Subject: The Fate of Brute Weaponry

Since Reach takes place during the fall of Reach (obviously), and brutes weren't part of the invasion, what is to happen of all of the brute weapons we've been introduced to since Halo 2? The brute shot, spiker, mauler, gravity hammer, spike grenade, firebombs, chopper, and prowler are all to disappear so long as Bungie doesn't f**k up the game, fictionally speaking of course.

So what does everyone think, or propose, that Bungie will replace these weapons, vehicles, and enemies with?

I for one am so stoked the brutes will be leaving, and though some of their weaponry is interesting (that being the mauler and gravity hammer), I always thought the bulk of their technology was uninspired and simply not fun to look at or use.

Who knows? Maybe there will be special "Elite" vehicles. I really can't say though. This is a good point, and I honestly have no idea what's going to happen.

Marine Corps.
Semper Fi.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

Make Elite weapons. :D

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Umm. Who ever said the Brutes weren't present at Reach? You have no evidence.

Well the Spectre can repace the Prowler and to be honest I wouldnt miss the chopper or the brute weapons. As for equipment, there is nothing stopping Elites having equipment.

Having said all that... the books only deal with one aspect of a huge battle. If Brutes were to make an appearance it wouldnt be too hard to fit them into the story. The books describe the Chief first encountering Brutes on the Unyielding Hierophant but the chief didnt fight on the ground at the inital fall of Reach. Other Spartans could still have fought them and the Chief wouldnt have heard any intel as he had jumped out of the system.

iF Your Not 1st Your Last!

This is a chance for Bungie to dive deeper in the Elite weaponry and armor variants.

  • 10.06.2009 12:14 PM PDT

Try Me.

I think the simple asnwer is that they will not be there. This question is moot in and of itself because you already said that they obviously won't be there. As for what they will be replaced with, well only bungie knows that. I can only hope that it is the halo one weapons though. Bring back the fun.

Well, Chief only had just encountered Brutes in that Temple on Unyielding Heirophant (spelling?). You will probably say that chief was never on Reach, but Fred, Grace, Linda and otheres would have said something.
But if Reach is about a new squad, in a different part of Reach, then it is possible.
M'kay?

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

S-320, S-259? It most likely IS a new squad.

- Dragon Ball/Z/GT and it's merchandise are awesome.
- All "abriged" parodies are hilarious.
- Humanity, as a whole, is stupid.

Bingo. The Spiker shall live on.

Besides, having strong shielded close range enemies (the brutes) and strong shielded medium range enemies (the elites) will make a worthy challenge on legendary.

Signatures are for squares.

The only ORIGINAL brute weapon was the Brute Shot, and Chopper.

Other Brute.

Sword = Gravity Hammer
Plasma Rifle = Spiker, Brute Plasma rifle.
Carbine = ?
Shotgun = Mauler
Plasma Grenade = Spike grenade.
Specter = Prowler.


Nothing of value will be lost.

  • 10.06.2009 12:53 PM PDT

Humans have sticky explosive grenades, so replace the Spike grenade with that, and napalm can replace Firebombs.

The Mauler can easily be replaced by a human sawn-off, the spiker can slide, the brute shot can be replaced by a human grenade launcher, the gravity hammer can slide, the chopper can be replaced by a human UNSC classed motorcycle, and the prowler can be replaced by the Halo 2 Spectre.

  • 10.06.2009 12:54 PM PDT

Rock + Metal = Life
Simple math

remember that the elites won't use HUMAN weapons! I think that they will use the original stuff.

  • 10.06.2009 12:58 PM PDT

Make some more plasma weapons we currently have 2. we need more.

  • 10.06.2009 1:11 PM PDT

Big Team Battle Multiflag/Slayer on Standoff/Valhalla/Sandtrap/Avalanche = Win

They wont abandon brutes.

Don't take away my Spiker Rifle, please Bungie! D:
