u sure about that? just because you didnt fight against brutes in combat evolved doesnt mean they werent there, in fact halo 2 explains that they were around, you just didnt fight any on that particular ring

The legend lives on.

Hypermnesia n An exceptionally exact or vivid memory, especially as associated with certain mental illnesses.

Halo 3 Matchmaking is already unfair enough with the dinos. Please don't add gorillas.

brutes and ODST's for variety


I really don't think an ODST could stand up to a Spartan Elite or even a Brute

they're just guys and gals that jump out of really high things... like New Zealanders really

This is my original acc, but I changed my GT email, so its not linked to this acc anymore.

Honestly I'd rather see the grunts than the brutes in multiplayer

Only for special playlists.... Like Team combat or something..

One team-spartans..

The other team-Brutes

Stupidity, when sufficiently advanced, is indistinguishable from magic

Brutes? No.

Engineers? YES.

  • 10.08.2009 7:59 AM PDT

Ugh the whole thing about elite armor variants being harder to kill than spartans is utter BS. The hitboxes stay the same they wouldn't imbalance the hitboxes so its just an excuse for being bad at the game.

...And when i am standing there, watching as the slingshot is cranked back into the shadows, a smile will bestow upon my face as I softly whisper one word..."blam...."

Don't see any problems, if they can scale down and ruin the image of an elite, they can do the same for brutes.

OF course that would be awesome

The less than a second latency of online play is a better system to play off of than more health.

You realize this system is just as host based, right? because if you're fighting host, or someone with a better connection to host, and you each start firing at the same time, his BULLETS will register first, giving him slightly more health if the melees happen at the same time.

So would you rather have the BS of both, or just one?

If this game winds up class based as I am hoping (I'm still not sure how people speculated about that but I am liking the idea more and more with every passing day) then I am banking on their being covenant species equivalents to the human specialties.
Human demolitions guy = brute w/ bruteshot/ etc.
tweaked version of a spartan w/ heavy machinegun = tweaked hunter
human sniper = jackal
assault class = tweaked elite

All you need is a well placed grenade :)

Brutes dont even have a recharging shield....They just have heavy plate armor on lol. If we add brute add ODSTs too right

We already have ODST's in Halo 3 Matchmaking, so yeah they will probably have it in Halo: Reach.

When this sniper is shot at a velocity of 88 mph your gonna see some serious -blam!-

No brute's shield generator is only armor so how is it going to recharge?

there's no difference

shut up

now that that's out of the way, yes i would like brutes. i never liked fighting them but their armor is always cool looking, especially stalkers with their laser eye beams.

because when you least expect it... -BAM!-.
...said dah laydey.


Vidmasters: DONE

Just because their armor doesn't recharge now doesn't mean it couldn't. I'd kill for some brutage in MM

I'm a 15 year old stuck in the middle of nowhere. Machinima director, screenplay writer, novelist, jazz musician, and Photoshop junkie.

Give the Brutes really shields. Make the shields and movement characteristics the same as the others.

Feel free to send me messages, please be willing to wait 6-8 years for a reply.

1-7 hours if you at least tried to make it readable.

Immediately if you are Yax, Telec, or legendary.

Never if you are mythic, you guys smell funny.

iv shot enough brutes,i want to shoot more elites.

yes, if there are classes... idk if there will be but it would be cool. :)
