Elites are most likely going to be our enemy...so i can make huge puddles of blue blood again! ooo the fun of doing that in Halo: CE.

If you made the pool of blood large enough, the game would lag a little as you walked over it =)

Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.

Just three words.

Wort Wort Wort!!

I don't want to join your group.

Elites all the way. Brutes are -blam!- annoying.

I would rather have Paul than have more brutes.

Lol Paul from the department of storage is beating the brutes.

Oh yeah Elites ftw...

  • 06.06.2009 1:44 PM PDT

The brutes can jump off a cliff and die for all I care, so long as they leave their weapons an ammo in a nice neat pile.

What can I say? I'm a spiker whore.

  • 06.06.2009 1:45 PM PDT

Send me out with a bang...

Elites have been and always will be some of my favorite adversaries in FPS history. No offense to the Brutes but the lack of a rechargering shield and well... style... I just can't enjoy fighting them. The Chieftans were the most interesting but I'll take a Gold Elite any day.

I'd actually like to see Brute and Elite working together. Be funny to see a few fighting and an Elite "accidentally" kill a Brute.


LOL

I want Halo 1 back :(

OMG!! ME TOO!!!

  • 06.06.2009 2:51 PM PDT

Here we are again bro... Just you and me. Same kind of moon same kind of jungle. Real number 10 remember... Whole platoon, 32 men chopped into meat... We walk out just you and me, nobody else. Right on top huh? Not a scratch... Not a f**kin' scratch. You know who ever got you. They'll come back again. And when he does I'm gonna cut your name right into him... I'M GONNA CUT YOUR NAME RIGHT INTO HIM!

A little from column A and a little from column B please.

How about both? They didn't really show much in Halo 2 with the Elites and Brutes working together (whether by choice or otherwise), and I really want to see that dynamic come in Reach somehow. I know some say Brutes weren't used for most military operations early on, but consider that they were used for some. The Spartans encountered one on Reach, in fact.

Anyway, if it's one or the other, Elites, please.

This is a RETICULE, and that is a RETICLE. I'm using the latter to aim. And what are you using?

Elites. They're not only far more likeable than brutes, but also way smarter opponents. Brutes fight just with brute force (no pun intended) while elites fight a lot more tactical and cunningly ... and sacrifice lots of grunts. ^ ^

To be honest, I'd be happy if there weren't any brutes at all. I've always had a strong dislike for opponents that heavily rely on melee in FPS games.

You can't spell "Slaughter" without "Laughter"

I want it to be canonically correct, i.e. Elites. Wait, Brutes were on Reach too, right? Argh I can't remember... I think brutes appeared toward the end of the book....

  • 06.06.2009 3:28 PM PDT

I don't think it's possible for Elites and Brutes to work together. Maybe, but don't they hate each other?

  • 06.06.2009 3:30 PM PDT

Both. The Halo 2 Brutes were so fun to kill. I would love to headshot one while the other goes nuts and tries to pulverize you with it's rampage, I thought it was hilarious.
And who could forget the elites

  • 06.06.2009 3:31 PM PDT

Eat it

Considering Brutes were NOT in the Battle of Reach... I'm gonna have to go with Elites.

I don't really care but I would rather have Elites since they are smart enough not to dive into a pile of their allies when you stick them.

"No man has the right to say to a nation: thus far shalt thou go but no further!"

"Ironic, that the nature of war reveals the true nature of those who wage it"

the brutes are ok but c'mon! The Elites are just so much more... alien. They were scaley looking, had reverse knee joints and mandibles - not to mention 2 thumbs on each hand! Brutes are just the crazy lovechildren of a rhino and a gorrilla.

I demand jackals in a phalanx formation!

I feel the same, but only when they are the only main opponent at any given time. I honestly feel that an encounter with every Covenant enemy we've known thus far simultaneously would be amazing.

Reach. Reach. Reach.

Halo 2 Brutes...X
Halo 3 Brutes ...~
ODST Brutes... Dont Know Yet
Elites In General ... Full of Win Sauce


I liked the Brutes, They Were Diferent. But the Elites Are FAR Better

It really doesn't matter what we would rather have.

  • 06.06.2009 6:51 PM PDT

Considering everyone wants them back and reach would make more sense with elites than with brutes, I'd say we'llbe facing elites, not brutes.
