Wow. You all need to read the books. Get off the computer, and go to the library. Read.

Trust me, once you have read the books, you are that much more obsessed with the game and storyline.

Anyways, as noted in First Strike, the third book in the series, the Brutes are much tougher opposition when it comes to covenant forces.

Chief comes across the brutes when trying to destroy the Main Covenant Ship when they are preparing to attach earth. During the mission, inside the covenant ship, the Chief and his remaining alive team mates enter a temple where they encounter there first Brute. In the battle, Grace (I believe it was grace) died by a vicious attack by the Brutes energy grenade launcher type of weapon.

If you read the book, you would realize that Chief had much more trouble taking down these 2 brutes than he had with mowing through the endless numbers of elites he'd killed.
Not only are the brutes tough, but one of the 2 temple guard Brutes almost strangled MC.
The only way MC could figure to defeat them was by using one of two anti-tank mines (forget the name)

Anyway, chief cleared thousands of elites in his missions, but had the most trouble with his first encounter with Brutes.

Anyway, I think its dumb for people who havent read the books to speculate. The books confirm so much about the halo universe that its ridiculous.

I agree with tribeforce7 the books heighten your anticipation so much more you read one part What! a new Pistol! God that better be in Halo 2 it opens up so manym ore questions when you think you have all your previous ones answered

i think the brute looks to easy to kill. for the people that saw the game demo, the brute took three punches and it was out. In halo one it take alot more to kill a elite. I think the elite will be alot harder to kill.

brutes are larger & stronger but elites are faster and smarter a brute is like a mix between and elite an hunter.

If you people were to read the book you would understand that the brute is stronger then an hunter and faster than an elite and two brutes killed a spartan when the master cheif has went up against hundreds of elites and he is still alive. If you people were to read the books you would understand that an brute is a lot more powerful and deadly then a elite. This is for all the people who didnt read the books dont assume stuff until u read the book. a brute can beat an elite in hand to hand and thats the bottum line well lets just say a brute can beat an elite period.

Brutes will win end of pole.

Dunno, but the Brute was supposed to have a RPG(rocket-propelled grenade launcher), so that might make him harder, and he is suppoubly strong and tough, The Elite has plasma rifle which takes you out faster, and the plasma sword which kills, and they have sheilds. They both are probably equally tough, elite faster and smarter, the brute bigger and stronger. They seem equally matched to me, BUT many of us will find out on Nov. 9th

well the brutes aren't that hard to kill but have strong weapons that might kill u in one shot but the elites have the energy shields and can sometimes carry the new Covenant Carbine that is better than the plasma rifle but weaker than whatever the weapons the brutes have

well brutes r slower than elites and the Brutes are strong but some shots to its gut or head, since it hardly has any armor, it would kill it

r u guys stupid an brute is no far from weak and how many times do people have to say the brutes are faster then elites and stronger then a hunter it says so in the book first strike. if to brutes can fight against 4 spartans and kill one well then thats just great cause the spartans could take out 2 elites with out even lowering there sheilds that says a lot hands down the brutes is better and you people should read first strike.

two brutes vs four spartan= one dead spartan and two dead brutes

two elites vs four spartans= two dead elites and spartans walking off like nothing happend.

sorry to tell you elite fans but the Brute is far better then the elite its proven in first strike.

if i may compare Halo2 to LOTR brute vs. elite is like troll vs. orc... ones stronger ,slower and stupider, while the other is smaller smarter and faster...

Brutes are stronger, faster, and have a better weapon than the elites have. The only way any elite could win is if it were a low ranking bruter versus a camoflague gold swordsman elite, and then it still would be really close.

Elites are slower than Brutes. Bungie even said that.

here's my comparison:

BRUTE:
-exactly wat it says, BRUTE! it's fast and strong, yet dumb. heavy firepower and speed will make up for their lack of intellect, but it's still a weak point.

ELITE:
-much smarter, yet weaker and slower. all though they're slower physical, i'd bet they're at least twice as fast mentally. i am willing to bet elites r more agile too. agility and speed r totally different, don't confuse them.

so....a brute is just that, pure force and a dim wit. elites r much smarter, yet weaker and slower. elites have shields and armor whereas brutes have thick skin, that part seems to be pretty even. so, which one is harder depends on the situation. if it's a one-on-one in a small, enclosed area, a brute would be harder. it's much harder to dodge and outsmart it. in a big area, it would be ez. so, in some spread out are the elites would be a harder enemy.

also, in the book, MC was good against elites cuz he's had sooooooooo much experience w/ em. brutes it was a first encounter AND he was taken by surprise. if u'll notice though, as soon as he got his head cleared, he quickly outsmarted the brutes and beat em both. so, to whether which is stronger, i think they r fairly even.

another thing i've been thinking about: the prophets probably choose brutes as their protector because they aren't afraid to boss them around. but think of an elite, something that can think for itself. kinda like a human. if u were bossed around over and over again and all others of your kind kept being sent to their deaths, u'd revolt. the elites r very religious, as r the prophets, yet i still since a revolt coming.....
