I think they'll be great, a new challenge to explore. I'm gonna love trying to find they're weak points.

well if you read the 3rd book, the brutes are the first things to really screw up the MC and theyre certainly gonna be faster than the hunters but also have a fuel rod canon of their own and from what ive heard they hit just as hard

By the way, they dont really have a fuel rod canno, there gun, the so called GINSU 9000fires a giant slug and has a huge blade o nthe back. I think the brutes are gonna be a real pain and maybe we will see some brute and elite fighting action against each other. I believe this because in one of the XBM articles, it says that brutes and elites really hate each other. So maybe we could see a little rivalries. HMMM i wonder?

According to OXM, the only easy way to kill them is to shoot off their helmet with a couple shots from the Battle Rifle and then blow the hell out of their skull.

Unless you have a rocket launcher, of course.

It looks nasty. THat huge ass balde..imagine being able to use that puppy..Jesus...

But, yeah, Brutes will add a new taste to the game hopefully, a breathe of fresh air if you will. I just hope they're fun to fight.

in defense of the hunters' weak spot, if you read "The Fall of Reach" shooting that exposed patch of back flesh is the only thing the MC could do to bring one of those things down, besides a rocket or grenade up the poopshoot...

And speaking of rivalry, could we expect to see similiar rivalry in HALO 2 between the chief and the ODST's? cause they really hate each other in the books.

Yup my money is on them too. But what will be cool, is running in and slamming both the elite and the brutes in the face with the plasma sword while they are having a little side battle with each other.

I personally think that the brutes are going to be a major pain in the neck. They will probably just completely waste all the marines and I imagine they will double team you. if they can throw grenades it will be even worse. I CAN'T WAIT!!! :-)

i hope that elites are harder then brutes like the eilte elites but brutes should be brutal and i dont think the ODSTs will have a problem with the MC because Earth is getting the -blam!- kicked out of it
