it would be very cool. but because they have larger bodys they should be able to dual weild assult rifles at the same time but only for about a minute then he drops one and cant do it again for a few minutes.

and if we could pplay as a jacke it meens that you can have a thiner body but cant duel wield

It would be cool but it wouldnt work, Brutes dont have shields


Yes they do. Go on Halo3 Campaign and shoot a Brute a little bit. You will se shields stopping projectiles. Unfortunately, their armour falls off 9which it shouldn't) when their shields reach nothing. Otherwise their shields are exactly the same as Halo Spartans/Elites.

and are way bigger then Elites or Spartans.


Nope. Elites are actually a foot taller than Spartans, as are the Brutes (Elites and Brutes = same height) BUT Elites hunch, in order to settle this height problem. If Brutes hunch a little, they're the same size too.

Altogether I would very much like Brutes in Reach MP, but some changes would be needed.

I have to disagree with having Brutes in MM.

Now, before you all go flaming every word I say, it's my opinion. You don't have to agree, and if you don't, deal with it.

The biggest reason that I don't think it would be a good idea is it has no shielding, is much stronger than an elite in some cases, and are also so much bigger. Yes, you can scale it down, but it wouldn't be the same. You can't say, "Ok, we are going to add a grunt into MM, but make it bigger, and have better shields." It wouldn't be the same, and neither would the brutes.

I don't disrespect your opinion, but there are many incorrect things in that statement.

1. Brutes do have shields. Go on Campaign. Why do you think they have lights on their armour? Why do you think electricity flares around them when they take damage? It's because they have shields (they have Power Armour).

2. Brutes and Elites are almost the same size, in fact they pretty much are. The only reason Brutes look taller is because they don't hunch like Elites do. When Brutes hunch they're the same height as Spartans/Elites.

3. Their melee isn't stronger; I actually tested this one out. When I went on Campaign, Heroic (which is what the default damage for XBL Multiplayer is) the Brute melee takes down only your shields, not causing immediate death.

And one other thing (unrelated to quote though): Bungie apparantly were working Brutes into Halo 3's Multiplayer but were forced not to by schedule.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

The shielding used in campaign may be different, but it really isn't that hard to give them energy shields instead of power armor, it also isn't that hard to make them weaker (In Halo 2, Elites could kill in ONE MELEE on NORMAL. In multiplayer they don't do that, do they? No, that means the model's stats can change from sp to mp.

You can't kill what's dead.

Stand. Fight. Resist. S2F.

Could be interesting. Like I've said with all of these multiplayer idea threads, they need to test it out in the beta. Considering that the Spartan's armor shields weren't as advanced as the Mk. VI and I'm sure the Elite's will be toned down, the Brutes [i]could/i] work. But their armor needs to remain on. It can't fall off like in H3. If they still do have their power armor that falls off, it won't work at all.

I agree too. However, the power armour should be less shiny, makes it seem very odd.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

The only problem I see is that Brutes are much more larger (I don't mean height) than Spartans or Elites. I don't know how you could take hundreds of pounds of muscle out of them and rework their thick skeletal structure.

You can't say, "Ok, we are going to add a grunt into MM, but make it bigger, and have better shields." It wouldn't be the same, and neither would the brutes.

You know, I think you should be able to play as a Grunt and only be allowed to use dual-wield weapons (without double wielding them). And rather than melee with B you can run and scream.
