what are brutes you say? they are just anouther race that joined the covenent. They are as strong as a hunter and fast like elites. Brutes and elites hate each other and you might see them fighting in halo2.

the brute tartarus, strode across the great room. when he stood within three meters of the prophet, he fell tp one knee.
the creature was a magnificent specimen of viciousness. the prophet marveled at its near-unthinking potential for mayhem; the rippling muscle under its dull gray skin could tear apart any opponent---- even a mighty hunter. it was a perfect instrument

i dont see how my name effects anything, esspecially the fact that i just supported my statment with a quote from the novel, and i dont see why the hunters wont be back, it would be a foolish choice to exclude them

Mr.Balonie,we'll see at halo 2,who's stronger.hunters or brutes...gah,forget them,i'm in for the elites.like zumamee said to me earlier...maybe there will be a much stronger foe and the covenants and humans will have to unite to vanquish this new threat becuz one race alone is not good enough.and good luck with your STATEMENTS

the covenant is not a race it is a collection of species. im not sure why you ,after reading my quote from the novel , continue to disagree, i proved my point, stop being immature about it

Balonie is correct with the quote. I just read it in the book First Strike. It is around the last page or so. If you don't believe him then go look in the book and I prefer Hunters myself. Makes me sad knowing that they are'nt the strongest anymore.

THEY CAN RIP A HUNTER IN HALF. if you read the epilogue of first strike tartrgus or whatever his name is a brute and his race is described as to kill even the mightiest hunter.

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Well this leads us to an interesting discussion. In book the prophet thinks to himself, "What a Perfect Instrument." The perfect instrument to fight the other races? To help fight and win a civil war? That statement should lead us to believe the rumor that the Prohpets and Brutes are on thier own agenda not letting the Elites or other races now, so... the Covie CW may be b/w those two and the Covie we all know from Halo. Just a thought.

I think that the E3 2003 Demo, was being shown on EASY mode, cause EVERYTHING died too easy, and I know Bungie would never make the game like that. I seriously dont think a Brute can jump out of a Phantom, land on the Worthog, smack both the passanger and driver out, THEN die with two hits, I agree with ya, it was pretty lame when that happend, but I belive they were only showning it on EASY mode.

i know the books say that brutes (pah) can rip hunters in half, but this just seems wrong. They dont seem to be big or strong enough to do that, maybe its just me but it just seems like a lot of crap.

Arent hunters meant to be the best ground fighters in the covenant??

i seriously doubt theres gonna be a civil war. hes perfect instrument to take down thier mortal enemy. the master chief. that has been the plan for years. thats why the counsel wanted that elite and yayap to kill the MC. he is thier biggest enemy of the human race. MC has killed thousands upon thousands of covies so they want to return the favor to the big guy.

Actually, the Brutes weren't doen yet, the AI anyway. And they were using Grunt AI. Bungie has said that they will be much harder, and if they are as formidable and vaunted as they are made out to be, I'd rather tangle with a group Gold Elites than one of them.
