The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

In First Strike the Prophet describes the Brute as being able to tear apart any oponent including a mighty Hunter. So a Brute would when a fight since the Hunters are vulerable under their armor.

Now a Hunter could probably bench press more than a Brute.

1. Hunter
2. Brute
3. Elite

I think the Hunter is stronger because of it's weight, the Brute is second because it is smaller but is more agile, and the elite is last because it's more of a leader than a stong melee fighter.

An Elites is definitly the strongest of the three, mostly because they have shields. There is also the fact that the black Elites can stick a plasma grenade fairly well and have considerable aim, a gold Elite would dodge the Hunter easily and take them out with one shot, a red Elite isn't as good, but could still probably take out a Hunter because of its aim, a blue Elite would be able to dodge the Hunter and has good aim as well. As for Brutes, they are just plain weak from afar, and also the reasons above for the Hunters would go the same for Brutes.

I am not sure if the Brutes are weak from afar. OXM describes having to crack their armor open up first with sniper rounds before you can damage them.

The topic is about strength, not which one is better.

It says in the book. How can this be a debate? The brute was told to be able to rip a hunter apart.

Yeah but that does not mean the Brute could out [color="white"]Bench Press[/color] a Hunter. That just means a Brute would kill the Hunter easily.

Brutes have more (pardon the pun) brute strength, but can be killed easier than elites, because they do not have shields. In my opinion, they will be equally difficult opponents. As for hunters, they are as easy to kill as grunts if you hit them on the orange, but they have a powerful melee attack if you cannot dodge it. Brutes could rip apart an elite or hunter if they wanted. Prophets chose them as temple guards for good reason.

True, the Brutes would win that bout without a doubt. But, from GI and some hints by bungie, there may be a foe more powerful than any of them. It is suppose to be able to flip a warthog. These enemies exist, but will they make it into HALO 2? We'll have to see.
