Brutes should be in the game but you shouldn't see them as much.

Eat raw meat.
Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Do you mean as in multiplayer models, or as in appearance in the campaign?

They should appear in both, but in campaign THEY SHOULDN'T BE COMMON!!! Ugh, Brutes can come to the party, but they shouldn't be the focus this time, just a randomly occuring enemy.

Still, there's enough Brute armour to make them a decent MP skin, just scale them down a bit and they're fine.

Brutes are a joke and messed up the canon.

Elites are funner.

You're never going to see Elites and Brutes fight alongside each other.

Brutes will look so dumb in multiplayer. Picture one driving a warthog or rushing you with an AR... Just look at the Elites

They should be in both Campaign and multiplayer, but of course to fit each mode's needs. The Brutes in Campaign need to be similar to the ones in Halo 2, just with better A.I. The ones in multiplayer just need to match up with Spartans and Elites and as well be near to perfect balance with them.

Don't say that's retarded, many games have turned campaign characters into multiplayer ones, even if people thought it wouldn't work out and it did. Example: GoW2 with General RAAM and Skorge.

I don't know about you, but I'd say the same with certain human weapons for Elites. Same goes with Spartans with certain covenant weapons...so?? I know, it's a opinion, but you can't stop things from being added just from opinions, you got to have facts and present issues that'd take to long to make it work.

Ya, Elites do look dumb using human weapons in multiplayer (or at least I think they do), I just don't want the same to happen to Brutes.

I mean seeing Brutes being shrunk down to the size of a Spartan just isn't right. It happened to Elites.

I laugh every time I see a hunchback dino doing the same thing so there's not going to be much difference with a Brute. They could work out in multiplayer.

Wheres Meh Sniper?

Youtube page

to be honest, brutes are cool and all but I hate them.

  • 11.01.2009 12:36 PM PDT

I think you should have brutes, but they should be a lot harder but also be alot rarer than they are one Halo 3, and Halo 3 : ODST.

What better way to show your hate then owning them in multiplayer and T-Bagging them? At least the ones in multiplayer would be more challenging.

Most of the covenant weapons are designed 2 fit in the hands of mostly all the covenant races. thats why

Not -blam!- the story, but the player models do not have to do with the story line.
Exactly, cause the player models from GoW1 are in GoW2 multiplayer, but not in GoW2's campaign, why can't anyone accept this fact?

My thoughts exactly.

In the books, before Halo 2, the Brutes only use was to search the rubble and ruins of the planets they attacked, thats why there are no Elites in ODST...for the most part, Regret's Assault Carrier released some Brute squads to make sure all humans were dead, if this game took place DURING the attack, it should've had Elites.

But yeah, hopefully they will RARELY put Brutes into Reach campaign, we need more Elites, they should also make them a tad skinner, I've noticed some...bloating in the Elites from Halo 2 to 3.
