*Spoiler*?

In Halo: First Strike it says that the Brutes have Grenade launchers. Does anyone else hope that youll get some type of Plasma grenade launcher :)

well the gun described in the book first strike is exactly like the one I've seen in renders and concept scetches. Therefore, I'm sure it will work in game just as it did in the books. I just hope they don't treat it like the fuel rod gun by not allowing us to pick it up in halo 1. that would be lame.

I don't know. Maybe he got a lot of practice killing brutes since his first encounter in the books.

I wonder who the guy playing that demo was... and in some parts of the demo he has bad aim, like when hes shooting at the two transports, and when the brute jumps on top he jumps out and shoots the warthot a cuple times..

I don't know the name but i remember reading an interview with him or someone talking about him and he was nervous about playing infront of all those people.

Its very likely that the Brutes in the 2003 E3 demo was only a stand-in version who was supposed to be easy to kill, so they could show off the melee combo. Or he was on easy. (Jackels suck)

I posted in a different forum about the brutes that from the time of the cheif's first encounter with the brutes to the encounter he has with the one in the e3 demo, he has gotten a new suit of armor. The armor is suppose to increase his stregth right. Well now hes stronger and could more easily take the Brutes out.

I sure hope we get to use the Brutes' gun, especially if it's a grenade launcher. Maybe thats the gun that Frankie refered to in one of his earlier updates as a "brutal, bone crushing bastard of a weapon". I sure hope so :)

It shoots some pretty big plasma balls in the E3 demo video, probably grenades like you people said. I want to use it too.

Jesus that sounds cool, just for the sake of being lazy and on dial up. Can anyone tell me where it is so I don't have to search?
