From their mentioning in the books (and yes I know they're stronger in the books to be more realistic) Brutes are faster and stronger than even Masterchief, so they'll be tougher than Elites. I imagine there will be much fewer of them than Elites, like Hunters were in Halo. Regardless, a Brute did NOT tear a spartan in half in FS. Grace was killed when she was too close to the explosions caused by the Brute's gun, pretty much gutting her in half. The Brute did however nearly choke MC to death, he had to use wrestling moves and tactics to get the upperhand, not strength.
