I personally like the idea

If they balance it so they are roughly the same size and hitboxes as Spartans and Elites (which is the major problem since they are so huge), then sure.

Link or it didn't happen.

yeah definitely except for one small issue...brutes in that time were far from dominate to the elites which had a higher combat status and saw more action...even at that its very possible that brutes could be in the game.

Yeah, i was thinking that they could make the brute character model have a permanent crouch so it wouldn't be so tall an maybe a little stronger shields

I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

I would like the idea of Brutes in Multiplayer, it adds way more variety to the game.

As long as gameplay wise they are identical to Elites and Spartans there is no reason not to add them in.

Well naturally it would have the same hitpoints as everyone else, and the entire "armor gets blown off" mechanic would need to go.

Hell, if the profile picture shows them holding spikers, I might even play as one.

Hylebos, something tells me that you like the spiker.

i don't think they would work cause they don't have shields,SO what would happen if they where shot a cauple times then hid they would still have there body armor down,sorry but i really don't think that they will have it.

From what few ODST pictures that I've seen, they have visable (and rechargeable?) energy shields like Elites now, not sure if the entire "armor pops off when the shields break" event occurs, but they could easily take that part out.

NO GROUP INVITES!!!

Yes, please, Brutes in MP!

You know, i'd like a class system for Reach, with classes also depending on race. A Spartan-III, ODST classes for humans, a zealot for the Elites, Jump Pack Brute for brutes, a marksman for Jackals... etc. This way hitbox wouldn't be so much an issue, as each race/class would have different strenghts and would work differently.

EDIT oh and Brutes DO HAVE Energy Shields in Halo 3 but they lack the shimmer effect unlike in ODST. If you shoot a Brute, you will see his armor's lights start brightening, which means the shields are getting lower. But if a Brute loses his shields, his armor breaks and he cannot regenerate the shields anymore.

As you progress throughout your life you realize that the older you get the closer your are to death, the only thing you cannot change.

They should make it so brutes are stronger and can take more hits(seeing as how there shields don't recharge) and the only way to recharge them would be to go to a ceartin place on a map(and Elites and Spartans should have differences two, like the Elites can become invisible, and the Spartans have slightly stronger energy shields)

  • 07.22.2009 12:23 PM PDT

Armor Lock isn't overpowered. You just suck at Reach :)

Reach isn't bad, you're just a BK :)

For my gamertag, look up "Ghoulishtie"

No. Then I would have to worry about strange 'hit areas' for both elites and brutes in matchmaking (mainly in SWAT)

See you at the Aftermath!

PsychoSangheili

yes! shooting brutes in the head in multilayer will make my day

i dont care what you have to say about this: i want to be aable to play as a fluffy grunt riding a unicycle while eating a bagel(buttered and toasted)=yum:) and holding a glass of milk(warm milk, mmm...........), he also has a birthday hat on his head and has spartan armour on and an M6D hanging from his belt.

If there was no bungie there would be no fun.

yeah sure if its all fair then yeah it would be fun to have a third set of armor perms to play with.

Another player model would be a good move, so long as it uses the same hitbox and stuff.
