I'd rather have the Elites. In Halo: CE, the player actually feared them (especially the Zealots). They were intelligent, strong warriors that would take time to kill on Legendary. The Brutes of Halo 3 are nothing like them. Even the Chieftains are easy to take down on Legendary, as long as you have the right weapon for the right type of Chieftain.

Well seeing as Brutes werent even mentioned in Reach or Halo CE I'd have to say Elites plus there heads being down like they are make it the more to try to score a headshot from behind =D

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

hahaha truee!!ever since they started using Brutes insteed of Elites, how long did the Covenant last??less then 3weeks!Elites from Halo 1 and 2 were great..they should have the Gold Elites and Ultras(white) harder to kill in Halo Reach.Brutes were just to easy to kill and plain out stupid

Elites, because they're the best videogame baddies ever invented. Especially the Halo 1 Elites. I loved the twanging sound bullets made as they rebounded from an Elite's shield in that game!

Oh, and because they didn't speak English, meaning that there was no trace of humanity in them. This made them more alien, and more hateful. What's better than an alien bad guy that you can hate?

I love killing Elites, but. Personally, i feel for the flashbacks we should kill Elites, and then the Brutes show up, so about 3-4 hours after the slipspace EMP, there'd be little Elites and Brutes. So when you're the Rookie you'd fight Brutes but in most of the flashbacks Elites.

focusing on elites with the occasional brute encounter
maybe 1 encounter with elites and brutes because then we could see how they interact during a battle (maybe one of the brutes hits an elite and they all start attacking each other

Halo is no longer under Bungie's care. Discuss that here.

I'm usually considered as "that one idiot that actually liked Sonic '06".

Elites, hands down.

A soldier should never be honored for something that was expected

brutes were too strong..it took forever to take them down.and they just little -blam!-es when they berserk.

Elites were basic,and smart enough to hide when shields go.Brute force will get you nowhere.u need the brains with it.thats y master pwns.Cortana has the brains and chief has the brawn XD

Well wouldn't it make sense for elites sense the brutes weren't put in power yet... although i would love to see some brutes since the elites would still out rank them and boss them around and put whipped cream on their hands and tickle there big ugly faces while they sleep... stupid brutes

  • 06.07.2009 4:23 PM PDT

also the elites were more polite they had a reason for trying to kill us all and when we found common ground we(USNC) settled our diffrences and teamed up...the brutes are just angry doodoo heads who kill people because there angry

i believe at this point in the timeline brutes were more of ceremonial guard (frist strike) / not main military force.
Elites will be in Reach, its guaranteed. IF brutes are also included i do not think you will see them fighting side by side, but more likely they will be assigned to different duties / groups. It makes more sense as they dont particularly like each other, therefore their separation would be sensible.

It is what it is.

Here's to hoping that Halo: Reach is indeed set around the time of the Fall of Reach and the Elites are still the bad guys.


It is set during the battle of reach as shown here.
