I'm agent Nahman Jayden, eff-bee-eye.

Legendary Difficulty + Brutes = Worst Enemy in the game (next to Jackal snipers :|). I hated the H2 brutes.

You must have only played on easy or super easy for kids.

I found them to be fairly easy on Legendary, but also more primal in actions. Since they were treated like lower class in that era, they had no shields making them very easy, except for the Cheiftans, don't get me started on those mofos

They were actually like in the canon. Tough,huge,strong and fast. Damn they were awesome. Im okay with why bungie decided to make them weak in halo 3, but why in reach? That would be awesome. Halo 2 level brutes in reach would be badass. Not those weak short -blam!-s.


What game have you played? Unless you're using the three shot needle rifle combine trick the brutes in Halo:Reach are just as strong as those from Halo 2. The number of headshots required to take off the helmet and deliver the final killing blow is the same as well. Their accuracy with weaponry is relatively the same...

The only thing that's different in terms of gameplay is that the Brutes no longer berserk, which is a tragedy as that added an 'oh crap' pressure situation in Halo 2, but I wouldn't call the Reach ones 'weak' on the same level as the Halo 3 ones.
