brutes are simply stronger faster smarter in every way, the only advantage the brute dosent have is that it is a bigger target but it has more health. Also in halo the Elites would stop fighting after you took most of their life away and would yell for a second or so enough time to hit them with a melee atack (not the smartest move)

[color=red]Seeing as how none of us know what Brutes are like, none of us can judge. The only info we've really got is what First Strike (tm) says, and you really can't trust that. After all, in Fall of Reach (tm) the Chief almost got killed by an Elite. So really, we can't trust what Eric Nylund says all the time.[/color]

What is to say that Brutes cant pick up plasma swords too? The MC can in Halo 2 so why not. But i would have to go the elites as of speed, strenght, smarts, plus they have active camoflage and sheilds.

Elites will win of course. They have the agility to match the MC. Just dodge to the side and shoot it in the back until you kill it. It would go faster if the elite had a had human pistol or sniper rifle Oh Yeah XD

Did you know that the Brutes gun can rip a Spartan in half?

did you know the Elite's plasma sword can do the same?

Its like comparing humans and grizzlies. Mano e mano grizzlies win hands down, but if the human uses his brain, he maintains distance and shoots a few rounds into the bear's head. Human wins.


By the way, grizzlies = brutes and humans = elites

Oh, and please stop refering to the energy sword as a plasma sword. It is getting really annoying.

back on topic, i'm sure the Brute's are stronger than the Elites.. but the Elites have the intelligence and the speed. i like the comparison with Grizzlies. if the Elite was stuck in an enclosed space with a Brute, i'm sure the Brute would win. but if the Elite has his PLASMA sword, and his PLASMA SHIELD!, my money would be on the Elite.

you've seen the new wort-wort-worthog picture right, now replace all the spartans with brutes

  • 06.10.2004 8:51 PM PDT

elites are better. they are leaders in the field and are the best tacticians in the covenant. brutes do as they are told. yeah, brutes have a stronger gun and are more powerful and perhaps faster and all, but the brains always win, and thought brutes are not dummies, they are not as good at battling as elites are. that's how i see it.

Let's look at this here. If brutes were more powerful why would elites not show up til the end of the demo? not even a single blue one. That and the fact that Eric Nylund Exaggerates on power levels.

as human players our intellegence makes us invincible. elites are VERY smart. They would force brutes into traps etc and distroy them. So what can we say?? I think the elites are tacticly superior. brings us back to 500 english footsoldiers defeating 2000 french heavy cavalry. The should have been slaughtered but they had a tacticly minded commander.

Because the Elites are so technologically advanced, it wouldnt surprise me if the Elites install a chip into the Brutes to act as a sort of controlling mechanism. The Brutes probably didnt surrender (as a race) voluntarily to the Elites. This would allow the Elites to control the Brutes, and not have the Brutes turn against the Elites. Also, theres gotta be a reason for MC in the demo to not try to kill the Brutes from a distance. MC melees them. I think this is because Brute armor is supposedly bullet proof. This means that the best weapon against the Brute would be the energy sword.

Well, brutes are around the bottom of the covanent, but they are pretty powerful, still, i'd have to go with Elites on this one

Whell my friends. I think we all should wait to see the new COVENANT that no one has seen>
The ELITE would win after a close match up with the GRUNT.
Grunt's gun looks pretty scary!
