Subject: Brutes in Multiplayer "Once Possible"

I was watching the limited editions cd that had behind the scenes and more.. But, what caught my eye were a bunch of brute and elite models on zanzibar which made me think were brutes once a work in progress for multiplayer for halo 2?

It was always possible, but they have reasons why they didn't include it, I mainly blame those who care too much about "normal" gameplay.

Spartans, Elites, Grunts, Brutes and Flood = nonsense gameplay.
In my opinion, I would've enjoyed this kinda game. xD

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

The game just wouldn't have been the same, but I guess it would be cool as a custom trait that you could only use in custom games.

Heck yes. Why was this not the thing ? Playing as any Covenant with the weighted values attached ? The best person in the group playing as a lowly Grunt while the newbies battled it out as various Elites or a Brute ? The possibilities were endless...Oh, the humanity...

There's also an image of ODSTs standing with the Chief on Zanzibar's beach, but it doesn't prove anything.

That said, however, it is possible to get Brutes/Hunters/ODSTs/whatever in multiplayer through modding. I've played as a Hunter myself on Sanctuary and as an ODST on Containment, whilst my friends were playing as the Heretic leader and heretic grunts, it's quite fun.

The "reasons" were that of its rush to retail, having spent 7 months with an experimental engine and only having produced the E3 2003 demo, Microsoft put their foot down and gave them 10-12 months to finish the game.

If only Bungie had ample time to finish this to its fullest, can't believe I'm still bitter about it :D They had to end up butchering the story. From a full covenant invasion to a small fleet :(

"Send me out... with a bang." - Sergeant Johnson's last words.

"I'm ready! How about you?" - Emiles last words.

Go grunts! That would be fun playing as one.

"2010 is the monument of all my sins, Where they were omnipresent, and where I left my old life"

Just take a look at my activity in the said year...

The Only important thing is that "The time Has Come, and the Self Trascendence is at Will".
