Hey, if you watch the E3 2003 single player demo the brute is only seen firing a shot with it's gun once. The shot is straight and releases a blueish color. This leads me to believe that the brutes weapon is a sort of plasma shotgun..... Anyone want to agree or disagree?

I doubt that the Brute Weapon is plasma based . Look how primitive it looks!

well, as Bungie is upgrading the looks of some of the old weapons from Halo, its very possible that the Brutes are just carrying a modified plasma rifle (or one of the new weapons from the cove, like that purple thing with a kind of scope :P). But, as I looked closer, i remembered the plas rifle to have a much faster rate of fire than the one in the 2003 demo. So u might be right

i agree... i saw a concpet art of a Brute carrying something with like a blade or something :P

plus, its MOST LIKELY not a grenade launcher cuz :

1. if it really is one (not an rpg), grenades cant fly in such a straight line
2. why dont the things explode?
3. and the rate of fire is too fast to be a grenade launcher

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

In First Strike its described as a grenade launcher (maybe not as powerful as an actual plasma grenade.... nor as sticky.... think more along the lines of plasma charge launcher).

They're shot more than once in the demo.

Who says futuristic grenade-throwing ballistic weapons can't throw grenades in straighter lines (although I do think they arc a little bit)?

You don't get to see any of the "charges" hitting anything in the demo...

Who says futuristic grenade-throwing ballistic weapons can't have a fairly decent rate of fire?

Little do all of you forget that that was merely a demo? Anything in that Demo could be altered or cut for good. In the books, it is described as a grenade launcher so that only leads me to assume that the Brute will most likey have a grenade laucher!? The author of the book obviously has close ties with bungie and they probably want to make it, so the books and the games all match up>

I read the books, but I dont think Bungie will kep it a grenade launcher. You guys are taking that too literaly, Nylund just used grenade launcher to help him describe it, because its probably like nothing the human race has in their arsenal, and a grenade launcher is the closest thing to compare it to. Not to mention it was from John's point of view, and grenade launcher was probably the first thing that came to mind when he saw it in combat.

Brute Slug-Thrower.
"Very little is known about this weapon, only that the Covenant Brutes seem to favor this weapon to others. It seems to fire some kind of energy grenade at very high velocities. It also has a very sharp blade on the underside of it that seems to be used as a melee weapon"
:p ;)

I think they told us that it was a grenade launcher. Ask Sishka. He'll probably know.

No its on Xbox and PC but on Xbox and PC you cant get them in SP but in Multi for PC you can and the grunts use them in the last few levels of the game.

They use fuel rod guns toward the end of the first game on both xbox and PC. You can't pick them up though.
