Both together could be quite legendary though. I mean, Halo 3 was bloody easy. The brutes might have been tough (ignoring the fact that they flinched like pansys when you melee them), but they were never backed up by serious medium ranged opponents.
Sure, there were jackals, but they failed epicly as a challenging opponent because:
A) They stood in the open or up in a tree with little to no cover to protect them. All. The. Time.
B) They had no shields so a simple headshot removes the threat.
But if there had been shielded elites, that could utilize cover, and would take a few seconds to take down, backing up those brutes?
It could be carnage. And what better way to challenge a five man squad of spartans than by doing just that?
We don't need to pick one over the other. Sure, make the game predominantly elites, but having brutes to shield meat and make things more interesting can't be bad, right?
I agree in some senses, a mixed force would pose the largest threat combining the greatest assets of each group, but i feel the Brutes need to have a higher level of representation in that mixed force. I'm not going to repeat the same points over and over but if you absolutely need my opinion to support this point, just refer to my points above.
