In my opinion, Brutes are way cooler than elites. Here's my reasons.

Brutes have that pack AI, making them look more intelligent and realistic.
After you have knocked off their armour, they often berserk and chase you. This can be incredibly fun.
They look better(imo).
They are tougher enemies to fight.

There are probably more reasons, I just can't think of them.

Does anyone else agree with me that Brutes are awesome?

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

Yes, I prefer them over Elites also.

Apparently not.

They are awesome. Elites r still better.

  • 07.24.2009 6:52 PM PDT

They have some cool A.I. It's just they just stand there out in the open and shoot you, and they don't have shields. So they are easy to headshot, and they are slow.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

Brutes would be cooler if there weren't so many of them (or just more Chieftans) and the ones you encountered were super strong. They need to be more ferocious.

Halo 2 Brutes were epic win. Halo 3 brutes were fun, but not as much fun as Elites.

Have you even played Halo: CE? Those Elites, especially the black elites in the last two levels, set the standard for quality enemy AI in the Halo franchise.

It was so fun the way they strafed back and forth while you shot them, and then they went for cover to recharge their shields. They would sometimes duck in the middle of their strafe quickly to throw off you shot.

Death to rank junkies.

Elites beat Brutes any day, dude.

  • 07.24.2009 7:44 PM PDT

Go Go Happy Time!

I remember the Halo 2 Brutes being way harder because they beserk more and always had Brute Shots. I think Elites are still better though. I remember "Wart Wart Wart"

But the moral of the story is, Grunts rule all covenant races.

your not alone! brutes FTW!

Brutes and Elites both have their merits, but I always feel a little bit of apprehension when one of those ugly, steroid abusing apes charge at my face. FTL.

  • 07.24.2009 7:51 PM PDT

I only prefer them over Elites because they're easy to kill.

Grab shotgun
Camp
8 dead brutes and one minute later

"I will flush him out!... ARGH!"
"YOU KILLED MY BROTHER!... ARGH"
*throw power drainer*.... ARRRRRRRRRGH

Brutes are so overly aggressive that they have no restraint and this forces them to be ridiculously easy targets. Seriously. Go throw a power drainer into a mass of brutes and watch the armorless monkeys come beg you for a headshot.

Elites are like brutes in the sense that they are very aggressive. But they have one thing that brutes don't. Restraint. Brutes don't seek cover to my knowledge. If you knock an elites shield out they will take cheep shots at you and toss a grenade and run for cover, then reemerge a few seconds later with a full shield. Elites are partially what made the original Halo so exciting. If you ran, they would chase you. If you tried to duck behind a rock they would throw a grenade or come after you. If you stuck them they would go kamikaze. Brutes generally just stand around yelling at you until their armor comes off, then they leap 15 feet in the air only to get BRed in the head...

Why cuz Elites have the Arbiter, and Shipmaster and the Brutes have nobody cool?
Its like, Elites are Predator(Smarter, cooler etc.) And Brutes are Alien(Syupid, yet tough)
Brutes as dumb-asses, (Thats why there fun to kill. I'd rather have Elites on my team though)
