To respond to an earlier statement "The brutes died after 2 shots to the belly in the E3 demo", the brutes in the demo were heavily damaged only seconds prior by two cars blowing up beside them. If a brute can survive that, they must be tough S.O.B.'s, even if it only took two shots after that. I mean, that blast in the demo would have taken out an elite at best. I doubt that Bungie is going to make Brutes powerful enough to kill the Chief with a single blow. That sounds unreasonable. Maybe in Legendary difficulty, but seriously, they won't be too much of a problem. What you need to worry about is that huge monster that Frankie mentioned could flip a warthog. Although that monster might not make it into the final cut.
