thats a tough one cause we havn't versed the brute ourselves but on the in game demo the brute was killed with the mele combo which was 3 hits if i remember correctly and that about what an elete take so i think either the elite is stronger or there about the same

If you read first strike the it says the brutes can tear a hunter to peices and when the MC and a brute are fighting its much stronger, and they have grenade launchers ;)

A hunter is only strong cause of its armor. Bullets bounce off of them but they also don't affect the brute when john shot the one in the book. that brute had no armor and the bullets only made it angrier. Also the brutes are stronger than and elite, The book made a comparison of when John wrestled the elite and brute at different times and the brute was way stronger. He had felt nothing like it before. The way that I feel about the brute though in comparision to the elite is that it is all brawn while the elite is a better tactician.

Yea what doesnt make sense to me is John unloads a clip into the Brute and it doesnt do anything, but in the E3 demo, he shoots 1 of em 3 times and it dies.

thats right, he did shoot it in the E3 demo and it died. In the book he had to push it onto a grenade to kill it. Perhaps it wasn't complete in the demo how the brutes will work in the scheme of things. Or if you look in the renders and drawings of the brute they have little containers of stuff on their belts. Maybe its some kind of powere juice that puts them into a rage. In the book the brute was high and in the demo the brute happened to be sober. I don't know.

that would be cool though if they had some kind of stim injection or red bull or something that sent them into a blind fury. they could get all buff and double in size before they open a can on your arse.

and when you do the stim you go into like a bullet time where everything but you slows down and you can react faster than everything around you. That would be sweet. Bungie needs to hire us dude so that we could think this stuff up for them.

Yes but it looked like it was being played (at E3) on normal or even easy. In terms of pure toughness the 3rd book talks about the brute being stronger then the Chief, and the Chief was even with am elite it battled with, so, the brute from a bulk standpoint is stronger.

ah! I figured it out why the brutes died so easy in the E3 demo. In the book the cheif had on the old suit and was weak against the brute during the first encounter. In the E3 demo he has on the new suit. He shot the brute a couple of times then he whacked it. Only once he whacked it did it died. Remember that the suit is what makes him so fast and strong. He can whack harder now in H2!

There are a few instances of the same sort of thing, purely for balance in the game. For example, in the book, the Hunters are the most feared enemy, almost impossible for the spartans to take down at first. But in the game, it's an easy one shot kill, even on legendary. Another good one is the Assault Rifle. In the book it's a very powerful weapon, and the given choice of the Spartan squad, while we all know it wasn't the best choice in the game. I think the Brute was easy to kill purely because the game hasn't been balanced or it is for balance.

And to disprove the idea that it's because it's on Easy or Normal, that's not true because the enemies are equal on all dificulties I'm pretty sure, it just changes how many there are in the level. Of course, I could be remembering this wrong, and they could've changed it for Halo 2. Good thread.
