Dirty the name of Brutes? Your -blam!-ing me right? they eat people!
Where the hell have you been since Halo 2?! Brutes are -blam!-
Who cares if they eat people. That adds a dimension to them as believable enemies. This is called character development, something that is overlooked by most designers/producers/and young people. You have more reason to believe they are bad if they eat people. It makes them unique and interesting. Name me one other Covenant race that eats people?
You diss the Brutes? You sound like someone who idolizes the Elites. At least brutes can perform simply physical tasks like:
-heavy lifting
-climbing ladders
-learning languages
That's right. Elites have malformed legs, no tongues, and are considerably weaker in terms of Physical strength than a Brute is. In hand to hand combat, an Elite will be dismembered before it can say Wort. With all these disabilities, every Elite should be equipped with one of these
Some other person named Mega Loathe just said they like Reach Brutes? You like the fact they do not berserk? You like the fact they are dull, boring, and bland? You like enemies with flat characteristics? You sir, are boring, on a colossal level. You like one-dimensional enemies that do one thing...shoot. You like enemies that do not talk, that stand there, and fire a gun. If you wanna kill one-dimensional AI characters, go back to Nintendo 64. We live in an era of technology where it is expected that games produce some level of interest, intelligence, and depth to AI enemies in a FPS environment. You have low standards Mega Loathe...I suggest you raise them...fast. Nothing personal, I am just looking out for your best interests. This also goes for anyone who likes Reach Brutes.
If you hate Brutes, fine. If you like Reach Brutes, we have a problem...and the problem is you.
... brutes are as thick as they are strong. They're not meant to be interesting, intelligent, or deep, they have to be constantly whipped into line and told what to do repetitivley by the taller, stronger, faster and infinitley more intelligent elites. And, actually, the fact that they don't leap 20 ft in the air toward you, unsheilded, unarmed, with only their bare hands and the foam from their mouths to throw against your wall of lead, and actually take cover (or at least try to) in Reach, may show a move by Bungie to try and increase the amount of effort required to bump a single enemy off. Because, lets be honest, was it really that hard to bump off a totally unsheilded, unarmoured brute running in a nice straight line straight toward the barrel of your BR in anything other than legendary? :D
Don't dig the hairless thing, though...
