you are probably one of these guys who thinks halo is real
dunno about him, but in my case, I'm 1 an elite fan... >.> so it's obvious I won't like brutes, and 2, they wouldn't fit in mp. I can't accept the idea of having a giant monkey with shields.
also, it wouldn't even fit, story-wise. I know mp is not cannon... but BRUTES (read the name again : "brute") rely on brute force (see what I did there?), they'd rather rush into battle and let their stamina save them. it's always been this way, and dont tell me bungie can fix it (because it'd make as much sense as saying "lets make hunters weaker but give them energy shields" or "make jackals invulnerable to headshot, have 20 times their health and make them tougher than hunters". rechargeable energy shields and covers aren't the way brutes fight.....unlike elites and spartans who have "normal" health and actually take cover if they want to live. so it's more sensed to stick with them rather than break the lore.
Notice that this is Multiplayer, not Single Player. That means PLAYERS will be able to control the Brute, not the AI.
Well Brutes had energy sheilds to begin with. And it doesn't make sence giving a Hunter energy sheilds when they didn't and making a Jackal have an invulnerablility to headshots and have more health than a Hunter wouldn't make sence, Single Player and Multiplayer wise. I understand what you are saying, but the Brutes and the Elites role in SP was the same; stronger and more deadlier than a Jackal, Drone or a Grunt, but weaker and less deadly than a Hunter.
PLEASE read my post on page 5. I feel intimidated that no one opposed to Brutes in Multiplayer has actually tried to argue with my statements.
well, since you understood my point (you reworded it well btw), then I still don't understand why brutes could ever be in mp.
elites and spartans have the same strength physically, same abilities, and they fight in the same fashion, they assume the same role. sure, you could just change the skin of an elite and replace it with a brute's... but if you go that way, you can also include jackals, marines and odsts in mp, if it's only a matter of skin (literally, since WE are assuming the role of the AI). I can't imagine seeing brutes or whatever else in mp. the mp is not cannon but still kind of follows the story, and brutes don't have the same role than elites and spartans.
I read your post on page 5 (aswell as your "cheerleader" complaint), but I don't respond to it... mainly because it's an argument with D0nald Duck, not me :)
In Single Player and in the books, I agree that the Elites and the SPARTANs are equally matched; but this is Multiplayer. That means EVERYONE is equal; MELEE is equal, HEALTH is equal, etc.
I'm NOT saying that you should simply change the skin of an Elite with a Brute! I'm saying you should CHANGE the Brute to fit multiplayer purposes, to make it more EQUAL. That means you don't have to include Jackals, ODSTs, and Marines in MP, simply because of their role in SP. And THAT MEANS we don't have to see Hunters and Grunts with energy sheilds walking around Multiplayer.
Oh, and uh.. see what I did thar?
