i think that the brutes are taking over the hunters [just a thought] and if u watch the E3 2003 gameplay demo when he wacks the brute 3 times when it falls over then the mc shoots him the gun falls out of his hand

maybe i'm wrong, cause no one else seems to point this out, but i think one of the updates mentioned the animators doing the animation for the brute weapon from the perspective of the elite.

i dont think so i think bungie learned how upset people were when u couldnt use the fuel rod gun sword or the tanks so i think they wont make the same mistake

If they do what they did like in halo (no sword/fuelrod cannon) I'll be pissed (I can't get a good comp to handle halo on the comp, and everytime I go to play at a friends house, I still kick their asses. People on comp (in my opinion, don't trash me!) are very easy (or atleast the people I've played.)

watch the E3 2003 Demo. When MC whacks the Brute watch the weapons hand. A Blue flash and the gun is gone. I'm guessing that it is like the Grunts fuel rod cannon fail safes in Halo 1, only not as explosive. Maybe the Covies got smarter and noticed that if a Grunt fies with a Fuel Rod Cannon it'll kill most of the other soldiers in the room.

The E3 demo you are talking about was in 2003, that was OVER A YEAR AGO! That build of the game was nowhere near finished, they hadn't even finished the Brutes AI so they used Grunt AI just so they could show off the Brutes animation! So over the year since that demo I think its possible that Bungie have implemented the gun and it is now usable!
Also I did read in an update that they had finished the animations of the Brute gun from a first person perspective!
....Give me time and I shall find the quote!
