Well well.
I am seeing lots of legitimate arguments here, and I respect that. But many of you are forgetting one very, very big point. The point is that in -Multiplayer- , or -Matchmaking- , the Players or the AI, or the Computer or whatever, are NOT creating/making/defying the history of the Halo Universe. Why? Because Multiplayer and Matchmaking NEVER happened in history, ever. Why the heck would Spartans be fighting eachother? Or Elites? They wouldn't. You all are mixing the Halo Universe's Lore and History into our real life, as in, US playing Multiplayer / Matchmaking.
Now, allow me to address my opinion on Brutes. I am also seeing other Members of this here Forum talk about rescaling the Brutes, or the fact that they can't be rescaled. Well, I think Bungie is -more- than capable of making a playable Brute character for all of us to enjoy, and headshot, and beat in with a Gravity Hammer/etc. I am definately, 100% for the addition of Brutes into Multiplayer/Matchmaking, but I do admit, there are other things that must be added to the Brutes in order for them to function correctly in the Matchmaking/Multiplayer world.
Armor; I have seen something similar to this topic in this thread before, but the main reason why you see so many Spartans, and not many Elites, is because the Spartan character has a plethora more of armor choices. The Spartans have their Security Armor ( Which I use. ), the Hayabusa, amongst others. The Elites only have 20 armor pieces in all, although, there aren't many variants of the Elites in the game's Campaign anyway. But the Brutes on the other hand, have many different variants of power armor and such, and by creating or adding afew more, could provide someone playing a Brute character on Matchmaking/Multiplayer with a surplus of choices, and just what kind of helmet he/she wants to headbutt those fiesty Elite's teeth in with.
Size; I am -completey- for the addition of Brutes, but it's no fairy tale that Brutes are somwhat taller than a Spartan or an Elite, even by the slightest bit. They also have broader shoulders, bigger arms, and a wider chest. This could be a problem, as Brutes being a bigger target, they would be easier to hit, not in the head really, but just catching those extra SMG or Assault Rifle rounds would be a real pain in the butt! Now, like I said before, I am sure Bungie is -very- capable of creating a Brute for use in Matchmaking/Multiplayer, so I wuold advise you all to have no worries about -this-.
Animations; Yes yes, we all know that Brutes have a funny jump animation, and that they like to yell at you when you break their armor/shields, but this would, and could not be carried into Multiplayer/Matchmaking. The Brutes would need a steady, easy-flowing set of fluid animations, like the already stunning animations of the Spartans and Elites. If Brues were implemented into the game, they would need to look -just- as good as the other characters.
If these three wishes for the Brutes were fulfilled, I am -sure- they would make a great addition to the Halo Online Expierience, or any fun you want to have at home, with your buddies. Now, before I depart, I just want to remind you, that in Matchmaking/Multiplayer, we are -already- going against Halo's Lore and History, so putting Brutes into the game would make as much sense as adding Grunts. SENSE, I said. Do not put Grunts into Multiplayer, rofl.
