Elites for the win

Wrong,Jackals were the first seen by humans as jackals raided human ships (non-military) But yes Brutes were the first recorded encounters Like on harvest.

Yes elites are smarter but they don't use the brute shot everyone hates getting hit by brute shot in legendary in kills you in 2 shots. Or the brute chiefmans always with a fuel rod gun or a gravity hammer or a turret and sometimes with invencibility (i like to kill them to take the invencibilty).

I prefer elites because sometimes they drop energy swords.But they always use plasma rifle.Not brute shot or spiker (they are better).

In conclusion: GRUNTS are better.

Sangheili, nobody has to answer this question really its obvious,they have Respect for anything they fight, as what they fight is another warrior as themselves, they are strongly political whereas Jiralhanae are Very impatient And Over use their Brute force, Sangheili Are formidable opponents in Both Ranged and Melee and to tell the truth 'Elites' can easily out match 'Brutes' as they are far smarter and Much Better Opponents.

We would have to see brutes at some point if the game goes into operation First Strike. Only for a little bit but still....

I would prefer to fight Elites.

Brutes werent used by the Prophets yet, assuming that it takes place before/during the fall of Reach. Which all the evidence points to....

I prefer brutes 2 fight elites 2 work with cause brutes kill the other eneimes and get rid of marines but keep the O.D.S.T they rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

cant be both because brutes were not in the covenant at this time


wrong. brutes have been in the covenant for a very long time before the fall of reach. it was just that the prophets used elites as front line combatants because

they're smarter
have recharable shields
looked cooler

brutes just didn't fight in the army very much.

Well I want to see some Brutes but Elites are great, especially in Halo CE.

We want to fight aliens, not creatures that bear huge similarities to apes/monkeys.

Elites were the PERFECT enemy for Halo, a similar shielding system to the MJOLNIR system, intellect and authority, everyone loves them.

The ONLY reason I got excited when I heard about reach was the prospect of having another Elite based game, possibly without the flood too.

I'd pay 60 bucks for an elite game... but honestly, if ODST is just more brute missions, I think I'll save my money for Reach and hope it delivers what we're hoping for.

Go Rams and Missouri!

Brutes, the power armor is more interesting.


If we fought Brutes (the ones with power armor) in Halo 1, and Elites weren't introduced until Halo 2, then everybody would want to fight Brutes instead of Elites.

Reach was fought with Elites for the most part.

Since its a prequel to Halo CE (I think), theirs no need to get brutes since they were only in Halo 2 and Halo 3. Bring the Halo CE Elites back.

How many times must we say this?


JUST BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T SEEN DOESN'T MEAN THEY WEREN'T THERE IN THE CANON STORY.


Brutes have been around since Harvest.
