I know we all have seen the e3 movie of halo 2. We all bled our eyes out when we found the release date. But one thing did not applease me....the brutes.
OMFG. Brutes are suppossed to be much stronger than spartans 1 on 1. Said so in first strike, very unaceptable 3 shots and a melee combo. pitiful. I dearly hope they make those brutes harder than hell to kill and plz upgrade those hunters it takes little skill to vanquish them in legendary.

And the elites where just as strong as the MC and you can pilot Wraiths and the assault rifle is the best weapon for the humans and there was no multiplayer....my point is that the books although based on the games are different. (and he could have been playing on easy)

well we dont know what skill level the E3 demo was on, master chief took a lot of hits and didnt die, and he killed everyone really easy, so the E3 demo was probably on easy, it will be much harder on legendary

Dude, That was a Demo! It was not any where near final. Infact it has been revealed that the Brutes in that demo were actually useing grunt AI. They weren't supposed to be tough in that demo. The demo was to show the level and what Halo 2 will look like. Did you notice that there wasn't even any hud?? Also the MC never took damage. He wasn't supposed to.

That was the E3 Demo; It wasn't supposed to be hard. Did you notice that the player didn't die either, even after being shot a thousand times. The scene with the Brutes was probably there to:
1) Introduce the Brutes,
2) Show off cool new animations (the "on top of hog" animation), and
3) Show off how a melee combo might look.

It would be pretty bad if in the demo, MC gets torn to peices by the brutes.

The books are not different from the game. The authors got all of their info from Bungie! They follow the Halo universe just like the game.

1) strong as in strength, not as how "tough" their skin is and rounds they can withstand

2) the testers might be confined to testing on "EASY" mode since the others might not be up yet

3) the car explosion damaged them

No they had great vitality in the book and it was in an alpha testing mode probaly "too easy"
I didnt see any car explosion but i have found that there is at least 2 diffenrent versions of the e3 video.

hold alt then type 0447 and release alt

yah well hope there isnt a real easy cuz easy is boring enough.

and no spamming.

-S

Indeed, enough spamming. If you don't like the topic, don't take a part in it.

As for the E3 demo, remember these items:

First, it was a demo of Halo 2 in an alpha stage of development. Some of the Brute's animations weren't even finished yet.

Second, Master Chief was invincible to projectile damage for the demo, and had infinite ammo. The only way he could die was to be hit by a vehicle.

Last, the demo was made primarily to introduce some of the new content in Halo 2, and considering it was a YEAR ago should not be looked at for research on game balances.

u guys, they meant to have the brute as they did so they could easily show mc showin off his melee combos. It had grunt ai in it. Also they just grunted it up so it could look like it was doin something. It wasn't supposed to do anything except get 3 hits from the but of a br.
