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)


The trip mines are
just dumbed down Lotus Anti-tank mines.

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

Brutes should be secondary enemy like Hunters. It would be fun to see Brutes using shotguns and maybe more human weapons than before. They are savage dirtyworkdoers of Covenant now

-Brute shot would be like it was in Halo 2 - unique
-Spiker could be bigger, more primitive - more unique than 2nd SMG
-Mauler could be more like sawn-off shotgun - not overpowered. Less shots and accuracy but more powerful than human version.
-Hammer could be gone or not - maybe some primitive "chieftain" version of it
-Brute Plasma Rifle

Chopper and Prowler are too fun to drive
Grenades should be there - spikes are great and fires are rare
Nothing wrong with equipment. If only AI used them smarter instead of throwing all their equipment at once

I'm 17. I hate my Bnet name :(
Watch before trolling!
Teh Scoffish Page!

all those things can be there, maybe they'll have just one brute level, like they did in halo wars. id like that

  • 11.05.2009 3:48 PM PDT

ROFL COPTER LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL :) :) :)

I think they might cut some things but as long as they replace the brutes, that's fine by me. I would want to see the new kinds of aliens they come up with to replace the brutes.

Oh no.

You mean all the weapons that easily have a counterpart or could have a replacement like that?

And equipment, the worst thing to happen to the game since dual wielding?

Say it ain't so.

Don't you mean to say the BR in place of dual wielding?

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

We will survive.
Bungie cut the energy sword,BR and all equipment in ODST and we're fine.
I would think the sword would be in Reach...

I think most people can live without all of those things, ESPECIALLY the auto turret.

and is the fire bomb grenade even a Brute weapon?

It's on a lot of community maps. Affinity, Think Twice, Abridged...

Posted by: dfisch5
I meant good maps

To reiterate a previous point, they can still be included in multiplayer if they aren't in campaign.

  • 11.05.2009 6:13 PM PDT

You are lame...

Cutting all of that stuff would be good imo.

  • 11.05.2009 6:16 PM PDT

The origional halo was easily the best by far excluding graphics and such. The best way for bungie to make this game is to have no Br no dual wield no brutes ect... bungie should start from Halo Combat Evolved and add on from there and not from halo3 or ODST. I mean it's a prequel to CE not a sequel to halo3. You would know brutes were not at reach if you read the book.

Its a trap!!!

just make a few brutes to fight every now and then but the Elites will still be in charge\

maybe showing an Elite ordering around some brutes


maybe run into a random chieftan once in a while.

I suggest they have slightly different armor from halo 3. Maybe make it a bit more retro looking but still awesome. Kinda like the chieftan from halo wars looks different then the H3 chieftans

  • 11.06.2009 12:21 PM PDT

Sounds good to me. Get rid of all the brute crap. Hate the brutes, hate their weapons, hate their vehicles.

ya we can and bungie is most likely going to cut them only because this games story takes place before halo on a plant called Reach witch the covenant destroy ....

  • 11.06.2009 1:09 PM PDT

I don't think you understand the concept of brutes. They want you to die, ergo less brutes less dieing.

  • 11.06.2009 1:25 PM PDT

I think it would be good to instead of remove the brutes, just make them a rare encounter in a special area. Like in the book First Strike the spartans see their first brutes on a covenant space station guarding something (can't remember what) but don't see them in many other places.

I know First Strike takes place after Halo CE, but they could do something like that without affecting canon too much

I'm sure we will get weapons that we haven't seen before in the Halo franchise. They'll probably remind us of some of the Brute weapons.

For example, the Pistol in Halo: CE wasn't in Halo 2, we had this totally awesome rifle called the Battle Rifle. Although we basically used it instead of the CE Pistol.

***I DON'T LIKE BRUNTS AT ALL. I JUST THINK BUNGIE WON'T CUT MOST OF THESE OUT***


The UNSC made thebubble shield

I dont know exactly what to call it, but it has something to do with spaggetti, duct tape and razor blades...

-GamerTag- CopSuicide (used to be Weedpot420)

It would be great to see the beginning of the hostility between Brutes and Elites. I'd prefer to fight Elites for the most part, but a few 3 way battles tossed in couldn't do any harm, right? Plus that way we could keep the weapons.

  • 11.06.2009 2:18 PM PDT

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.

I prefer to kill brutes more then Elites. Elites are our friends!
