Subject: If Brutes are in Reach...

THIS SUMMER...

.... they should have a full sandbox. As in, a Brute Banshee, and Brute Wraith, etc. I mean, the Chopper is awesome, but why do the Brutes only have one vehicle? Oh, my bad, the Prowler as well, but that was hardly used.

Basically, what I'm saying is that if Brutes and Elites are in the same game, they should have different vehicle sets to give them separate looks and feels. I mean, if you see a Brute in a Chopper, you're like "Holy crap, that looks so Brute-y, and I'm going to die", but if you saw an Elite in a Chopper, you'd think, "What the hell is that doing there?" Well, the opposite should be true for Elites. You see Ghosts and Banshees now and think they look Elite-y, and you don't really notice that a Brute is piloting them. So why not make a Brute tank and a Brute airship, or just give them Choppers and Prowlers and leave it at that? It can't be that hard , and it would look awesome.

I'm pretty sure that the only brute vehicles are the chopper and prowler.

But if there are others that would cool too.

I agree. The brutish change in Halo 3 disappointed me in and I'd like to see the sleek, sexy elite look return. The Brutes don't belong in the Covenant; their style is totally contradicted by what Halo 1 and 2 established as the Covenant "look." Honestly, monkeys using sawn-off shotguns with steak knives duck taped to them DOES NOT reflect the perfect, flawless look the Covenant of Halo 1 and 2 put forth.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Brutes should not be a major enemy in Halo Reach. At this time the Elites were the main military force of the Covenant. I would assume that the Brutes will at the very least play a supporting roll, but not the kind of roll they played in Halo 3 and ODST.

If Brutes are to appear in Reach they need to behave more like they did in the novels, they also need to take alot more damage like they did in Halo 2.

I personally think that brute weaponry and brute-defined vehicles won't happen, and if it does it'll be rare. Brutes may make an appearance, but the chopper, if it follows the literature like a lot of the trailer did, you cant expect the chopper to make an appearance. The chopper was originally a peace offering from an engineer, that was redone to create the chopper. Plus, brutes were in a low position in the covenant at this time, so nothing would be allowed to be personalized by them at that time.

Brutes might be in it but they ony became a real member of the covenant after halo 2's ending.
And reach is set before halo 3 as one of the guys in ODST say "Its going to be like reach all over again" stating that it was before halo 3.

Reach is prior to Halo CE.

Fair enough.
Theyll probebly have the brute plasma rifle in it too if that was in ODST

  • 09.30.2009 2:24 PM PDT

Seriously, its not gonna happen. Even in Halo 3 when Brutes were fully the defenders of the prophets (as the Elites were before) they DID NOT HAVE PERSONALIZED VEHICLES. They had a couple that mimicked their fighting style (Chopper, Prowler) but as far as Covenant made vehicles, they remained the same as they were before.

A Red Plasma rifle is not sufficient.

you hate brutes right?

Even if brutes are in there, I'd expect them to be a rare enemy, as they were not the lead military role in the covenant, as far as vehicles go, I think if Bungie make new ones, it would just ruin the canon, the brutes didn't play a major role in the covy , until the end of halo 2 and halo 3, and even then they only had choppers and prowlers. So how the hell would you expect new vehicles to be in Reach if they didnt introduce brute vehicles until Halo 3?

The fact that it was red is just a colour differenciallity,
ITS NAME WAS (BRUTE PLASMA RIFLE) ITS STONGER THAN THE ELITES ONE BUT IT OVERHEATS ALOT FASTER!
It is a completly different gun theoretically

What the heck are you talking about? They were a real covenant member since before halo 2 even started. At the beginning, the brutes carried out the arbiter's trial, and the prophets gave them charge over him, a commander of a fleet of ships before the halo 2 story progressed and you're saying they were only part of the covenant after Halo 2?!?!?!?! Replay the game man.
