Brutes also have some pretty neat armour by the way - there's Captain, Minor, Stalker, and a lot more.

I would not mind being able to play as a Brute. To the guy who said that Brutes one-hand most weapons, so do the Elites- look at the Plasma Pistol, Rifle, Fuel Rod Gun, Rocket Launcher, etc. Does it change gameplay? No, I would not say so. Yeah, they would have to mess around with hitboxes, but does that really matter? It is a whole new game, they could make it work if they wanted to.

Which would wreak havok for hitboxes. All of the brutes have ridiculous armor. It would be near impossible now that i think about it to balance all of them out.

Elites dual-wielded in Campaign. The Brutes don't.

Just do what Bungie did with the katana? Make it -i dunno- not count toward the hitbox?

You make it sound like it's impossible to make them dual weild with a few changes.

Then the character would be bigger than the hitbox!

Oh no! A part of the helmet that is obviously not part of the Brutes head doesn't count towards the hitbox, what will we do?!

Look at the Security helmet, it's bigger then the Mark VI helmet but has the exact same hitbox.

Technically, that's what the Katana is. And plus, some Elite body parts are slightly bigger than the character. One more thing: the character's going to be scaled down a little anyway, so what the heck?

Then brutes have an advantage over other players. I don't really think you're getting anywhere with this dude...

Uh not really. The security armor pales in comparison to how large the features of the brute armor are.

You mean the Chieftain helmet, and the spoilers on the other ones?

No, the Security helmet is nearly double the size of the Mark VI helmet, and it has the exact same hitbox.

The Elites have no hitbox on their neck so they are harder to headshot and yet you're fine with that and not a helmet?

But by the looks of things, Reach will feature a whole new version of multiplayer. Why would it need a beta test if it's the same thing we have in Halo 3?
Why did Halo 3 have a beta test if it's basically the same thing we have in Halo 2?

I wouldn't mind Brute (and Flood combat forms of Brutes, Spartans, Elites) scaled to the size of the Spartans, with regen shields, and the same strength/agility/animations/etc. as the Spartans and Elites.
Ummm... SPARTANs can't be infected
Since when?

I think you are overexaggerating the difference between Mark VI and Security.
Here, a comparison.

Is the Security helmet bigger then the Mark VI helmet? Yes or no?

I wouldn't say 'nearly double the size'.

On a different subject: Brutes are 70 cm. higher than Spartans. That's almost 1/3. If you'd scale them down that much, they'd look retarded. And yes, I know what you said about that.
Anyways, if they would scale them down, we wouldn't have the whole head size problem anymore. They would only have small baby heads.

They easily could. After all, it is a NEW game, and we are not talking about Campaign, we are talking about multiplayer. Anyways, for all we know you can play as anyone in Reach.

  • 06.27.2009 1:28 PM PDT

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

I hope they don't have the spartan hit boxs', if they are in reach for MP at all, look at the Elites in SWAT... YEA BUNGIE ITS A PROBLEM!

  • 06.27.2009 1:29 PM PDT

no. no brutes before halo cE:

Still, it wouldn't hurt to add Brutes to the multiplayer.

The bottom line really in my opinion is "if you don't like them, don't use them."
