Phoenix is dead, long live Phoenix!
Is it?

If they stick to the lore it will be Elites, the Brutes weren't present until High Charity came, way after the Humans left Reach.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

The Sangheili are a proud and noble race, I would be honored to rival them in combat once more.

I would rather fight elites in Halo: Reach, but getting rid of the brutes means no spiker, mauler, bruteshot, gravity hammer, or spike grenades.

He threw down a glove you made the mistake
Of picking it up now you're gone
The choosing of guns or fighting with swords
The choice of weapons is done
He'll tear you apart as soon as you start
You know you don't have a chance.

Paul or elites!

I liked killing elites, but I keep this idea exclusive to campaign. Elites make MP horrible.

  • 06.10.2009 2:07 PM PDT

According to Fall of Reach, the humans do not encounter Elites till John fights them on a station orbiting Reach at the very end of the novel. Basically Halo:CE is only the second time any Spartans have fought elites. If the game follows the novel then really the only enemies would be grunts, jackals, and hunters.

But I would like to fight elites again.

well, the brutes were the first covenant race that the humans encountered... (they attacked harvest)


But if I remember correctly their attack did not go so well and then is that when the Elites came and then started kicking ass? Correct me if I am wrong.


The brutes actually did alot of damage. I think that the Elites came after what was left of the humans evacuated

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....


The brutes showed up only on the big covie refit & repair station

  • 06.10.2009 2:20 PM PDT

i would like to see both elites and brutes it would be harder and it would be cool to fight both at the same time

FTD

France team dark

I WANT THE HALO 1 PISTOL BACK!!!

Also, i vted elite, but brute can put up a good fight in halo 2.

Give them the gameplay of halo 3, but the hp of halo 2 and I think it could be fun.

I'd have to say Elites, was it just me or did they seem smarter? Like if their shields went down they would drop back and hide until they got them back. Brutes... well, they seemed to think it was a good idea to pop off all their armor and charge at you directly with their weakest point (the top of the head). Not exactly the brightest bulb on the Covenant Christmas tree.

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.


Pretty sure Elites were the enemy then. And I agree you you, as the Brutes kinda just ran in circles when their shields went down. The Elites always took cover by the nearest obstacle. And the brutes were always throwing spike grenades at walls in front of themselves, killing/wounding several more and then yelling at you for "Killing their pack brother."

Elite's would seemingly be the most logic choice here. Although I prefer Brutes gameplay wise do I not think we should see Brutes more than once or twice in the game. The Sangheili were they're main leaders on the battlefield during the battle for Reach, commanding the hordes of Jackals and Grunts. And I'm really into that, back to Halo:CE basics ;)

John was not in any battles involving the Elites till near the end but other Spartans and other UNSC forces were.

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.


i loved how in HAlo CE you could melee fallen enemies and their blood would squirt every where

if you go back to the halo history the enemy in the new game must be elite, because brutes are not known until after halo 1, (halo fist strike) and reach falls before halo 1.
