:D

Why do you not want brutes in reach?. I mean Elites were a challenge but manigable. But Brutes gave halo the "Oh -blam!-" feeling when they go beserk. In halo 2 they were overly difficult and a pain, in halo 3 they were too easy. They should keep Brutes but strike a balance in between. I honestly think Brutes should be more difficult then Elites but encountered less often. You have to admit it's fun as hell to fight a chieftan. I prefer elites but I love the moments when im with my friends while fighting brutes and one of my mates scream "Oh God I Pissed it off!" Bungie keep the Brutes! Oh and another thing in the fall of reach is says the UNSC 1st encounters elites while ?Reach is glassed so it would be more likely to have brutes. But it would be awsome to fight brutes and elites that are working togethor. Also id love to see a playable brute model in mutiplayer. Post me what you think should happen and how challenging brutes should be.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

Because they probably smell like sweaty socks....

Because Elites are funner (yes it is not a word -blam!- off) and more challenging to fight. Halo 2 Brutes were uninteresting and damage sponges. On Normal alone it takes at least 5 melees to kill one. In Halo 3 they are just too easy. Elites fit the timeline and gameplay much better, so instead of trying to make Brutes work, why not just bring back Elites.

Brutes weren't on Reach. The Sangheili wouldn't allow the Jiralhanae the chance to participate in such a big battle.

I don't join any group that spams me in PM so don't try it.
SPAM applies to anything that is copy and pasted, it is very obvious when you do so don't say you wrote it. Also if you argue with me on the nature of things contained in this signature, you will be blocked and never removed. If you send to me in XBox live you will be Avoided, Blocked, and a complaint will be filed for harassment.

Neither of these make any sense in their own rights.

One, the Elites would never be caught dead fighting alongside the Brutes willingly.
Two, They'd have to change the game mechanics for brute armour (again), make up a story for it happening (again), shrink or make the brute hunch (again), and make at least 1/3 of the player population mad within 72 hours of Multiplayer gameplay.

I would only accept Brutes and Elites as balanced in MP if they made them exactly the same as Spartans, size wise and all. The only difference being appearance.

Death to rank junkies.

I don't know what you were doing, but Elites have always been more difficult to kill for me. Brutes were simple in both Halo 2 and Halo 3...headshot spam with a Carbine. Elites had better aim and moved around more.

hopefully we'll fight elites like the ones back in halo ce. those were fun and difficult.
