The brutes seem easy....
Why?
I know because i've seen videos of them dying fast.
Will the hunters be back...
Will they?

The only video with Brutes was a very early build using scripted AI, and yes the Hunters will be back

some1 at these forums were saying they were just grunts with brute skins in that demo....i donno if thats true but it seemed like it...others say it was just on easy diffictuly but even if that was the case they still seem easy...maybe the game was modded so the guy playing would kill things easily and couldn't die...seeing as he didn't have a health bar

If you notice in those videos Mc had to smack him 3 timesbefore he fell and then he had to shoot him to kill it. Point: They are tough.

i'm pretty sure the brute was already dead after the melee combo...cause MC's crosshair was not red when he shot the brute

No. The Brutes are supose to be somewhat like the Flood, meaning that you may think you killed it and its laying there dead on the ground, but all of a sudden they get up and attack you again.

The Brutes in the E3 2K3 demo just had a Grunt A.I.

^^^and he dropped his gun.

Did you ever notice there were alot of different things in that demo. The SMGs seemed to never reload, both always shot if you pulled the trigger. The BR was always semi-auto. The plasma swords looked different. He was invincible. I'm sure there are more.

Your right but if the brutes are anything like the ones in the story MC is going to need a whole lot of ammo!!

  • 08.08.2004 8:20 PM PDT

Yeah, I think it was already dead. The two shots were probably just for looks and more aww. I think they're tougher and are going to be harder to kill than they appeared in the video.

Remember that was 1 1/2 years before it's released so they didn't have many things done. The HUD is one of the last things done and I'm sure damage hadn't been integrated yet since he was never hit.

That was a year and a half ago.. They made them that week just for the video.

Yeah, I was saying the same thing, you can't rely on an old video for the best information.

I still say that MC is either going to need alot of ammo or have shields that can block a Covenants cruiser plasma fire!

They just sound like a great use for guided rockets to me.
