whatever man, did you see the E3 2003 demo where MC hit that damn monkey thee times and killed him
Make sure you know your material before you post like that. The Brutes were using Grunt A.I. for the demo because theirs wasnt finished. So not only were the Brutes pretty dumb, they had a very low health resulting in a very quick death. Anyway, how would you like to be doing a demo and be getting your ass handed to you in front of hundreds of people? Not very fun. When the game ships you can expect the Brute to be a lot like an Elite, but the Brutes will be a lot more aggressive where as the Elite will be more of a tactical enemy.

Actually that would be kind of funny if he got killed in the demo but I'm telling you elites are going to kick the brutes ass the brutes might be strong but elites are smarter and faster and while the brutes are trying to hit the elite the elite would be dodging and would hit him in his weak spot. its like me going against a hunter

Oh that's because brutes have that trait flood do: they can sometimes surprise you and get back up. Sometimes they just dont die right away.

Put it like this the e3 demo was just that a demo. All of the stuff you saw, was used to show off new aspects of halo 2. They werent showing of the A.I. or the new enemies. They were just showcasting a demo.

Its not like the brutes are totally dumb, or the prophets wouldn't trust them to be their personal gaurds. I say in MOST scenarios, brutes would slaughter the elites.

i personaly love elites, and tacticly and elite would win but brutes are just stronger AND faster (if a rember right from stuff i have heard of the books) brutes are not retards either just like hunters, hunters are actualy intelegent and good at tactics. i realy think that an elite are evenly matched but with diferent skills.

If it was a one on one Brute vs. an Elite, the Brute would win. But, if an equal force of Brutes and Elites were to battle, the Elites would win for their superior knowledge on the battle field. (that and the fact that they're the best with the weapons given to them)

Brutes would kill elites in hand-to-hand while elites would kill brutes in weapons combat

well brutes will kick some elite ass...elites are crap will weapons combat...brutes were made to be strong...thats why they protect the prophets...elites dont because they suck...i found it quite easy to kill any covenant that was on the first one so the brutes better live up to the hype{which im sure they will} because i like a little bit a competition...not to fun going around on legendary beating the whole game in a couple a hours killing elites like there was no tomorrow not dying once...brutes better get up and kick some covie ass and take human side and prophets should follow along with the engineers

Elites would win hands down. (not in one on one hand to hand combat) It doesn't matter how strong the Brute is, [i] you don't have to be strong to handle a weapon [i]. The Elite is an expert with it's weaponry! An Elite also has different ranks. I think the lowest rank would lose against a Brute, but anything higher would kick the Brutes ass. The Brutes weapon is strong sure, but it's probably really slow. The Elites carry Plasma Riffles, Needlers, (they might be able to use all of them now, since you can in multiplayer, I don't know) While the Elite Dodges all the slow blasts from the Brute, It would be pounding Burning Plasma straight to the Brute! (that was my opinion. Some people get really mad if you say an opinion they don't like!)

Also, some one said earlier that Brutes must be strong if the Prophets trust them to be their gaurds. not true! The Brutes don't really care about their religion; they just do what they're told to do. The Elites however, dislike the Prophets means of worshipping the forerunners (Temples and prairs) Why would a Prophet want some one to guard him who might turn against him? If the Elite was the Prophets guard, whats stopping the Elites from going against the Prophet?

Well first if elites are so smart and mighty why is that tartarus in First Strike got really close to the prophet and 300 gaurdian elites had to leave the room. And Brutes were Stronger, Faster, and smarter. You see I remember reading something on elite from this site or somewhere that elite actaully take brauns over brains.( dont know if i spelt brauns right, i dont think it would be bronze) Then there was the fact that in the Big structer(dont fell like spelling or typing it) The brutes were smart enough to use the COM to there advantage.

Yeah, and MC was pummeled to about an inch of his life by one. If it wasn't for his amazing luck and a frag grenade, it would have choked him off and ripped his head off his body, mjolnir armor and all.

if the elites dislike the prophets and brutes they should join the humans in halo 2 then the brutes and all the covenant won't stand a chance

Sorry to get off topic, but who do you guys think would win in a match of 2 brutes vs. 2 hunters?

My bet is the hunters because of the fuel rod cannons; however if the brutes got up close to the point where they can't shoot the cannon, the hunters are about as vulnerable as the infection form (if they know how to dodge their melee attacks)

I heard that Bungie is also getting rid of the "one shot kill" glitch in the game, which will make the hunters a more formidable opponent this time around.

First off Brutes would win easily. In the books it stated that a Brute could rip a hunter to shreds. That the Brutes could defeat even the mighteist of the Covenant soldiers. And the Brutes would be up in the hunters face before the frc's could charge up. Or the brutes could fire there what is now called grenade launchers.

i think the hunters would slaughter the brutes because there gaint shield would block the brutes shots and if the brutes get close enough the hunters would hit them with their shield
