it would only create more inconsistencies. People always complained about the differences between elite and spartans, why add the brutes to the mix... The multiplayer is more fun, and skill needed when you don't have to worry about why u didnt get that kill...
Why do u think gamebattles banned the use of elites during MLG matches (not the playlist).I'm one of those people who prefers fun to obsession over balance or canon, particularly in multiplayer. It never seems to occur to anyone that it doesn't really matter if the characters aren't identical gameplay-wise. Each model having certain advantages and disadvantages adds variety, and a true master of the game would understand these differences and use them to their benefit.
But of course, Halo fans are obsessed with the word "balance", and will feverishly blurt it out when anyone suggests making any change to the game. I suspect that many of these people do not truly understand the meaning of the word.
However, if you want to drag balance into it, Brutes are probably closer to humans than Elites. Their stature is very close to that of a Spartan, where the Elite form differs greatly with its "crouched" stance. If anything, Elites should be replaced with Brutes, although I would never support it. Many people love Elites, and this would be contrary to my whole personal choice argument.

I want a Halo 2 Brute for multiplayer. Power Armor is -blam!-.That raises a whole new topic of discussion. What armour permutations would the Brute model have? I would suggest the following:
-Power armour (Default)
-Halo 2 armour
-Honour guard armour (could also be implemented for Elites)
-Stealth armour
-Chieftain armour
Any other ideas?
