Elites are better, they have sheilds and are smarter, elites consider brutes inferior to them in FS and elites are the ones that guard the prophet of truth.

Well the problem is the fact that none of us really know anything about the Brutes from a combat standing. We know how the Elites are because we have faced them, as well as the Jackles, Elites, and Hunters. I think it is best to wait for Halo 2 and basically say the first thing to kill us is the best.

Brutes are far superior they are easily able to kill SPARTANS they are a lot stronger then the average elite. They are equal in speed and brutes are still bigger then even got grenade launchers. The MC would still be able to kill them both.

In first strike John said the brutes moved faster that elites.......as fast as himself. The Brute was much stronger than John and nearly killed him in hand to hand combat. However in the game demo the Brute went down to an easy combo. The thing just stood there and took it.

No way. I first strike it says the elite is stronger,faster and larger than a elite. They also have greater weapons. Elites may have been the bad boyz in halo, but surely not anymore.

the game demo was also probly lacking a huge amount of balancing so them dieing in an easy combo is little proof to how they'll be in the real game

Brutes are far superior, that is why they, not the elites, are the guardians of the holy ones.

I believe the Brute is stronger then the Elite, only because of their descriptions in the book(s)
MC has fought both an Elite and Brute single handidly, but in the books, it seems like he had the most problems with the Brute (and the Brute looks more Muscular) If an Elite and a Brute were to fight against eachother, I don't know who would win. If an Elite went into hand to hand combat with a Brute, I think the Elite would lose. But, if the Elite had time to strategies against the Brute, then I think the Elite would win.

Yeah Brutes are guards, but the Gold Elites are called "Commanders", I hear a winner.

Plus the Elite would be smart and realise that it really can't overpower it physically, so it would find another way to win. Either way the Elites are more intelligent.

We don't know that! You can't really jump to the conclusion that Brutes are stupid just beacuse they look like big hairy apes ...

We dont really know much about Brutes even that recent article by our beloved Frankie didn't really even touch the Brutes Crainial Capicity ....

Brutes are the gardians of the Prophets... Meaning that they probably have more power than the Commander Elites. And it seems that rank is based somewhat on kills.

Judging on what we hear'd about them in First Strike they seem a hell of a lot stronger!

So why would they keep the best of the best Covenant as guards, and not give them the rank of commander and fight, when they're probably sure that Humans won't even be near their temples? Doesn't make sense.

Anyways, the question was "Who is better" not "Who would win".

I think a Brute and Elite both have ways that they are better for example the Elite's are fast, but the Brute's are strong.

I thought the debate was over? Anyways, it seems MC encountered a Brute, and killed it, so if MC can do that, how would an Elite do? samething, find the weakness and kill it. end of story.

The last one didn't count, I'm still the winner here. The debate is over now, so let this post die in peace.
