Elites are smarter fighters. Brutes don't have any tactics except for rage charging.


Elite wins.

Fists?

Brute. A Brute to an Elite is like an Elite to a Human almost.

One Spartan can match an Elite in hand to hand combat. They're just about even, as evidenced by the novels. As also evidenced by the novels, Brutes are WAAAY too strong for a single Spartan to kill in hand to hand. The Brute, therefore, wins.

Elites win in every situation.

Long range: I'm sure Elites are much better snipers than brutes.

Mid range: Again, Elites are better with weapons, and they have strong energy shields.

Close range: Elites are again better with weapons, specifically swords, and again have shields. Much more intelligent; as the brute charges the Elite can make strategic maneuvers.

Fist fight with no weapons: Sure, a brute is stronger. But consider the Elite's energy shields, agility (can dodge, jump behind the brute and assassinate), intelligence, etc.

Depends. Does the Brute have power armor? You didn't mention his rank. What about the Elite? What's his rank?

Finally, when does this fist fight take place? During Halo CE? Halo 2+Halo 3: ODST? Halo Reach? A war not depicted in the Halo games?

Zealots had stronger shields during Halo CE but more health during Halo 2.

Based on experience (playing Halo 3 Campaign), I can say that the Brute will almost always win since his melee has more force than a Elite (especially with Cowbell turned on).

But a single Elite wielding a Energy Sword can slaughter 3-5 Brutes on Legendary before dying. I had a screenshot depicting the Elite in his last moments but I lost it.

In the Ghosts of onyx it says that Brutes are much better at close combat fighting than elites (because they are stronger) but.....
Elites are faster, smarter, and use better weapons/ vehicles.
