Personally I think that it should be a little combination of both. Elites were amazing to battle with. Although Brutes in ODST atleast began to rise up to hard to beat. If they would make their shields a little bit stronger and make them smarter them Brutes could finally be the one to beat. But what do you think?

Edit: Since i'm gettin a lot of canon things like they weren't there. I want to just hear whether you want them in the game or not and why. Nothing about it being non canon

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

Brutes probably won't be in Reach but there's always the slightest possibility.

-I was here

elites are fun to fight cuz they use strategy, brutes are just over powered monkeys that don't use strategy. i remember when you had to aim at the elites cuz they strategically dodged wheras the brutes just take all your damage like noobz and dont require tactics to beat(cept for chiefys, those are a challenge)

That's what we all said about ODST. I hope we get Brutes and Elites in here.

Maybe what could happen is you play as an Elite and your mission is taken over by Brutes or something like that so your squad of Spec. Ops. Elites attack the brutes which could show how the Elites and Brutes were basically enemies from the start.

Oh yeah I know, but there was a good explanation for that. I wouldn't mind seeing Brutes at all but I hope we see much more Elites and fewer Brutes.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

Where's the "humans" option?

  • 10.05.2009 6:33 PM PDT

They should represent what roles the Brute played pre-civil war, and their interactions with the Elites as they jointly assault Reach. I think Elites should take a slight precedence, but Brutes should be encountered working with Elites aswell.

I also think they should have there Power Armor or Bungie should finally establish some firm canon with that.

  • 10.05.2009 6:40 PM PDT

I miss fighting elites. I hope they're in Reach.

  • 10.05.2009 6:42 PM PDT

Neither, according to the books grunts and jackals are the main enemy.

  • 10.05.2009 6:42 PM PDT

ya, but if bungie does that the game would suck (if thats possible)and it would be waaaaaayyyy too easy.

  • 10.05.2009 7:01 PM PDT

Devour the hearts of your enemies to gain their power.

I miss killing elites.
Likewise.

Who is Ripa Moramee? It sounds kick ass who ever he is

Ripa'Moramee was The Arbiter from Halo Wars.

The Brutes didn't see much military action until Halo 2, mostly serving in segregated units and such. It'd be nice to see a few, but I don't think it should be a huge portion of the enemy.

I miss playing Halo with my friends.

Lmao, Brutes only have 1 vote.

  • 10.06.2009 2:15 PM PDT

Signatures are for squares.

Does anyone remember the second hanger bay from the Halo 2 level Cairo Station? I think that really showcases how much harder Elites are to kill, when compared to Brutes. Especially when on Legendary. Taking cover behind boxes, and working together. Plus their recharging shields, and when damaged they pull out a sword.

What do brutes do? Stand in one area. Work independently, (usually)and when they lose their "armor" they charge you, giving you the perfect chance to headshot them.

Not fun at all.

And in Halo: Combat Evolved, Elites doged grenades, f***ed you up, and gave commands to the grunts and jackles all at the same time....brutes, well, they only sat there and waited for you to kill them......true story.

Not exactly true. On Halo 3 in crows nest when you have to save the marines. There is a hammer cheiftain surrounded by like ten brutes. They worked together pretty well on Legendary if one lost its shields and charged my normally i would be shot at by another brute while trying to get a headshot. But i see what you mean by them working independantly most of the time.

Group invites will be treated very poorly because the Care Package is empty.

There is an idea of a Ygidorp, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping you and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.

Uh, considering there were no Brutes in the attack on Reach I'm gonna go with Elites.

I'd like Elites to be the primary enemy but I'd like Brutes as well. They'd need to be clearly different from each other though, and at the moment the H3 style Brutes are almost identical to the H2 Elites.
