i get a weird feeling that they'll be susceptible to needles, like the needles will drill right into their armor and explode

No one has mentioned the blade they carry strapped to their back which has yet to be seen. It will make up-close encounters much more dangerous. And meeting one in an enclosed tunnel much more scary then one far away out in the open when a Battle Rifle or Sniper Rifle are in your arsenal.

ok guys are u all stupid. if any of you read halo first strike (which is aproved by halo so it has to be close to true) the master chief could barely take out 2 of them because HIS ASSAULT RIFLE BULLETS DID NOT EFFECT THEM and not to mention one of the spartans (i forget which) was RIPPED IN HALF BY ONE. SOME HOW I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT THEY CAN BE DISPATCHED BY LIKE 3 PISTOL SHOTS AND A FEW PUNCHES!!!!!!!

Didn't you realize they make the book seemed more realistic to immerse you into the plot? The same was with hunters, in the book they could hardly take em down, and what do you know, in the game we shoot em once and down they drop. Not to mention the Master Chief's shields dropped MUCH faster in the book.

uhh his bullets did hurt the brute, but it did say that he was so set on killing the chief that he didnt care, but a whole clip for a battle rifle has got to mean something

Well if you want to look for ideas of were to shoot a Brute to kill it in a few shots or less, look at one of the pictures of it on Bungie.net and examine it to look for clues of where the weak parts of the armor are.


screw that just empty the clip

well as you saw from the 03 demo brutes dont have shielding(do they?) all it takes is a few pops to the chest with the butt of any gun and maybe a bullet or two teh finish em... I say brutes are the least of our worries...

yeah, but the brutes from the book were. I bigger problem then hunters and elites put together. (even though one shot kills hunters)

I'm sticking with my Crotch shot inst-kill idea what mans wants to live after you've shot him there.

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.

In the e3 demo it looked kinda dissapointing, but it was grunt AI so mabye theres more in store and maybe more changes on the way.

hmm..are brutes even covies? I thought they where some sort of enslaved race...?



all races except the Elites and Prophets are enslaved races.


NEDUS, where does it say that all of the races but the elites and prophets are enslaved? Like, im sure some of the covies dont want to be in the war, but.....its in religion isnt it? I mean....isnt that the whole reason the covs are attacking the humans?(religion) there a collective, not slaves and masters? (plz correct me if im wrong)

WOW, thats actually quite the hypothesis, sounds like it might work, especially with the needler being as strong is it will be in H2
Kudos

10 battle rifle shots?! i hope not cause that means you would have to unload about half a clip just to pop his cap off. What if you just shoot him in the face he cant have armor on his face, can he?

Yes, taken into consideration but....remember the shield wielding HUNTER, that armor was inpenatrable right? So why couldnt a Brutes helmet withstand at least 4shots????

Well, if you look at the pics, the helmet pretty much covers his whole face except for this mouth, kinda like the elite...
