?

i've seen the brute in action, i watched one kill 2 marines in about 3 seconds. But when the master chief got out of the warthog, he killed the brute in like 2 seconds. So if you get caught off guard by a brute, you're screwed, but otherwise they're not a problem.

We're talking about a Brute vs. Elite, not Brute vs MC

an elite would win anyday, they have the battle tactics and they can simply dodge crap like MC can, therefore making brutes as ineffective as hunters.

"We're talking about a Brute vs. Elite, not Brute vs MC "

MC and elites are basically the same arent they?

I think they both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Elite vs. Brute = Brains vs. Brawn

Let's just hope that the new covenant alien isn't an elute.
