You have to realize they make the enemies as hard in the books as they are in legndary in the game.

I agree, the Brutes can't be all too good. Yes, I believe their strength will be enormous, but I feel that they are just really there to intimidate you. Theres no armor on them, to be able to protect them from any bullets going in them. Or if there is, it doesn't look to noticeable to me at least. True, if you get close to them they pose a very very potential threat. Although if you stay your distance, then I don't think theres really anything to be afraid of, considering how the E3 Demo from last year went. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see in the fall.

Not tough.... Frankie says that they can take a sniper round to the head and all it does is crack off his head armour! It takes the second sniper round to actually kill him and you can bet he's not going to be too happy about what you did to his "hat".

Think about that a second... that's damn tough... especially if Frankie's playing on Normal.

i dont know if i should say this in the forum, so if im not tell me and ill take it off.

heres a quote from the new oxm mag when they are describing the brute

[color=white]"he doesnt have a rechargable shield like master chief and some of the other covenant goons; instead he relies on his thick armor to render your shots ineffective. but if you crack open his head gear with, say, 2 well placed sniper shots, his noggin will be yours for the en-bust-enating of caps"[/color]

so that means they do have thick armor and should be hard to kill

I would like to see the Brute throw it's weapon away and go into a fullon feral type animal, four leg run toward the Chief.

Until it's not on store shelves any more. Or in other words: until the next issue comes out. But the pictures will probably be posted by Bungie by then.

In the books the brutes were lightning fast. so fast that the MC had a hard time keeping up with them. and he also pumped an entire clip into them and they came on even stronger. and they were ALOT more stronger then the MC only after he lodged a grenade in its stomach did it die
