They don't suck that bad at aiming... they would destroy me in one melee attack...about 10 would be able to melee you at one time..

I would choose hunters, because it, for me at least, would be the most fun, especially since I refuse to use their weak spot, so it takes a LOT of fire power to bring them down...(I'm assuming infinite ammo(with reloads) because otherwise you could not kill all the grunts or hunters or whatever.)


And even if say 50 hunters die in first round of friendly fire, and you get into melee range to start attacking their weak points, you will be attacked by basically a solid wall of forward plating. Basically, the only way to win, allowing for friendly fire, would be to let them kill themselves down to about 20 (if you don't die in the process....) and then move in with the pistol. Hunters are inaccurate, but think about 200 inaccurate heavy explosive rounds. You will die almost definitley...

...I think both of those would be cool and fun...but the little flood are buggers they bugger the blood out of ya and that many would end up being a big explosion of baloons..i thin the other flood would be cool as long as theires no carriers....and hunters would be CRAZY!

They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

Been here 6 years, been blacklisted 6 times, that's why I'm not Mythic.

TO CLEAR SOMETHING UP: THE BRUTES ARE STRONGER THAN ELITES AND HUNTERS. THE ONLY REASON THEY DIED EASY IN E3 2003 WAS BECAUSE THEY HAD GRUNT AI. IF YOU READ FIRST STRIKE THE BRUTES WERE TWICE AS STRONG AS ELITES AND TWICE AS FAST. SO ALL OF YOU THAT THINK THE BRUTE IS EASY TO KILL THEY HAD GRUNT AI. and no my caps lock button is not broken.

i dont think brutes are stronger than hunters. they're much smaller, i mean they can ride ghosts, they're the same size as elites. and wasnt tatarus just a really massive brute? i thought elites and brutes are pretty much the same as elites have their energy shields they balance out very similarly.

i'd like to hear what the biggest hunters are like....

I think the brutes are stronger than elites and hunters, but can't take the amount of fire power as a sheilded elite or a hunter(if your attacking head on against main armor). Also, the AI is about responding and actions, should'nt affect the hit points and armor that the brutes have, unless that was also modified. The one thing I'm wondering, though, is if the brutes are stronger than hunters, what happens if they melee you when you jump? When hunters do that, you usually end up at quite a distance away, sometimes even at the other end of the room...


Also, FireFerret, I choose hunters for fun. If I spent a week trying, I would be suprised if I even once won that match...

If you choose hunters you will die. Think about it. The pistol wouldn't help you. That thing doesn't hold enough rounds to drop them all. so they wait and let you drop your pistol ammo out, then they nuke you to hell and back. Simple as that. Because three fuel rod blasts= death on any difficulty. And if the remaining hunters (over 150) fired, then it'd be over for the MC.

Thx u Almstask8r515, I am sick of people who do not have thier facts correct, Like BentFishy. Until you have read the books, do not speculate on info that there is already facts for. As well FlameDude, Brutes ARE STRONGER than hunters. As stated before, they are a blur as they are twice as fast as elites, and they can rip hunters apart with thier BARE HANDS. Hopefully, you people now realize what Brutes will be like in the game. And they can take the 3 clips to the chest.

EDIT-
idestroy0, it is not about not taking the hits, its about practically no HARMFUL physical damage to the Brutes. They are stronger than the hunters PERIOD. As well about the AI, what bungie did is they took the umm whatever you want to call it RENDER if you will of a brute and placed it on a grunt.. TADAH! There you go, a ultra weak brute that did not have any special features or details.

I see, so they just changed the model for a grunt, what was said before made it seem that they just used a diffrent AI on a brute...one thing though, that means that the grunts should be able to board vehicles and drive ghosts, which is highly uncharacteristic of grunts, unless that was all fully scripted....


Also, I still stand by the hunters, although you would die almost every time because of the damage, but that is probably just because I love hunters.....

hunters would be best. you just run around like crazy for a few miniutes, let them hit eachother with plasma butsts, mabye untill most are dead. then when there are less than 120, i would give them all a taste of my pistol.

anybody that voted hunters would get their but kicked. though easy in 1 or 2 imagine 30 or more fuel rods flying through the air constantly. you would be dead so fast. if you ever got four or more hunters together you know what im talkin about (aotcr on the last part (make the two hunters on the bridge fall off, then lure the other two together, then go up and get the other ones to fall down to the first level (try it without a pistol))) im goin with the grunts, at least their attention span is so short you can leave for about 30 seconds and come back and theyll b asleep

So what if you think brutes are stronger I know there stronger my friends dad works at gameinformer and his dad said that bungie was gonna make most brutes carry heavy weapons like the coveanant sniper rifle.
