Frankie said "I kinda miss the tinkle on multiplayer maps, since it loudly announced when somebody was walking in certain areas. Which you would then blast. With a Brute Shot. "Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle. Whump, whump, whump. Blam! Blam! Blam! Ow."
The bit i'm interested in is the bit about the brute shot, this is the first real official mention of the brute's gun, now the whump noises imply that it's a grenade launcher and not a slug launcher, this is further confirmed by the bangs. The fact that frankie fires three shots here implies either inaccuracy or a lack of power, or both! I'm wondering whther it'll be a direct fire weapon such as the rocket launcher, or an indirect, arc firing weapon such as the fuel rod gun.

Now do you agree with me on this, if so why, if not, why. Do you think it'll be arc firing or direct firing, as always from me, thoughts and ideas please...

p.s. those spammers who continually make posts about iluvbees.com GO AWAY!
p.p.s err is anyone here?
p.p.p.s i dont think so elm.
p.p.p.p.s bored yet elm?
p.p.p.p.p.s hell yes elm.

fck you ilovebees thing rocks.. and i dont see how your connection with the noise he made in TEXT and a grenade vs slug shot makes any sense.. for all we know thats what a slug shot might sound like in h2

the actual meaning of the word slug implies a lump of metal, unguided and unexplosive, just like the MAC rounds in the books and an unexplosive lump of metal wouldnt blow up now would it, so obviously something that goes boom, is a grenade or a rocket and as it is described as a grenade launcher in first strike i'm going to go with grenade launcher

to speculate that frankie meant the brute's weapon when he said "brute shot" is a little far fetched. maybe he meant a tough strong shot in the face, something of which a shotgun could hand out. at least that's what i think anyways.

i'm going with elmicker on this one, i think frankie was trying to tell us something. wasn't the brute's weapon in the books a grenade launcher type weapon? seems to much of a coincidence to me

yes but its still past tense cause he follows up with than blast him with a brute shot i admit it would be a cool thing but i dont think they would make it that obvious to us if people pay for interviews but dont get any info out of reps.......lol ill debate till the end :P

he plainly states that he misses the texture glitch on multiplayer as in halo 2 multiplayer, why would he even waste time talking about halo 1? i understand the brute shot statment could be interpreted as just a hard shot, but it's just too much of a coincidence if you ask me.

He capitalized the "B" in brute and the "S" in shot. Everything in those updates are on purpose. He used it as a name.

the brute shot is a nade launcher, that fires bouncy grenades it is
very inaccurate but has immence power if u are hit by a shot,
grenades dont stick though.

all this info came from a source, dont ask who but hes playing it
right now.

no but u didnt know what is was like fireing this fires a bouncy
grenade not like the 2k3 e3 vid where it fires more of a shot
not a grenade, well it could change after the censored test but
now thats how it is.

yeah, this is the second confirmation of the brute weapon in MP, and this one confirms it is a grenade launcher type weapon.
