Subject: Should the Brutes have a sniper.

Posted by: Spartan2447
I don't know, we already have the beam rifle and UNSC sniper rifle so I don't think we need anymore. Besides I think Brutes are way too bloodthirsty and savage to be competent snipers

I think the Brutes are good enough with the Carbines to say we don't need Brute Snipers. We have Jackals for that.

Bungie doesnt usually go by the books.
Um, what are you talking about? Halo CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3 were never a book to begin with, number 1. Halo ODST takes place between Halo 2 and 3. It doesn't have a book either. But regardless, the story is always based of the books.

The books take place before Halo CE. This game is based of the book, The Fall of Reach. Bungie always goes by the books, regardless. For example, at the beginning of Halo CE, the Pillar of Autumn is escaping Reach in a slipspace jump and the Covenant track the ship to where they went,which happened to be near a Halo ring. that is what happened after The Fall of Reach.


The story from Halo CE to the end of Halo 3 doesn't even take up a year, nothing big changed in UNSC or Covenant technology in that time frame. Everything that was in Halo 3 was around during Halo CE just not added to the canon at the time of Halo CE's release. Stop acting like your a Halo expert because you're wrong. There can be new things added to Reach and things exclusive to Halo 3 without screwing up the canon.

Those items were able to be added because they didn't conflict with the universe canon. I haven't read First Strike, but if it says there's no Brutes on Reach, there's no Brutes on Reach period.

I certainly didn't and don't claim to be an expert. However, where in the Fall of Reach, or anything involving Reach, do brutes come in? The Brutes weren't even technically part of the Covenant until the End of Halo 2, dude. It is called common sense. I'm sure everything Covie and UNSC related was around during Halo CE. that is obvious, actually. The fact that some weapons are not available in the first game is pretty simple. For UNSC weapons, the Pillar of Autumn had just undergone a partially completed refit and resupply, and the main armory was hit while trying to land on Halo. For Covey weapons, the ships at Halo were there for survey and exploration, not combat. So only basic weapons, and dropships for that matter, were available. But if that were the case, why didn't Brutes chase them down in the beginning? When did Brutes ever have anything to do with Reach?

So you're saying this game (Halo: Reach) has nothing to do with the actual fall (conquest) of planet Reach, just the beginning of SPARTAN-II program, and when the space battle begins at Reach, then it ends?

Yeah superduper you fail big time. Brutes were the first covenant humans had contact with. So you should try reading Contact Harvest one day instead of acting like you know everything. So it is very possible we will be fighting brutes and elites on Reach. Not that I like brutes or that they are confirmed, it's just that it's possible.

Sniping doesnt seem like the brutes style. I mean, why do you think all there weapons have those -blam!- blades?

THANK YOU!!!!!

I sure hope brutes aren't in reach, such a stupid enemy to fight, elites only in my opinion.

  • 11.09.2009 5:11 PM PDT

How's this?

Hunters: Demolition
Brutes: Support and CQB
Elites: Commanders and impossible to headshot from behind
Engineers: No more x3 Overshield for them. Please?
Grunts: With wings?
Drones: Get rid of them. Quickly. Quietly.
Sniper Turkey Hors: err, I mean Jackals: NO MORE BEAM RIFLES FOR THEM

  • 11.09.2009 5:35 PM PDT

If we had that gun I could make a Civil War gametype.

  • 11.09.2009 5:41 PM PDT

Those stupid apes would probably be stupid enough to break their own weapon. Their arms would be too fat to use them too.

yes brutes will be in reach... and they were in the covenant before halo 2... halo 2 is when "we" first met them. They were in the covenant for a while... Also if you want to follow story halo wars is 30 or so years BEFORE Halo: CE and brutes are in it... Brutes were there, we just didn't see them, also brutes could have been at reach... just no one mentioned them, the elites probably did most of the work, so it will probably be like brutes will be enforcer squads, elites have their grunt/jackal squads, and when things get tough they put in a call "Send in the Brutes!" so the brutes run like meat shields while the elites should from a far...

after when the brutes die they call out "Send in the hunters!" after that fails then they die with honor... after that the Grunts scream "EVERY GRUNT FOR HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!!!" then the grunt runs off and trips on a sticky causing his team to die... lol

I thought of an interesting weapon the other day and i called it the Brute Shredder. It looks similar to a spiker but is longer in size and the 2 blades at the muzzel are replaced with one single blade under the handle. It would have an instant kill and you would reload after every shot. Also you would have to lead your shot. 2X scope. What do you think?

_______
When you hit your target with the giant spike, you will pin them to whatever they hit whether that be a wall, the ground/floor, a vehicle, or whatever. The weapon could also have enough impact to knock a vehicle off course a slight bit.
