8===D O: lol

Dunno, it shouldn't be. I mean if an ODST hit a brute in the back, the Brute would just turn round and destroy him

Typical Halo nerd. Move along.

Ahh, the famous Spine Breaker! For the sake of gameplay, maybe. But IDK. I'm just looking forward to holding a Brute Shot and seeing what an ODST looks like holding it!

Hmm, and ODST doing a melee. Well, logically speaking, it would probably take many melees to the back to kill a brute. If his armor was on, I doubt and ODST could break it with a melee.

I'm not sure... maybe it kept the game balanced. Maybe Brutes have 'soft spots' on their back. Maybe...
The list goes on. I'm not sure why, but I feel it is a Brute's one big weakness in Halo 3. Maybe (here I go again) the Halo ODST melee looks like a punch, but actually breaks their necks? Tha's what I'd go for. But it's always fun Backsmacking 4x Overshields when they're like WT-?!

I saw a video where the rookie punched a brute but the armor on the brute didn't come off and in halo 3 it normally dose.

Maybe assassinations should take two or three punches, but you can punch faster because you have less bulky of armor as an ODST.

maybe the point is not about melee to the back but headshots kind of like you can melee but it is usually useless and better to shoot from afar?

Brutes are over 9feet tall and weigh a bit over 1,000lbs... melee shouldn't be too useful against them, but more useful against Grunts and Jackals.

You get the impression that Bungie want you to fight from a distance where ever possible, taking on a Brute in hand to hand is probably gonna be suicidal.

I wouldn't see a very logical problem IF they let you get assasinations on Brutes but the Brute will probably have to have like weak if any armor.
