No, the Brutes are not replacing the old Hunters. One of the Halo novels, First Strike, says that: "the rippling muscle under its dull gray skin could tear apart any opponent--even a mighty Hunter." So Brutes will not replace hunters altogether, but I do suspect they will usurp some of the Hunters' duties.

Hunters are brilliant...why not just drop the grunt or elite while they're at it!??? PS I think that is a load of crap.

Frankie said in one of the updates that one of the artists was working on a Hunter. That means that they are still in the game

Brutes are just the like... best warriors. They're pretty religious too and follow the prophets pretty wel if memory serves me right.


They're also A LOT better, MC can deal with a pair of hunters ((they travel in pairs)) pretty easily, but in FS 1 spartan is killed, and 2 injured out of a squad of 4 spartans by just 3 Hunters.

They were well done.... that's what i was trying to say, Brutes are good.

Anyway, the Brutes weren't in Halo because they are the guardians of the prophets and extrmely importand religious sites. You may say but halo is a really important religious site, but it only took i think 3 days and the only ships which arrived at the threshold system were from the battle at Reach, there wouldn't have been Brutes on there as there aren't many and Reach wasn't important enough for them.

Oh yaeh... and they're in Halo 2 because the prophets want the humans killed quickly, it's the last battle so they send the very best people they can get in.

I said in one of the novels that the brutes were actually serving as temple gaurds, that means if their comin out in halo2 were humans seem to be doomed, it means one of two things:
1. The prophets only send them out into full out combat when they are close to victory.
2. They are a newly aquired species.
or something like that.

i no that ucan kill hunters in a single hit by shooting them with the pistol from front view on the orange spot(stomach), but appart from that, the brutes look like they are too easy, in the trailer, it shows that u hit them with a three shot combo, and they fall on the floor dead, but the hunters took a lot more than that to kill!!!!!

Brutes are not replacing hunters, in one of the bungie weekly updates it says Jason Walpoe is working on the Brute and Hunter animations (Notice Brute and Hunter are separate not one character)

I rest my case
