brutes are easy to beat because i saw the e3 single player campain and when the part the brute jumps on the warthog and hits both marines of the warthog MC hits the brute with a melee attack and kills the brute?

do you think a melee attack is the brutes weakness?

No, I think these Brutes were weaker than the real ones for the sake of speeding up the demo and not making the demonstrator look like a bad player. In the books the Brutes are very powerful - but so are all the other Covenant (I'm talking Legendary+ here). They shouldn't be too hard. After all, they don't have much external armor - a pair of SMGs should tear 'em up good.

they had grunt ai and health. At that point in time the only thing that they had done with the brute was his skin. So they put a brute skin on a grunt.

So yea...there ya have it.

The E3 demo was using scripted AI if i remember correctly. I read that somewhere. Also for it being Halo 2's first public display it of course is going to be set easier too.

Also I remember reading that jacking in the single player demo from that E3 was made easier for display purposes. So I wouldn't exactly expect everything to be like that old display demo.

He hit him three times and shot him either once or twice (with a battle rifle)...don't remember if it was once or twice though.

Also, yes that is weak. If that's how the brutes really were I would be pissed they already messed up the Hunters in Halo, I doubt they'll do it again.

i'm pretty sure i read somewhere that the brutes are gonna be heavily armoured, possibly kind of like the hunters, i know there was some speculation that the brutes are gonna be the new hunter like class
but uhhh yeah it's a demo from over a year ago at an early stage, besides even elites are easy on easy, and one hit can kill an elite so your dumb if you think your gonna have an easy time on legendary brutewise

They can't be that weak... the extra two shots were pointless - the thing had already screamed and was on the ground, the "vengeance rounds" were probably just there for style.

Yes, and the Brute is going to be a very strong enemy, but it does have a weakness, the top of his skull is vurnerable. But unlike the Hunters, the brute is smart enough to "cover" the spot with a skull cap. You can shoot it off though, exposing his weakness. I believe Bungie said it took 2-3 Sniper shots to blast the cap off, then you can cap him in the head (Pun! ha).

As kablam dizoofus said, 3 hits and 2 shots is weak, but it isn't that weak. And, since this has been covered a million times, their A.I. wasn't finished, so in essence, they were weak in the demo, but will kick your ass in the finished build.

Very true, and to back that up, in the books MC hits a Brute multiple times AND empties a clip from his Battlerifle into and it still dosen't die untill later. I beleive the Brutes will be much harder than we're led to believe.
