In Halo 2, the Jackals shields get destroyed after taking a few shots. In the E3 video, the shields seemed really weak. Like, after 3 or 4 shots the shields just disintegrated into blue plasma, leaving the Jackals wide open. Personally, I liked the particle effect of the shield popping, but I think that the shield should be a bit stronger, like maybe 10 or more shots.

I think the demo was on EASY seeing on how easily everyone died. The brute would be able to take more th 3 hits on normal.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

The Brute can take 3 sniper rounds to the head before death.

Read the June 2004 issue of OXM. The first to sniper rounds are to crack open his helmet. Then the third kills him. That is how strong the Brute is now. Instead of the weak Grunt wearing a Brute skin from 2003.
