BUNGIE SAID THEMSELVES THAT BRUTES ARE STRONGER>>>>STAY UP TO DATE



Bungie said this READ IT!

Brutes. Little is known about these giant fur-covered aliens other than they have strength and agility comparable to that of Elites, and that their preferred weapon is different to any yet encountered in Covenant skirmishes. Their political and social status is unknown. We expect updated intelligence, soon.

It also said

This most mysterious of Covenant client species, seem almost barely tolerant of their Covenant "masters" and remarkably little is known about their civilization, history or even biology. They work hard in their role as Covenant muscle, and never disobey orders. However, their commitment to the Covenant religion has always been in question, since they continue to maintain their ancient cultural traditions.

The massive bulk of a Hunter is impossible to mistake, and the fact that they always hunt in pairs makes them even more memorable - although few human/Hunter interactions have ended with anyone left alive to remember anything.

Hunters are dismissive and contemptuous of their foes, and in fact, they will only associate with Elites, recognizing and respecting perhaps a similar warrior mentality. Hunters are deployed almost like heavy munitions, and other Covenant will often clear the area of deployment, since Hunters are unconcerned with collateral damage. Huge impenetrable shields, powerful Fuel Rod Guns and tactical brilliance are the hallmarks of Hunter combat.

See they are the muscle and bulk of the covenant race. As stated by bungie.

Way to take an argument you were winning with tact and intelligence and crash yourself into the ground. I fail to see how saying I could kick you ass in halo, possibly helps your argument.

I would have to say, no matter what Bungie or any books says, that a Hunter could definitly take out a Brute. Brutes are stronger than Hunters, but thats in strength, in battle a Hunter could easily kill a Brute.

But why do u think a brute is so strong we`ve seen nothing that really shows that it`s even stronger than an elite

I recon the Hunter woud win, what would be the point of using hunters for muscle if the brutes where stronger

Faster and Stronger don't mean much of anything when you have a bullet lodged in your brain.
