Subject: Why I believe Brutes will be on Reach

As many people have said in the past, "Brutes won't be on Reach, they were never mentioned in the books to be on it."

Exactly. They were never mentioned in the books to be on Reach so there is nothing to keep them on Reach or off Reach.

I think Bungie wouldn't completely abandon Brutes anyway. They spent three games working on them and probably won't just throw them away.

...And when i am standing there, watching as the slingshot is cranked back into the shadows, a smile will bestow upon my face as I softly whisper one word..."blam...."

Well, I guess they were a bit boring to fight but maybe Bungie could improve their A.I. a little bit so they're not as dull to go up against.

I'm someone you knew, maybe even were friends with.....but from another time...another place.

The Mayans were the most epic trolls EVAR.

I reeaaally hope Brutes stay in Reach. It'd be awesome to fight them and Elites and Grunts and Jackals together. THE WHOLE FREAKIN COVENANT ARMY.

The Brutes were not the mainstay of the Covenant ground forces at the time. They were around, but the main ground forces were led by Elites.

If we see Brutes somewhere then fine, but I'd like to go back to shooting "split-chinned bastards," if you get my quote.

Elites FTW

Still using a pump-action shotgun over 500 years in the future I see.

omg not realistic stop game production plz

I'm a massive Brute fanatic but I understand that Elites must be the main enemy in this game for sure. I'd like to see the occasional pack of Brutes though.

Changes needed:

- Better AI
- Armour that doesn't break-off
- A better, more brutal fighting style
- They need to be a MP race - thousands of people want this as an option.

There's speculation that this could be a class based MP. Like TF2. It's about the only thing they haven't done yet. Well maybe not. But if it was class-based then the Brute or Elite could be a selectable class. It would have it's own unique strengths and weaknesses compared to the others. It could be the "heavy" for Halo Reach. Or at least for the Covie's team. If they go that route. Seems like they can cover most fields with different kinds of spartans, just look at the poster. There's several distinct styles of spartans right there.
Brutes should be in this somewhere, but the Elites have to take center stage for the covenant.
