In the FAQ's for xbox.com, they said there was a new Covie-one that flips Worthog's and another that I forget what it was about that Franky talked about. I know this has most likely been discussed earlier, but I would like to know peoples opinions on what these new Covies are. I have NO idea of what they could look like and I bet most of everyone else does too, but please, put down some ideas. Lets get off of other repetitive subjects (ilovebees is one).

The new Covie is called a Brute, you should look at the images in the Gallery section.


I also hope they still have the Hunter in play, those guys were fun to shoot.

Brutes are evil and stronger than elites if u read First Strike. Also i think they might be also higher in the caste system.

There is another one other than the brute.... for evidence go here, notice "top secret covenant alien."

Edit: I believe this to be the one that flips cars or what ever.

In the e3 trailer, there must've been about seven of em that jumped from the ship. But it took masterchief only two hits w/ the melee combo to take him down. I know it wont be that easy on Legendary tho..

brutes and elites are on the same teer as far as power goes,

they both see the other as inferior, they don't get along too well

also there will be prophets...if you have the making of film, i think that there is a picture of one behind the art designers' head. pretty snazzy. also there was a picture of a new weapon, which looks pretty sweet....it isnt the assault rifle, carbon rifle or whatever, and it isnt the uzi like handguns...it looked like a kind of shotgun maybe..not sure.

I already know that stuff and its none of the stuff we know already, but they said a Covie that can flip Worthogs and some other one. Mabey the Brute is the one that flips, cant remember.

I believe the reason why it took MC two hits on the Brute was because it was scripted that way. The Brute jumped down mauling the marines to death, but once it killed them, it just stopped and stood there... His defence was probably boosted to show off the melee combo. ... And that's how the cookie crumbles.

I'm not sure if anyone understands on what I'm trying to say. What I'm trying to say is: It sounds like there's two new Covie's, besides the ones we already know about. Oh, I just thought of one. Mabey the one that flips Worthogs is the Engineer, they do that in the book. But most likely not, because it sounded more like one that attacks.

The one that flips Warthogs is completely new, meaning its not Brutes or Hunters. When I think of something that can flip Warthogs, theres only one thought that comes to mind, and thats a Rancor. Those of you who have played Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic should know what I'm talking about. This creature that can flip Warthogs (and although MC can flip a Warthog, when they say that I think they mean if you were to drive it at them they could just toss you aside) would have to be really big, and really strong, and thats what a Rancor is. I know it isnt going to be called that or look exactly the same, but I'm thinking a similar design of it would be cool.

EDIT: For those of you who don't know or don't remember what a Racor is, it looks similar to a Cave Troll from LOTR

To much ignorance around here.

Brutes are stronger than Elites.
The new alien race is NOT Brutes.

Thank you for understanding my post. And I know Engineers are not in the military, it was just a thought that came up right then. I'm a little scared on what these new Covie's are, they could take for ever to kill or what about legendary? If these new guys are hard to kill, its going to suck, in a good way.

Brutes are higher in ranking and stronger than the elites, read the books.

In regards to my first post, if you didnt know what I was talking about then look here and here. I think this would be pretty cool, well the general idea of it. If it was like this then I would imagine it not being as big, but still bigger than a Hunter.
