Hunters are.....dumb, but yet deadly, by the look of the gameplay video of 2k3 (?), the brutes fight not really caring if they are getting shot at or not, they just run and gun, in the video they werent taking cover or anything, a shot from a hunter will kill them one hit no matter their armor, but at close combat, if the brute is smart enough to shoot or slice the pink fleshy side of the hunters, they will fall...


in the end, they are both worthy adversaries and they are both going to die anyways, i will kill them

Brutes would just massacre the Hunters, I mean c'mon, Brutes are stonger and faster, they're even faster than Elites. Plus, just as an over kill, Brutes launch grenades, which are like just as strong as the Fuel Rod Gun, and the Brutes can take like 3x as many hits as MC so the Brutes would kick ass. One shot in the back and the Hunters are gone. 90 shots in the back and front (without armor and the bullets actually left holes) and the Brute is still standing, all thats changed is that it's angrier.

yeah MC emptied an entire clip with the BR into a brutes chest and all it left was a ton of bloody wholes and one angry ape/rhino

he put a grenade on its belt to kill it though...which means it would prolly die from a direct hit from the fuel rod canon....but considering brutes are as fast and at least as tough as MC i don't think it would be hard for them to dodge and survive hunter weaponry...

Brutes could kill the hunters. The cariben is more powerful then the Fuel-Rod Gun

people a 3 round burst of the fual rod gun would -blam!- the brute! and the brute would either stand its ground or try to run out of the way. the brute dos have a grenade luancher* but didnt seem to use it... it just fired plasma blasts... and the hunters armor can take 4-5 nades in legendary. it could take some nades in a fire fight the hunter would win. in a hand to hand fight id say the brute would win.

Personally I'd say Hunters. In real life the plasma would easily incinerate the Brute even at point blank (i've seen them shoot at point blank, it hurts). Also their sheild is near impervious.

Of course now hopefully Bungie will make Hunters better. But it also says in the books that Brutes were complete morons. They probably dont have the intelligence to even shoot at the Hunters weakspots. hehehehe

Brutes. Hunters suck. they are easier to kill than grunts. i have had no experience in killing brutes, but i sure as hell hope they are harder than hunters!

says who that the brutes are stronger than hunters?...hunters are walking tanks buddy, try and stop one. and in the gameplay video released, master chief hit the brute twice then fire a 3 round burst into his chest and he was....dead?, then at the other one attacking the warthog he shot a 3 round burst and i think 2 or 3 zoomed shots into the brutes chest and died. brutes are slightly stronger than elites, and slightly weaker than hunters, they are in the middle of the two. in covenant terms: they are the most balanced of the 3 for they have both average strenght and average inteligence (between elites, hunters, and brutes)

EDIT: btw, every covenant have their weak points with a certain gun, hunters happen to be in their necks or back at the red spots where there is no armor, an elite to take out its shield you overcharge a covie pistol and then kill it however you want it after that.

Brutes by a long shot. At least in the books i think it does say they can take down a Hunter. I could be mistaken though.

Bungie said Brutes would be harder in the actuall game. besides hunters, one shot with the damn pistol and they are dead. besides brutes are fast as hell. they could easily dodge hunters green -blam!-

Well, with gunfire they are both even because the gernade launcher's gernades richochet off of things. So if you hit the shield with that, bye bye mr Brute.

On specualtion purposes, Brutes. But since no one in this forum has played against a Brute it is only pure speculation. However, all sources point to the Brute kicking Hunter ass, so I guess it's a safe guess to make.

But the Brutes may not, and actually make them a challenge. I don't think Bungie would make this unit to where it has too much of a major weakness.

anyways: brutes, elites, hunters, jackals, and prophets are all the same to me and are all bound to the same fate: be killed by the almighty Master Chief, moi.

grunts and engineers will be spare at certain points

there are no elites

I say Brutes, they seem like their alot smarter and their strength looks like it's pretty close to the Hunters. So I say Brutes.
