Which game had the better Brutes, Halo 2 or Halo 3? What was worse, a Shotgun-wielding Brute or a Mauler-wielding Brute?

Halo 2 brutes...FTW

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

The Halo 2 brutes were supposed to be like Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST. Awhile back I remember reading something from Bungie that they completed halo 2 and everything then they forgot the brutes and the deadline was coming soon. So thats all they could get with the brutes. All their armor and weapons was supposed to be in halo 2 but they were last minute and they didnt get to.

Go Rams and Missouri!

Halo 3 Brutes are great. Their berserk mode could be a bit better, but I still love to see those guys fly 50 feet in the air, unlike the Halo 2 Brutes that just ran at you. I also like the armor improvements.

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

I like the look and AI of the Halo 3 brutes, but I prefer how tough they were in Halo 2. So, a bit of mix, really.

Royale with Cheese

The Halo 3 Brute, easily. The Maulers/Shotguns never bothered me with them, since they don't shoot you in the face and punch you a fraction of a second later.

halo 3 brutes FTL halo 2 FTW

The awesome Halo 3 ones, the Halo 2 ones were dumber and were extremely easy to defeat compared to the halo 3 brutes.

  • 07.20.2009 5:08 PM PDT

both. With elites, the halo 2 ones. Alone, the halo 3 ones.
If you're facing elites, you should face brutes that act more beastlike

  • 07.20.2009 5:13 PM PDT

Halo 3 Brutes were harder and I liked more of a challenge! In fact one bezerked and jumped really high and like SPLATTERED my friend! I saved the video to! So Halo 3 Brutes!

Death to rank junkies.

Halo 2 brutes were the better version. If they gave Halo 2 Brutes Halo 3 armor, then it would be fine.

  • 07.20.2009 6:40 PM PDT

Halo 3 brutes. The only thing I liked better of the Halo 2 brutes was their berserk. If Halo 3 brutes had Halo 2 brutes berserk, they'd be the ultimate brute. But I really didn't like the fact that the armor fell of in Halo 3. They were supposed to have regenerating shields (which they did) but why the hell did the armor fall off? Never made sense to me.

The Halo 3 / Halo 3: ODST Brutes. Only because of their awesome looking armor and brutality (No pun intended) :)

  • 07.20.2009 6:47 PM PDT

What! How the heck can you say the Halo 2's brutes were awsome. They were pathetic last thing made and thrown into the game. They were bullet sponges was no fun to shoot them all they did was stand and die then run around hitting stuff. Halo 3 brutes have beserk mode. Try using a plasma pistol charge on one and see what it does.

Golf Wang. Brony.

I like the Halo 2 Brutes for two reasons;
1) They were a counter to the Elites in the Covenant
2) The character of Tartarus was a fine addition.

But I prefer the Halo 3 Brutes I personally thought they were a capable replacement for the Elites. It's just their shields were weak, I mean, they had a slight energy shield over their regular armor. If that armor wasn't there, wouldn't it have recharged? And once the shields are gone they should've went straight to H2 Brute mode.

The jetpack brutes and the Brute Chieftains were great. They looked great, I don't know. I loved them, great Bungie images there.

Halo 2 Brutes.

They just looked more like a beast.

  • 07.20.2009 7:26 PM PDT

Personally the Halo 3 brutes. They have more personality.

Cave Johnson here, we're done!

PS: If you are reading this comment while imagining my voice, don't panic. That's just a side effect of the testing.

CHEWBACCA!

I preferred the Halo 2 Brutes by far. Personally, I felt that their appearance was more unkempt and barbaric in nature, something more fitting to their portrayed/perceived behavior and 'look'. That said, the Brutes in Halo 3 being armored makes sense as it could very well be an expression of the further assimilation into the Covenant of the Jiralhanae.
