I would just like to point out that in the E3 vid the Brute that gets shot by grenade launcher, maybe thats why its easy to kill with combo plus hits wit rifle


the E3 demo is supposed to be easy, everything on it is easy, it was like that so bungie could show off all the new stuff in the game. when the final version of the game comes out the brutes will be a lot more tough

What deos it say in first strike about the hunter vs the brute exactily in depth because it pisses me off when people say brutes are stronger than hunters.


In the end of the First Strike the prophet of Truth thinks in his head how magnificent the
Brutes are and stuff and how it could rip the head off a hunter and such.

1st the books are not inconsistant. 2nd, Brutes are stronger and faster than hunters, and elites. They take 2 sniper shots to the head to kill them(I think on normal), If you don't have a sniper you may be screwed.

From "First Strike"

The Prophet marveled at it's near-unthinking potential for mayhem; the rippling muscle under it's dull grey skin could tear apart any opponent-----even a mighty Hunter. It was the perfect instrument.

In the E3 demo, if you noticed, good ol' MC shot the Brute a few times and melee'd it three times. Assuming that's on an easy difficulty...

My avatar shows what a Hunter could do to a Brute...heh heh heh...Anyways, the books were made by a bunch of people that have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to new covenant (Brutes). The only people that would truly know this is bungie themselves. Lets ask them before we continue this arguement...BUNGIE!!!

Bungie works closely with Nylund when he writes the books. The books are accurate, they use the Halo Bible for reference. Bungie wouldn't allow Nylund to just make up charactars.

Exactly. "Fall of Reach" and "First Strike" wouldn't be called the "Official prequal and sequal to the Xbox game...Halo: Combat Evolved" if Nylund had made it all up. He worked closey with Bungie to ensure the accuracy of the novels. The Brutes have strength and speed comparable to that of the Hunter and the Elite.
