I'm going by realism, not gameplay. The brutes hammer is caught, he catches the sword, or drops hammer, bites into elite, or pulls out knife, or if like maccebus(he's powerful) or Tartarus(stronger) he punches and kills the elite outright, even if there's shields(And it's likely, because shields are damaged no matter where hit in canon, they'd be drained from the force of the blow).
And only the basics of what happened in Legends is canon, not appearance or every little bit. But yea, you could grab a hammer coming at you, but even an elite would break it's arm (A SPARTAN wouldn't because there bones are virtually indestructible). Why would it break it's arm? If a few kids in elementary school can swing near a hundred miles per hour, a brute can swing, maybe 200 to 500 miles per hour(That's purely guess work). It would crunch any elites bone, maybe stun a SPARTANs.
So: Close quarters, elite would die most of the time in reality.
Long Range: Most of the time, brute asplodes.
