""We meet again, young one. I am the last of those who gave you breath and shape and form, millions of years ago. I am the last of those your kind rose up and ruthlessly destroyed. And our answer is at hand."

No Brutes in this game please.

Brutes suck. That is all.

brutes suck, I agree, but it WOULD be nice to see the occasional brute, and kill it, while laughing and screaming in a somewhat evil manner.

Fight for what you believe in!

I think the game predates brutes. I would say chances are they will not appear in the game.

It doesn't.
I'd like to see brutes in the game just for the variety.

I agree with reptile 1892 they do create some variety but I miss killing the elites.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

I thought brutes hadn't been discovered as a Covenant enemy within the novels.

  • 10.31.2009 1:30 PM PDT

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed, knowing better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives: not men, for flags.

They're in First Strike, and Contact Harvest.

k=just because you cant beat them on legendary doesnt mean they shouldnt be in the game

Don't troll. He said he thought they were easy to defeat. Personally I think that they should be in Reach, sans equipment. Just to add diversity.

I don't know what place Contact Harvest places sequentially. I haven't read it. So, you guys will have a better idea than I would. I just know in Fall of Reach, they were not part of the troops. I can assure you though, they won't be as numerous if there are any at all.

Contact Harvest was the first contact between the Humans and Covenant. Brutes were the main force we first met. They just hadn't been thought up at the time of FoR. They could absolutely be there.

hola!

i would like to see brutes and Elites fight side by side. i know they prolly wouldnt get along so that might be interesting.

  • 10.31.2009 1:43 PM PDT

A few years from now nothing you do in this game will have mattered. Your rank, kill/death ratio, win/loss ratio, will get you no where. So, if your going to play the game, do it for the enjoyment.

Wow, aren't you a bada--. Get you're shi! right before you embarrass yourself again.


As for the OP, I completely agree. Brutes were a terrible decision in the Halo storyline. I really hope it goes back to fighting the classic Elites as well as grunts, jackels and hunters.

That sounds like an interesting novel. Yeah, completely disregard my last post then.

I personally like fighting elites better. In my opinion, they are a far more interesting and difficult character to play against.

I agree that Elites are more difficult, I just like more types of enemy.

As for CH, I suggest you get it. It's a good read. Johnson is the main character, so you know it has to be good.
