Im a little confused, if anyone has read the halo books then you would know that in Halo First Strike that the brutes had a small gun with a blade on it that shot plasma grenades and in the E3 demo they have the same gun but just shoots plasma shots (heard no explosions), whats going on here?

I don't recall the shots in the E3 demo looking like plasma grenades...

they deffinitely shoot grenades, ive seen that several times in various threads, but im not sure if bungie is aiming to tailor the game as an exact replica of the book. Maybe they tried but it turned out to be a disaster( they hit you way too easily and your toast?)

-S

The E3 demo was an alpha of the game. It's likely that the Brute's projectile wasn't ready, yet, so they substituted by giving them plasma guns.

Alternatively, the grenade launcher may have two different kinds of shot.

Then you really didn't read First Strike. The Brutes were wielding Plasma Grenade Launchers. Grace (one of the Spartans) was killed by a grenade launcher.

if they shot grenades, the grenades made absolutely no type of explosion... They also had more colors then the glowing plasma grenades do in the multiplayer pictures...
