Subject: How Elites and Brutes should be in Halo Reach.

YOU'RE STILL ALIVE?!?

I think this is how Elites and Brutes should be put in Halo Reach:

1. They should both be in it.
2. The Elites need to be smarter and more skilled (aiming, dodging, etc.) than the Brutes.
3. The Brutes need to be stronger, harder to kill, and less common (less common than Elites, more common than Hunters) than Elites. They should also have the same armor and ranks in Halo 2.
4. Elites were more in charge than Brutes at the time, so we shouldn't see Brutes telling Covenant what to do unless there are no Elites around.
5. Brutes should not have shields.

If you have good suggestions I might add them.

3 - brutes didn't have ranks and armors in H2 (besides the honor guard/regular brutes variants).

also, I don't want ANY brutes on reach.
if bungie includes them, I'm rageboycotting the sp.

They have ranks in Halo 2. Minor, Major, Captin, Honor Guard, Chieften (Tarturus).

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I would like both. Not the stupid Elites and Brutes from Halo 2 and 3, but the cunning Elites from Halo 1 and the brutal Brutes from Halo: First Strike.

I don't want Brutes in Reach, but if they are in Reach I want them the way you described.

In the book, Brutes are not encountered, so I'm not sure how they would fit in.
But yes, Brutes should be Brutal, and Elites should be smart.

We only see one POV in First Strike, though, Alpha Team's. And they're not with a Spartan-259... my guess is most of what we will see will not be from the novels.

Nothing is better than gaming through the day, into the night, then back into the day. It's like when you finally push that power button you feel like you've accomplished nothing, but at the same time, you can't stop smiling.

Whenever I see your posts Cheehwawa, I can't help but think how similar we both think. We first encountered Brutes in Halo 2 near the end of the game, and in the books John meets them on the Covenant battle station Unyielding Hierophant. So Brutes actually existed far before we meet them in the games, so it's completely probable that we might fight them in Reach, seeing as we only see the Battle of Reach from one point of view.

you are a good translator
Idiot can be a hard language to learn, but once you get it down, everything becomes so clear! The whole world will make sense to you.

This is how a Brute should look. Terrifying.
