Subject: How Brutes could work

Rock + Metal = Life
Simple math

Brutes should also have shields like thay do in ODST
Yeah, that would also make it fair in multiplayer if they will be there...

Actually no, did you read Fall of Reach ?

Master Chief actually had more trouble defeating an elite then a brute in hand-to-hand combat. The energy shields of both of them, and in zero-gee gravity made the fight very hard. MC had to use the elite's own plasma pistol to take down it's shield before smashing it's face in.

In the books when MC fought a brute, however, the brute threw him around a bit, but he was mostly unharmed due to his energy shields reflecting most of the beating, and he eventually killed the brute with his bare hands.

EDIT: There isn't much evidence supporting that brutes do not have better or worse aim then elites/spartans. In fact, in Contact Harvest Tartar-sauce fended off a whole swarm of buggers (Yanme'e) using only his spiker, killing each one with precise shots.

And that was BEFORE he was teh chieften.

If brutes were in mp they would need shields and it would also be good when they died their armor who break like in the campaign

:D

They should make the Brutes in campagin or FF more physichally imposing. And I did read the fall of reach. The elite he fought was supposedly very high ranking. There are several people who beleive that elite was the arbiter.

Brutes need to be scary and vicious. On the pedia it states that a chieftan is feared by elites,marines,and even the arbiter. I dont beleive that when I play campagin.

Maybe not thw arbiter but the other ones sounds beliveable...(if that's a word)

Brutes are more physichally imposing then elites here are some qoutes off their page on pedia


"Heavily muscled and possessing an animalistic brutality and strength, Brutes can rely on close combat to defeat their enemies, even more so than their Elite counterparts"

"Unlike Elites who are masterfully skilled tacticians, the Brute combat mentality relies on overwhelming force, sheer strength, power in numbers, and incredibly strong firepower"

That is a perfect example on how to make brutes and elites eqaul

You said it bro!

I want to fight both Brutes and Elites at the same time. The combo is just awesome.

And I think you should be able to play as Brutes in Custom Games (As a variant setting.)
(Though you might have to be in 3rd person to avoid confusion.)

Who said bungie was modeling the game after the book? It could take place on the far side of Reach or other parts that aren't included.

I'm not saying this, because i know i hate brutes. I just think of them as bigger grunts with powerful weapons. So they should be sent in large numbers on very sucidal missions and elites being the ones staying behind to clean up the mess once the grunts are pretty much taken out. Sorry for spelling or grammer mistakes.

Signatures are for squares.

The fleet that attacked Reach was led by the current Arbiter, his fleet was Elite exclusive.

/No brutes, besides who the hell wants to fight giant hairy apes over awesome aliens.

I know i'll sound like a jackass but...WRONG!.How could it be lead by the current arbiter when arby became arby because he let halo blow up. He was not arby. And besides he followed chief to halo. And the Elites are awsome but Brutes give Halo a variety. I dont want to be fighting the same split face monstor all the time. Now that the flood is absent the brutes are the only way to not make reach repetitive like CE was critisized for.

Why is their so much criticizem towards brutes?

Because were tired of fighting them and it would ruin the game imo.

  • 11.08.2009 9:43 PM PDT

Its a trap!!!

I still like my idea you fight mostly elites and then there are some brutes

the Elites would hold military ranking over the brutes and order them around

I think a Zealot that could use invincibility like a chieftan could be equally menacing
