J-H

So, i was thinking how "scary" it would be to come up against a squad of Brute Stalkers without a radar and with less health...I then had the thought of "Wait a minute...VISR..."

So, my question is "Will Brute Stalkers be visible via the VISR if they are invisible?" and by that i mean "Will we see a red outline of Brute Stalkers if we use the VISR?"... Discuss, please :)

that WOULD be cool, but I'm not sure its possible.

  • 08.18.2009 4:58 PM PDT

Hope not...

It would ruin the "Thrillness"

Well, maybe when you shoot them

Thou hast been out BR'ed and now wilst feast most succulently upon my bageth of tea

thats intersting, if they do it kinda ruins the whole point of it though, so i'd say it wouldnt

It's possible, but only after the camo has been messed with *by bullets* otherwise the stalkers wouldn't be dangerous.(Well, they're still brutes.)

If you ever try and fail.....erase all evidence that it was you who tried

That's why i thought. I personally hope they don't appear on VISR because, as you said, it would destroy the whole point of it. I don't know whether you would need to "see" your enemies for the VISR to pick them up or whether it uses something like thermals to detect enemies (unlikely) or movement (again, unlikely)...

I belive it has something to do with the Si s cameras.

If they can't be seen with VISR then I have no hope of surviving against them.
Dark + Rain + Invis = Not some nice enemies.

It's not always nightime....

Yes you will be able to see the red outline of them in the later waves of the day maps it would be wise to turn on the VISR every now and then

Halo=The best game series EVER!
Bungie=Bungie's so awesome I have no words
Finished Halo: Reach campaign legendary solo!

it is confirmed, dont have a link, that u will see them while in VISR mode but not without it.

I acidently the Whole thing

it would be awsome to be able to see the stalkers just by turning on the visr, but they will probably make it to where u would have to shoot them first to see a red outline

Time is running out! Get her pregnant before he does! It is the only way you can truly call her yours.

I Lol'd...alot

Could someone please direct me to the quote in that update that confirms it?

The AR is an awesome weapon, RESPECT IT AS SUCH!!!

yes, that is how you see them. ODST's wouldnt be able to see a camoflaged(spelling?) brute, spartans can only see them because they have hightened senses.
also, i read somewhere that that is how you will be able to see them.
