Who is happy to be able to fight them again?
I am because I hate brutes, they ruined the campaign for me.
Even if this is not confirmed yet there is no way brutes can appear. Elites were in power till halo 2, and it was stupid enough that brutes were in odst.

Also Elites and Brutes in the same game like halo 2 was not bad.

If Brutes were able to be the main enemies in Halo 3: ODST you can bet your ass they will make an appearance in Reach.

And yes, I'm happy we get to fight Elites. They just need more variety.

I am definately looking forward to Elites, but Brutes should still be in certain scenarios. If they changed the brutes just a tad from ODST they could be great opponents. I think they need to make them a little sneakier or quicker so they are not as easy to stick. They just sit there begging to eat a sticky in the face.

If you want to see the MC die, play Legendary. If you want to see MC finish the fight, play Halo 3. If you want to see MC finish the fight by dieing, why did you waste six years when you could have done it yourself right now?

The Brutes were dumb, unimaginative, and not very fun to fight. What makes the Elites much better? It's not a skin change I'm looking forward to in Reach. It's smarter enemies.

It's not the brutes that bothered; it was the ridiculous armor system they had, why could they not have had energy shields like the Elites or the brute chieftains, it would have been funner and would take less work even.

i actually might have bought halo 3 it were not for the -blam!- armor flying off. maybe

Agreed, Brutes suck.

It is high time the Elites were restored to their rightful place as the heart of the Covenant military. I'd rather fight an intelligent, agile, worthy foe as opposed to a big, dumb, bullet sponge.

You are on such a planet for the first five levels of Halo 3.

And I look forward to Elites being the main military leader unit in Halo: Reach, assuming that occurs. I hope that they use Brutes, and that they give them a good combat role. I would like to see them in a similar incarnation to their Halo 2 shape. Not damage spongey, but a shieldless ape with at least a helmet you need to crack off to get the headshot.
I just hope that Elites prove to be clever. I wanna fight clever opponents. Enemies that hide behind cover, fire at a distance (ODST did a good job of that), and enemies that interact with eachother. And enemies that aren't compelled to do nothing but wait for you to attack if you hide behind cover. Seriously, it's not that fun.
