I was looking at the IGN videos, and the Brutes get stunned and slowly attack the player with their hands like in Halo 3. I know they aren't going to change much, but it would be nice if it was a little harder since we are ODSTs.
I agree. In Halo 2, I admit, I was slightly chilled by the Brutes ferocity. They were hunched over, butt-naked, and advanced towards you even before they berserked. With the Elites gone, I thought they would be hard. But I find them easier to kill than Elites! They stand straighter, lacking brutishness, and just take the hits until their power armor is off. When they decide to berserk one shot from almost anything or a punch will kill them. Even the Chieftains aren't much more challenging. I just sidestep their attacks and assassinate them or strafe using hit-and-run tactics. Most of the time I actually ignore other Brutes as I dispatch the Chieftain. I wish all Brutes were like Halo 2 Brutes; terrifylingly insane and... brutish!
