...if we mix them together, we get big guys who know how to fire a weapon well, but still punch the **** outta you if you get close like in halo 2. Any thoughts? Updates for this idea? Also, I believe the plasma rifles need to be as powerful as they were in halo 2.

Signatures are for squares.

Or we could just avoid the problem, and not include brutes.

Plasma Rifles are fine

But yes they should make Halo 2 Brutes and Halo 3 Brutes mixed together...and above all...NO FALLING ARMOR!

Elites armor never broke

It would be uncanon if they were featured in this game.

I don't know how true that is. Brutes have clearly played a part in the war in the past. Depending on the plot of this game, that could be proven true once more.

If they include brutes, I hope it's in a situation where we see Brutes of all stripes. Brutes in power armour, brutes in bandoliers and crappy shoulder plates, and any combinations of weapons.

Brutes were neat in Halo 2 'cause they would use human shotguns. I would be interested in fighting them again if they were the type of enemy to use all kinds of human weapons. Elites never did.

Yeah, and guy above, the plasma rifle needs a more of a halo 2 power, less recoil because it's rate of fire isn't very fast.

They weren't on the frontlines in the Human/Covie War, they were "exterminating the Parasit."
What happened at Harvest is ,ndeed, canon, but that was used as an excuse for the Elites to take them off the Frontlines and to suppress their power in the Covenant as a whole.

The ODST brutes look like better fighters than the Halo 2 Elites, so I say use them.
