Oh hell, now the brutes have energy shields. As if the regular brutes with normal armor werent hard enough, now they have rechargable shields. not to mention WE dont. thats some scary crap right there. kinda wish bungie would keep the old version, since we are alot weaker this time around. legendary might be a serious pain in the arse, like in halo2 :\ any thoughts?

I actually like the challenge... Halo 3's campaign was a little too easy for me, even on Legendary. =) Not only that, the Brutes would be more like the Elites.

Reach needs to be patched. It's the truth.

The Brutes are more like Elites, but they will never replace them

Anyone got any idea what the bright light dots are on the Brutes? Weak sports in armor maybe?

Let's hope that the AI is as advanced as the technology they use.

No, I'm guessing they're the shield lights that you can see on the sides of Spartans and Elites.

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

Brutes always had energy shields in Halo 3. They even recharged in Halo 3 just like the Spartans and Elites. Only after you knock the shield down were you able to destroy the power armor and prevent the shields from recharging. So Brutes in ODST appear to be the same as featured in Halo 3.

Though the AI is supposed to be a little less aggressive and more defensive.

If they can beat ODST on Legendary, so can we. I'm up for a good challenge.
