without they'r weak points hunters are though enought to beat brutes.(in the demo of last year's E3 the brutes looked kinda weak)
and exept for the E3 demo how the hell are we supposed to know how strong brutes are?

I've also heard rumours that those we saw in last year's e3 demo were grunts wearing Brute Skins because the Brutes were unfinished. If so... we haven't even seen the True Brutes yet!

the brutes in the E3 demo are using grunt A.I. so thats why they are very weak. also nothing in that demo was supposed to be hard, everything was supposed to be easy so bungie could show off all the new stuff. so brutes will be a lot stronger in the finished game. also i havent seen any evidence that hunters are in halo 2, but assuming they are i can say that they will be a lot harder than they were in halo because of the new A.I. system they are going to use for the game. and maybe the reason bungie hasnt shown us a hunter from halo 2 is because they look different now (my guess). i think bungie might have gave them new armor so they wont die in one shot.

oh, brutes are stronger than hunters i believe. in first strike a brute ripped a hunter into peices (so ive heard. i havent read that far in it yet to confirm this)

Grunts......dont......jump on your warthog and kill marines with they'r fist....lol but thats one thing cool from brutes.

Finaly I think brutes will be more similar to the elites....go read the OXM enemies page. Its writen'' Elites don't like Brutes, and Brutes don't like them.....bla bla ba bla bla'' u got the point

Ok hunters are 12 feet tall and can trow a 3.5 ton warthog with ease and are probably about 1500 pounds a brute is probably about 800 pounds and between 8.5 and 9 feet tall they are strong but probaly about the same as an elite which is massively strong but not as strong as a hunter. I like hunter brutes and elites all alot but a hunter could toss a brute like a rag doll. One more thing in the covenant weekly update thing it compares the brute and the elites strength and speed.

well in the book first strike, a brute completly slaughtered a hunter. so in my opinion a brute is stronger, or at least a better fighter

Yeah I think that since Hunters are slow a Brute could out manuver it.

of course
hunters have all that armor
i think in real covenant life hunters are rejects and the humans should take them in.
brutes are a bit more athletic and more clever, but only because theyre not rejected like the hunters

will the flood be back in halo 2???
dont you go to the moon and another halo???

bah

I remember it said a Brute could rip a Hunter to pieces, but don't remember an actual incident. What I do remember is the one Brute was kicking MC's ass and they took a lot of stots to kill.

The Brute in the E3 demo took 3 melees to kill, that's the armor level of a Heroic Elite. Assuming the game was played on the equivilant of Easy, that is one though monster. Hunters take like four hits on Easy right? I really have no idea. I only know the Legenadry numbers.

in the book first strik it talks about how a brute could rip a hunter to ribbons. Although it doesn't give an acutal example. personally i think the hunter is tougher and stronger than a brute. but the brute is much quicker wiht his strength. And they have extremely powerful guns i saw about as strong as the hunters weaopon. I aloso saw hunters might be able to win because master chiefe can't wrestle with one one on one, they are simpley to big and strong, but he doesn wrestle with a brute and wins. Thankfully for his armor and his wrestling moves, but the brute was stronger than master chief so yeah I think it woul dbe a draw
