HOIST THE COLORS, GENTLEMEN!
See, thing is... There are a lot of differences between the Brute Plasma Rifle and the Spiker. The biggest, besides one shooting spikes and the other plasma, is that the spiker shoots rounds, as in it has to reload, and if you run out of ammo, youre done until you get more. The PR does have "ammo" of sorts, but it does not have to reload. If you use it in moderation, you will never be caught unable to fire. The only time you get caught with your pants down with the PR is if you let it overheat, which will be the challenge in ODST. Since the Brute PR overheats easier, those people (such as myself) who are dying to use it in ODST will have the challenge of trying to take down 8 Brutes with a PR, without getting stuck staring down 8 Brute Shots, unable to fire while the PRs cool off. Combined with the Spiker, the Brute PR allows diversity into the battlefield of Covenant weapons in ODST.
The only rule for Bungie... Dont put both PRs in the game. Youve brought back the Brute PR for ODST. Leave the Elite one for Halo 3.
Off topic note, anyone who finds themselves in need of a Halo 3 clan, send me a private message.
