Brute Shot: Crappy weapon. Does very little damage and the only thing it is really good for is for killing packs of Grunts and Jackals.
Spiker: After the Halo 3 Beta, the Spiker is useless. Just another SMG. We already have a Plasma Rifle.
Mauler: Over-powered and will make the game too easy. Good that it disappears.
Gravity Hammer: Again, another crappy weapon. Just a replacement for the Energy Sword in Halo 3.
Chopper: If the Chopper was in Halo 3, it would use Spikers. The chopper is powerful now, but give it spikers instead of its current weapon and it will more likely lead to your death than anything else.
Prowler: Did anyone even use this at all in Halo 3?
Spike Grenade: Yeah, it sucks that this would disappear. But we lived with frag and plasma grenades for the first two games.
Firebomb: Over powered. By far.
Equipment: No explanation required.


Why do you play halo 3?

Why does everyone want another Halo CE?



???

Seriously?

Because Halo CE til this day is still the best of the franchise, only thing that keeps it from still outselling 2/3 is that it has no online capability other than tunneling systems :(

Firebomb: Over powered. By far.
Equipment: No explanation required.

Brute Shot: It can kill people in four shots, it's a pretty good close range weapon, kinda like an explosive shotgun without being to cheap.
Spiker: It has it's good points, and it's far more effective against shieldless foes then the SMG, plus the added melee damage is a good bonus.
Mauler: Agreed.
Gravity Hammer: Yeah, but they're pretty fun to use, and it adds an extra field of gameplay when you can throw dumpsters at people, plus it's a good anti vehicle weapon so it's not exactly like the sword.
Chopper: The Chopper is pretty awesome, I'd take it over a Ghost, and sometimes a Warthog (Depends on the situation)
Prowler: Agreed, but it's still a good vehicle, not as used as the Specter like it should have been.
Spike Grenade: Agreed
Firebomb: Agreed
Equipment: Agreed


Firebomb grenades are not overpowered because they aren't in MM!

if you have any questions about halo i am one of the few people on this site who will gladly help you. Even though this account has been active for only a year, my past accounts go all the way back to 2002.

we lived without brutes through the first (best) game in the series.

It may be an opinion but it's the majority's opinion, it's been kind of well known for years that Halo CE is regarded as the best by most of the fan base. Usually the ones who don't like CE are more casual players who love Halo 3. CE was a much more competitive (which is fun to myself and others) game while 3 is more for casual fun

...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...."


Check out my Youtube Channel!

well then they can make sweet elite weapons. brutes suck bawls.

  • 11.01.2009 4:42 PM PDT

In matchmaking couldn't they include those things because it doesn't matter in multiplayer whether they are accurate.

Then play Halo CE then if it's so good.

My point is that the entire game should be completely different IMO, just a new feel altogether.

  • 11.03.2009 5:32 PM PDT

Lets think about this... Keep all the weapons, vehicles, equipment as Halo 3, and most people want new weapons and vehicles... OR we take out all the brute weapons and vehicles and replace them with new Human/Elite weapons. Personally, I like the second option. I didn't mind the equipment personally, but I wouldn't miss equipment if it was gone. Hardly noticed I couldn't use it in ODST. I'd like the return of the Prowler and the shadow.

False. The poll in the voting booth showed that Halo 3 was the most liked game until the MLG forum bigots got butthurt about it and decided to rig the poll by spam voting and alt accounting.

I know that you immediately dismiss anyone who doesn't think that Halo 1 is the best as "not a true fan", but whatever.

Even bungie themselves didnt like the halo 2 brutes lol. They stated they were "Just damage sponges" and "no fun to fight"


I actually prefer fighting the Halo 2 Brutes because they're stronger than they are now. But in all 3 Campaigns, the Brutes are stupid beasts who can only defeat their enemies with greater numbers and Brute Shots. Kind of sad really. And they never were all that fun to fight.

Ha well I love the prowler and pretty much everything else, so I think Brutes should stay:)

Why would anyone want another Halo CE? They'd just be selling us the same game again. No thank you! I've already bought CE twice.

Also, IMO Halo 3 > Halo 2 > Halo 1.

no spike nade? THANK GOD FOR THAT!
Spiker? Never use
Brute shot? Bye bye HLG :(
Firebomb? not in matchmaking, therefore IDC
Hammer? Actually, I'd be sad to see that go
Chopper? Dont care
Mauler? Yeha, that'd suck too. Replace with sawnoff shotgun plzzz

  • 11.05.2009 3:05 PM PDT

Look out.... -boom- (headshot)
I told you to look out, but know, you got in my way, was going to shoot that splaser....

Let me say this.

If the brutes and all their weapons and equipment about 25% of the Halo community will complain about it not following canon.
If they are not in the game, a good 25% will complain because they liked brutes.

If they take out/Nerf BR they will complain that the M6D is OP and that a sidearm is better then a rifle, if they include it.
50% of the community will complain just because they can.

and it's a given that 95% of the community will find different reasons in complain, so no matter what, almost everyone on this forum will most likely be complaining the living daylights out of everything.

you want a double barrel?
you'd think those would be gone by 2551?

  • 11.05.2009 3:09 PM PDT

Braaaaaaaains........

Halo 1 had even less weapons, and yet it somehow survived. Also, just because Brutes aren't a major point until Halo 2 doesn't mean they won't be there. Brute's didn't just magically pop up, they just weren't used as much as Elites were. So we still might see them, just not as many.

  • 11.05.2009 3:22 PM PDT

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Posted by: Falcon Saber
Well...

... maybe we can but...

... if Bungie cuts out the brutes they will also have to cut out the following stuff...


-brute shot (no crap)
-spiker
-mauler (I don't know if I spelled it correctly)
-grav. hammer
-chopper
-prowler ( I'm ok with that)
-spike grenade
-fire bomb grenade
-all equipment but the grav lift, deployable cover,and auto turret

DON'T JUST READ THE LAST ONE. EVERY BODY IS DOING THAT.

You know, the Bubble Shield and Regenerator are FORERUNNER equipment, and Human bases have Tripmines, so they are UNSC (Brutes probably just stole them)
