Wow you think a chaotic "Brute" should be in MultiPlayer? Sorry that would be only good for Machinima.
Ever heard of changing game code? You don't see Elites yell when they're stuck with a plasma grenade in multiplayer.

Well it's not really as much changing game code as it is just adding a new player model to multiplayer. A skin if you will. Regardless though it would be alot of work to perfect the hitboxes so they're identical to SPARTANs. In addition it would break the somewhat existant canon in multiplayer. Notice how they added the elites into multiplayer only when they allied with the humans. It would be pretty weird fighting along side a brute. Unless they added a faction vs faction mode (covenant vs unsc). I just don't think this would ever happen.

Hi, i will upload any video YOU want onto YouTube for free! All you have to do is leave me a message!

No. That's my explanation.

I suck at timelines, so i could be wrong. But isn't the battle of reach before brutes became a part of the covenant? (Or at least before they started fighting for the covenant) If so, then i would say no, because there wouldnt be any in campaign. I was all for it in halo 3......

  • 06.27.2009 12:43 PM PDT

They've been part of the Covenant for a while. They've mostly just been Spec OPs though

You could use elites in Halo 2, when they weren't allied with humans.

They were only commandeering ships i believe. They weren't fighting on the front lines until november 2552. So yes, if they were in the game you most likely would not be seeing them in campaign.

No. They'd look dwarvish.

Nah, they were in the Covenant before the war even began.

They indeed alied with the humans during Halo 2. Halo 3 and halo 2 were i believe a matter of days apart, and at the start of halo 3 you were allied.

I may be wrong, but i believe that at the beginning of halo 3 only the arbiter was allied with the humans. I dont remember any times in halo 2 that you were allied.

They were only bodyguards, protecting the higher-ups. The SPARTANS encountered them in First Strike, if I remembered that right. Later, when the Elites left, they became the main infantry next to the Grunts.

That's not the point, the point is that Bungie can make Brutes smaller just like they made Elites smaller.

Oh, yeah. I forgot that the last level of halo 2 was the elite revolution. For some reason i thought it was between games. My bad.

The only way we play as brutes is if you play as a brute in the campaign. And you won't.

Saying they would "look retarded" is not a vaild reason to keep them out of multiplayer.

Of course they can. The point is wether or not it will look completely retarded, and wether or not people will like it.

The EOD helmet looks stupid, but it's in the game.

Some people might like being a Brute in multiplayer, they have tons of armour to choose from, so it would be good for customisation.

I know right. That didn't stop Epic from keeping the entire cast of Gears of War out of the Multiplayer that wont stop Bungie
