Subject: Brutes in Multiplayer?

i think it would be fun to play as a brute chieftain and just rush people, but i dont think brutes should be in mm, unless REACH was a class-based game. i would like to play as the covenant's species somehow though. i think itd be fun to play as a jackal, a drone, or a hunter.

It would get boring. Just running at people with a grav ham? Where's the strategy involved?

2010: Slouched Brutes with small necks join the MM fray.
I hope they redo the Elite as well along with the Brute.

you mean if they made it so they stand up straight then yeah but then spartan players would be intimidated by the fact that elites are taller

I remember these threads before Halo 3 came out. No Brutes in multiplayer for that game. I'm sure the same reasons as to why Brutes were not in Halo 3 multiplayer will still apply... I hope!

The reason was they didn't have time.

For some reason I don't think it will apply.

Brutes have bigger bodies so they would be easier to hit so.....to answer your question, no.

Why would you want to play as a ugly monkey? Plus brutes won't even appear in this game.
What? They are definitely going to be in campaign of Reach, but even if they aren't, why can't they be in multiplayer, it doesn't have to follow exactly how campaign is played, does it? And if people need a little story to how Brutes come into multiplayer, its this, "The brutes in multiplayer are the younger, not fully grown Brutes" there, you have a story now...

Eh, I used to hate the idea but it's kinda grown on me. I figure why not?

Because they are twice the size of a spartan, that's why not. It won't happen

And so was RAAM from GoW, but look what they did for GoW2?(and no, not saying Bungie is Epic Games, but Bungie can do, what Epic Games has done. And vice versa.) Bungie even quotes, "It's just a game" What they meant by this is, Johnson wasn't at Earth during the events of ODST, yet he was in Fire Fight and for that matter, wearing a ODST gear, when it should have been Marine gear. Same concept could be applied to Reach for Brutes.

Hehe, yea. I saw that and I voted on it. I said he had Contacts of the future, that was the most logical choice of course..

But brutes don't have rechargeable shields.

Now this is a better argument here. It'd be odd for the Brutes to have rechargeable shield in Reach, but not in Halo 3. However, the Brutes in ODST, which is before Halo 3, do. Thus, they probably will have that in Reach as well.

Now where was that written? I don't ever remember the reasons being given.

There shouldn't have been elites in multiplayer. Brutes would just be another noob aspect that will only emphasis the games flaws. Today, people hate eliets because of problems such as "My headshot didn't register!" kind of deal.

Spartans. Spartans. And more spartans. Elites can be in the game if that included the ability to turn the armor off. For instance, while playing Team Snipers, the game will automatically make your charecter a spartan. Evan if its set to be an elite. This would make a fun infection gametype in which zombies are elites (a redone model to make them look like warrior enemies to be feared rather than hnched back dinosurs) but brutes would only create distration from what could be a perfect game.

No brutes in Reach. They are primative monkeys and should remain that way.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

There isn't any real reason not to add Brutes in multiplayer as far as I can see, besides the "I DON WUNT 2 PLAI AS A MUNKIE!!!" complains.

If people want to play as King Kong, but all means let them.

Close range only classes have to depend on ambushing more so than other classes as opposed to running out with the BR and shooting everything in sight.

There's your strategy.
