Subject: Brutes in matchmaking?

Well, watching the gameplay footage from E3, it looked like the Brutes had shields. That was all that was really needed to make them playable in matchmaking anyway. And there is a lot of brute armor in the game anyway, so you could easily customize your brute to your liking. That would really add another dimension to everyone being their own unique character. Post your thoughts on this, remember this is just a speculation.

I'll hold the rope..... and the camera. 'Cause I'm a multitasker like that.

As agile as a cougar on a young man.

Ok, if you say so boss!

I think this should be in the Halo 3 forum but yet it's still slightly ODST related. Yes I love brutes always wanted to be one. I don't think they can add it due to the disc or hardware or something that somebody told me.

Even though that would be a cool idea.. there won't be anything new coming out for matchmaking when ODST comes out.

RAWR!

i think it would be cool to be a brute in matchmaking but they would have to make brutes run faster.

They don't in campaign because then it would be amazingly hard to kill then on legendary because sometimes you have to wait it out and then attack.

this is the reason why they are not in matchmaking

I remember reading something on Brutes in matchmaking, that they were originally suppossed to be playable characters (like spartans and elites), but they were pulled out due to...something.

Even though this would never happen... It'd be interesting if you could be a brute... even though their shields don't recharge, they could be stronger, and there could also be like an "armor health bar" which after depleted you then begin losing health. Just a thought.

forget the brutes how awesome would grunts be?!? can you imagine seeing this little grunt running in with duel SMGs and completly own everyone? wont happen but still...i would laugh

yeah, maybe they could be stronger but not regain health, so it could be a fair trade off.

Dyor' Docuree (2nd in command of the powerhouse, The Sangheili Army)

no way, I already thought about this millions of times before. Think about this scenario for a little bit.

People going into matchmaking playing as a brute, there, people get the battle rifle back. Now think about the size of a brute for a second. Brutes are huge, just plain huge. They would be almost impossible NOT to hit with the battle rifle. They would take in so much fire from other players that you would literally get slammed.

Think about how much easier it is to hit an elite than spatan. Just think about what would happen if it was a brute.

No offence, it's a cool idea, but the brute just isn't playable. It just wouldn't work.

So what? Jackals have holdable shields, so why aren't they in matchmaking? The thing is, having a jackal, or brute in matchmaking just wouldn't be fun any more.

Mabie playable in Firefight, like elites in Halo 3.

Its possible, since they only have to balance out the HP

They do. In ODST the Brutes have their normal Armor + Energy shield who do recharge.

But they won't be in matchmaking since there is no matchmaking in ODST.

They could be made to act like Elite and spartan armor in multiplayer.

I agree, extra health doesn't cover for recharging sheilds if fire is being heavily drawn. You run out of sheilds just as quickly but don't recover.
I would also like to mention that in campaign in Halo 3 when the brutes armor is destroyed he goes berserk. If that takes effect in ODST, you will have no choise but to charge.

no brutes should not be in machmaking cuz its a simulation to make more spartens and make elites better
