Alright I know that I already made a topic like this but when the hotness came it got lost in Bungie's bathroom. So now i bring it back to life!
In halo 2 i realy don't think there will be a covie civil war, but if so who would win elites or brutes. IF it was 3 on 3 with weapons elites would kill but if it was without weapons or just 1 on 1 brutes would ripe the elites apart.
Well don't just sit there what do you think.

Elites are definetly smarter so if there are no weapons, they could probably throw a rock at a brute and kill it. Also, Elites have shields.

Well of right now, nobody could tell who could win, because we haven't seen the brute in action yet.But, if i had to choose right now, i would probably go with the elite, because i have seen it fought before and they are pretty smart and they can fight well, but i guess we will have to all wait and see.

they said in OXM that elites and brutes may have some brawls, but no civil wars or rebelion are confirmed. and in my opinion, a covie civil war doesnt make sence.

Anywho, brutes would probably win a 1v1 fight, because of there slug throwers and rusty swords. But the elites would most likely outnumber the brutes. either way, ill be watchin them duke it out, then attack after one side wins.

An elite would kick a brutes ass, weapons or not, you forget that the Elites are alot more agile, and it mayy not seem like it, but Elites are an equal match for the chief, brutes are not. Elites aren't second in the covanent hiearcy for nothin

ok guys seriously, before making these threads or stating your opinion, please go read the halo books, in this case Halo: First Strike. in that book is where the mc first meets the brutes and if you read it you'd know that you're are insane to think that a brute is less of a killing machine then an elite, in any scenario. the only way elites would defeat brutes is to out number them. the reason why brutes werent in halo 1 is because they are sacred gaurdians of the covenants holyest places. they arent common soldiers or commanders, they are brutes, and they have no equal in the covenant when it comes to raw killing ability, they even over power the mc's mjolnoir armor.

I have read the halo books, and i'm not sayin that the brute isn't a badass killing machine, but the Elite is higher than the brute in the whole covanent hiearcy for a reason, the Brute has power, the Elite has power, the Brutecan pick up a wort hog and throw it, Elites can't, but what Elites can do is skillfuly dodge the worthog, and counter the Brute before he couldsay food-nipple

As said before, if you read the books, the only way the chief nearly killed that brute was when he put the gernade in its belt thing or whatever it was, the cheif had already made the damn thing's chest cave in and the brute still came after the cheif like nothing had happened, i think the brutes could take on three elites hand to hand because all th brute has to do, say for intsance this gets to be a hand to hand fight, the brute must wait for the elite to throw a punch grabs its arm and let the ass-kicking begin. I bet the brute could even rip a few elites to peices and then piss on them. What the brute lacks in speed, it makes up for with BRUTE strength.And then, the brute's gun would just tear through elites like butter. Why do you think they chose the brute to guard all the religious areas of the covenant, because they'll kick everything's ass that's why. Screw elites, brutes rule.

what about those new elites...umm forgot their names...like spec-ops elites or something.... also the elites mouth looks that much scarier. I know brutes are wayyy stronger but elites are far smarter. I think one bite from an elite on the brutes neck would kill it pretty good...


but then again vice versa for the brutes...

if an elite even got close enough to bite the damn brute, the brute would probaby rip the elite's head off. No way the elites could get out of a brute's grasp.

I think an elite would win, dont forget about the books, sure the brute was there in a one to one match but so was an elite. When they entered the ship's brig an elite almost sliced MC up.
