In the E3, when Mc does the melee combo to the Brute, the brute falls yet mc gives him like two more bullets to the chest. Maybe the combo didnt kill him but only nocked him on his arss, and they can get back up.

Was that a statement or question?

Both, but mainly a observation.

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

Possibly...Or he could have just shot him to show the bullet hitting a corpse blood effects. But it would be cool if the combo stunned them.

I heard the Brutes are stronger than Hunters and more agile than the 1337's (Sorry I had to) So with our big armoured friends a melee attack to the back would kill, poor spinal cords you know, so a direct hit to anywhere else didn't really affect the Hunter. So in theory the Brutes would be a b*tch to kill with a melee combo without pumping him full of lead or plasma.

I hope brutes end up strong in the game than that. They seemed pussified to me.

Have you zoomed in on their weapon? It looks awsome, its all curvy and stuff..i wonder if the MC can pick it up...*evil grin*

Brutes are powerful. It was a showing of weakness in the E3 demo as it was taken down quickly. Hopefully it was like that a)Since it was an early build and not the full potential of the hunters b) Its does just knock them out and they can stand up again and keep on attacking, which would make for some interesting gameplay.

I am almost positive that you can pick up their weapon because when Mc delivers the last two shots you can see the gun fly away from the brutes hand, you can see it better if you go frame by frame, so wouldnt they attach the gun to the brutes like they attached the hunters guns to them if they didnt want you to use them.

I don't think the combo killed the brute, cause he only dropped his gun after the two shots to the chest, that could just be a delayed death by combo, but maybe not...I'll bet the won't go down that easy in the final product. E3 was probably just to show you whats goin on. In the book, the Brute took a full clip at point blank, then decided he'd show MC who was boss and attacked, he still got his Brutie Butt kicked in the end, but it was a close call.

Hey, with the Brutes, I'd put two in them while they were down as well, just to make sure they stayed down. Never can be too careful.
