"People can have the Model T in any color they want, so long as it's black" - Henery Ford.

I still don't really get how an ODST mele can really damage a brute; I mean a grunt or jackle is ok, but how can they really do any damage to a brute? If you remeber from Sierra 117, Johnson lands a fairly heafty punch, using his entire body in a 180 spin and he doesn't even tickle the brute. If the biggest badass of them all can't do anything, how the heck is a puny little rookie supose to smack a brute around?

Edit: yes i realize its a game, but this just bugs me.

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...

Just because ur a ODST doesn't mean your WEAK, Remember ODST's are Green and Very, Very Mean

There was a vid of firefight when this guy was hitting a brute with armour on and it did nothing at all.

Your blood will clean the blood for now.

Before I say "Its a -Blam- video game" I will say in one of the IGN Fire fight vids for the new map, Rally In? Or something to do with Rally. The guy SMGed a Brute down until no sheilds close range and meleed the Brute, which seemed to just give him a bloody nose. I think he stuck him or something, but that proves that you can't just plasma charge + punch combo out of every CCBrute episode.

I know, I think they should lower the melee damage to the pathetic level it was at in Halo 2. Didn't it take about 20 hits to kill a combat flood form?


Hitting Brutes was almost as bad. Plus they couldn't do anything to your shields. And why the hell did you melee a Combat form in Halo 2?! Do you have a death wish?! Honestly, Brute Shot blade, Shotgun, or Energy Sword.
