Ok before any of you read this and start flaming me I want you to know this is my opinion so dont get angry at me. In Halo 2 Brutes were way to hard. They were "damage sponges" and a pain im my minjoir plated ass. In Halo 3 Brutes were far too easy. Their armour coming off with mere bullets. If they are in

Reach perhaps Bungie could srike a blance in between and make them as eqauly as chaellenging as Elites in a different kind of way. Say in Reach your shields were low and an elite was all up in your face, you could still have a fighting chance. Wheither you were fighting them across a field then you would be screwed. Elites were exellent tacticians (spelled wrong) very skilled in the battlefield. In hand to hand you would have a chance. Im not saying elites are weak but I honestly think that an Elite is no match for a spartan. ex: the 3 spartans killing that army of elites in wars.
With brutes it could be the opposite. Brutes are extremmly brutal and Chief almost died in hand to hand combat with one. You would have more of a chance fighting them from a distance. They weren't dumb but they would fight with rage which could lead to them rushing you. That is how I think they could be balanced. Now the canon.
Before you all scream BRUTES WERENT ON REACH!!!! how do you know we barely saw Reach in the novel. Elites would not allow Brutes to fight with them so you could just fight them seperately dependig on difficulty. And honestly I havent read the novel in years. If Brutes were'nt on Reach put em in firefight. Bungie said on xplay (it was at the bottom) that if firefight was popular bungie would incorporate it into reach.

I also think Brutes should be availible for MP. And noy you'll say BRUTES ARE TO BIG!! They already have elites now in theater mode look at a Spartan shoulder cam and look at an elites. There is a huge size difference. Also it's easier to headshot elites. So for MP make brutes slightly bigger spartans.



Dot flame just give educated critcisim

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

You though Halo 2 Brutes were hard? Huh. Haven't heard that one before.

I thought the Brutes in Halo 2 were push-overs. Pop 'em a few times with your carbine in the head and they went down. Yeah, this wasn't exactly the case with Honor-guard brutes, but they were few and far between...

With some of the weapons, yes, but with the needler or carbine especially, they would fall to the ground in seconds. I'd say the reason Brutes were hard at times were other factors: the council chambers fight is difficult because enemies are coming around on all sides, you have a lack of cover, and poor access to weapons... But an isolated Brute was sd dumb as a.... Brute.

Go Rams and Missouri!

Brutes weren't at Reach, so they won't be in the game.

There's nowhere that says there were not. The Fall of Reach novel was written before the Brute was even conceived of, so of course he wasn't depicted...

all i have to say is i want to be a brute in multiplayer and i dont care if people say brutes are stupid and that would screw things up and i dont care if im a bigger target its my loss not yours. oh and if i recall i remember people saying that being an elite would screw things up but it didnt.

Brutes were never hard, both H2 and H3 on legendary just shoot them in the head a few times and they would die.

Back on topic: I think we've had enough of Brutes, let the Elites shine again as the main enemy. Sure, Brutes can be there, but reduce thier numbers significantly.

^^^^^^^ what he said but if i recall i think people said that being an elite would screw things up but hey guess what it didnt


Actually being an Elite did screw some things up. They're bent over like old people and look like dinos. They don't stand up tall anymore like they did in CE.

Do you want the same to happen to Brutes?

....... your avatar thingy is a elite though??? oh well but well at least 4 me it didnt make a diffenence

  • 10.12.2009 3:54 PM PDT

:D

Brutes should not be huncehed over like Elites. That would look sad like a dieing chimpanze. But perhaps reduce there mid and lower body thickness but still keep them buff in the chest and arms. Brutes are taller then Elites so make tehm skinnier in the waist I mean that's what they did in halo waars for elites.

they where never hunched over i dont think

This is how I solve the problem with Brutes in multiplayer,

"The Brutes in multiplayer are the young, smaller Brutes that match the size of Elites&Spartans, cause they are not full grown, but still fight in war times"

Also, Bungie say's it's a game, so if things are off like how Johnson's head was on a ODST is ok, then Brutes for multiplayer should be ok as well.

For Campaign now, I'd love to fight them both, but I want the Brutes to be tougher, smarter and more dangerous.

Heres how they could really work.

  • 10.14.2009 5:48 PM PDT

:D

We should encounter Brutes in close qaurters where they are more dangerous then elites, and we should encounter Elites across a field where they can use stragety and would be more dangerous then Brutes. Elites would never let Brutes fight with them. We should only encounter them togethor in FF
