Haven't really seen the Brute in action much, and the new Elite AI could make them awesome (sure it will knowing Bungie).

I think the Elites will be Better, but the Brutes will be more Hardcore - maybe.

I think the brutes will b more defensive and the elites more offensive.

Well the brutes have more power and strength than the elites but the elites have agility and smarts if they were to met in a close combat situation the elite and brute would be very well matched.

The Brutes in E3 demo were using Grunt AI because the Brute AI was not finished

If Elites have some backup fire from grunts and/or other Elites they can be some tough customers. Haven't seen Brutes in action yet, but they look pretty strong too.

One brute almost kille the MC in Halo: First Strike he unloaded a whole SMG clip into the brutes chest and did'nt stop choaking him he almost blacked out so they are still a force to be delt with.

In First Strike MC hets tackeled down by a Brute after firing a full clip into its abdomen area and it drains his shield all the way and starts choking him and he couldnt get it off until he remembered his hand-to-hand combat training as a child on Reach. Another SPARTAN (I forgot the name) was killed by a brute. Their gun is very powerful too but if they melee you it should be almost a 1 hit kill especially since there is a huge blade on the underside of their gun.

Even the Grunt AI wasnt quite finished yet, all they were programed to do was shoot the enemy if they saw them. Everything else was scripted out and the Brutes also had very bad AI since theres wasnt finished yet.

Are you serious???........Its a Halo Book. There are 3 books.

Book 1: Halo: The Fall of Reach (prequil to the game)
Book 2: Halo: The Flood (takes place on Halo at the same time as the game)
Book 3: Halo: First Strike (from MC escaping in the longsword and finding SPARTANS and lots of fighting untill he reaches Earth)

the brute will be MUCH more pwerful...in First Strike..it says, the Brute is faster than an Elite, and more powerful than a Hunter....in the end, the High Prophet also states that "Tartarus" (a brute) could tear a hunter to shreds...the Brute is determined religiously and is willingy to kill the MC at all costs...the hand-to-hand battle against the brute is WELL-detailed, while after fighting the brute, it talks about the MC gunning down Elites as if it was nothing..The brute will be hard as hell

The Brute of course, they are the honor guards of the prophets. There is a part in First Strike where it depicts a battle between the Master Chief and a Brute, the brute was stronger but because The MC was a superior tactician he was the victor. But in all of the books it is made clear that Elites and spartans are of equal strength, I believe if their was a rivalry in the ranks between a Brute and an Elite of equal rank, I believe the Brute would tear the Elite limb from limb, Brutes have better weapons, are stronger, and just downright brutal in comparison to Elites.

good because the elite and the brute arnt the best of friends. iv never read te book but it sounds real gd. and i think that a elite would outwit te brute as would the mc out witted the bryte on the book. in the end they say that a drop ofwisdom is more greater than a sea of force.

Incorrect. The elites are the guards, in the last chapter of FS, it mentions the "elite protectors" and how they had never seen a brute get so close to a prophet.

And as for the brute vs. elite... elite all the way, I just think they could outsmart them, and you can't forget about their shields, plus they are just so awesome.

If all goes well there won't be a best gun. Plus, I don't believe that info, too many inconsistencies, and I have this other bit of info involving brutes and their weapons I discovered. I just don't understand why they would change the brute weapon so much when it looked so nice at E3 2k3...

i d think the brutes are the er how d u say it better in the food chain . because they didnt send any brutes on halo did they. but wen u think about it again the elites had a really cool enerance on the E3 demo its all so confusing.
