Brutes are physically stronger.
Elites are mentally stronger.
A brute could bash an elite's skull in with one punch but the elite would be able to out smart the brute...
So if anything it's a battle of brains vs brawn
I know Brutes are strong but dont you think an Elite is powerful enough to deliver such devasting damage as well?
Elites are certainly capable of dishing out a lot of punishment in close quarter situations, however, Brutes are stronger in this particular situation. Brutes are also capable of taking many more hits than Elites. You also have to consider how much heavier a Brute would be, which would work in its favour.
That's what would give to the Brutes. They are slightly stronger, tougher and heavier, I wouldn't say they're as heavy as the Halo 3 beastrium states.
