if you have read the last halo book First Stike you learn that the brutes are stronger than Master Cheif (aka John). will that mean that these s.o.b.s could kill MC with one hit to the head?

Well if not one hit to the head then they should be able to kill you one hit from behind like MC can

Do this again and I'll brand your ass with the banning prod

A brute can rip a hunter in half.

Brutes are pretty bad ass. They are stronger than MC in First Strike but you have to remember all the crap MC had just gone through before this. He wasn't 100%. He is also getting the new Mark armor so by the time you have to square off with a Brute, MC should be up to par with them.

However, the fact that the Brutes can take a load of damage means you'll have to make sure they stay down, like the flood.

I'm guessing stronger than a Hunter. I'm also going to assume that MC can only take hit from one because he is wearing armor that can take a crapload of damage.

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.

u got to remeber the E3 demo video was just a movie (ie. in the movie, the BR fired only single shots), in the real game, it might take a third of ur BR clip (and yes, it is confirmed that it is 2 shots to the head to kill a brute with a sniper rifle)

Brutes are as strong as Jay Leno's chin is prominent.

That makes them really strong.

I think that they are strong. But MC should be stronger.

The hunters could kick a brutes ass i own the books and they are wrong about the brutes being so strong the author did`nt know what he was talking about he did`nt even know they had fur on there bodies. And it takes 2 shots to crack open ther head gear and one more to kill them so three in the head. A hunter takes 8 on normal 12 on legandary!!

Bungie has already stated that the Brutes were using Grunt A.I. in the E3 2K3 demo because theirs wasnt finished yet (meaning that they are pretty stupid and die easily)

In First Strike a Brute took a full clip of BR ammo and still kept coming. It wasn't until the Chief got on its back, swept out its arms, and put a frag grenade in its belt that it died. I'd say that is the most accurate answer currently. So expect the Brutes to be a -blam!-.

That would be the Brute. November 2002 issue of EGM says "a cross between a gorilla and a rhinoceros"

Ummm.........actually there isnt. Bungie has said nothing at all about that. It sounds like something you or somebody made up.

Oh yeah man I know all about this new unit.

Bungie calls it CENSORED. It has CENSORED weapons and can kick some serious CENSORED ass. The CENSORED looks like CENSORED and man is CENSORED nasty. I mean CENSORED is the CENSORED of Halo 2. Damn dude where have you been? Sad that none of yuo have heard anything about CENSORED.
