Never, ever melee attack a hunter from behind, just don't.

They probably can't have a berserk mode, unless they take a large amount of damage.


Maybe they could if it was an AL they picked up or something. When activated, you go into third person, drop all your weapons, run faster and deal more damage with melees. Only downside, when it runs out you are left with no weapons


Yeah, I could see something like that working, though there would need to be a limit to how often you can use it. Maybe when you are on low health?

Yeah. Or perhaps it will be like Halo 3 and you have to pick up the Beserk equipment.

Or a better option would be to have it as a starting AA, it can be activated at any time but it only lasts for like 10 seconds and it takes ages to re charge

OK, I think I've come up with a brief summary of a brute playlist, welcome to suggestions and opinions

Loadouts

Infantry: Plasma repeater and Spiker

Leader: Concussion rifle and Spiker

Spec Ops: Plasma Launcher and Spiker

Chieftain: Hammer and Spiker

War Chieftain: Fuel Rod and Spiker

AA/equipment: Beserk, Armour Lock, Drop Shield, Regenerator and Power Drainer from Halo 3. Beserk is when you go into third person, run faster and one hit kill melees

Strength: I'm thinking two hit kill like spartans

Also, do you think a loadout with a shotgun would go well since they use shotguns in Halo 2?

I've been wanting something like this since Halo 2. I always figured, since Elites became usable, why not Brutes? This question was thought about even more so with Halo 3, as Brutes now had power armour as well.

I still think it'd be a good idea, as it would add a lot of variety, Spartans, Elites, and Brutes. But I wouldn't want Brutes in if they were going to do to them what they did to Elites in Reach, which was basically phase them out of most of MM and phase them out almost entirely in customs with updates. I'd go for co-op species, like the good old days.

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

Be too much work to handle such shannanigans

Yeah, although brutes are much bigger and stronger than spartans to go into the same playlists. The elites barely got away with it in H3 by being hunched over, but even like that brutes are still much bigger. As cool as it would be, I dont think brutes and spartans will ever be able to play together, apart from brute invasion maybe

  • 01.26.2012 12:31 PM PDT

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

AA is Berserk Mode.

You would want to be a Halo 2 Brute, as the were bullet sponges.

TBH the mauler is a cool weapon, but i think the only reason it was added was so that the covenant had an equivalent to the shotgun, since they had lost the elites and therefore lost the energy sword

Even then, the mauler is half the power of the shotgun. I personally think that Halo 2 brutes were awesome with shotguns and I think Halo 3 brutes would have looked even cooler. Especially bodyguard brutes, it would have looked awesome to see two bodyguards standing in front of a chieftain wielding shotguns. Or jumping into heated battle with a brute pack and the captain is wielding a shotgun.

Also, in Halo 2 the brutes were shown to have an interest in human rocket launchers, but i dont think they ever used them

OK here is an idea I have had. I've been pondering on what weapons should be on the map or not and here is my idea

All the weapons that brutes use in Reach

Fuel Rod Gun
Plasma Luncher
Hammer
Plasma Repeater
Concussion Rifle
Spiker

Weapons that brutes have used in the past but not in Reach

Plasma rifle
Shotgun
Needler
Rocket Launcher
Battle rifle
Carbine
Mauler
Brute shot
Beam rifle

So what I suggest is, the top list are all starting weapons and the bottom list are weapons that are on the map. DMR, Needle Rifle,mFocusnRifle should do as counter parts

I disagree

Do you think this picture looks better?
Actually yes, that Forerunner looks pretty badass. But the one in the concept art still looks very Derpish.

can take more damage than elites.
Not if they are anything like Reach brute minors on legenday. ~5 body shots and they're down.

Never, ever melee attack a hunter from behind, just don't.

Maybe the Game could involve 'earning' kills, say you got 10 kills, you got a better ability to choose from. The game could be a race to get to Chieftain and get so many kills.
To make it more balanced however, the person who is the lowest rank gets slight increases in certain areas. Increased strength in your power armor, perhaps?

FFA brute chieftan battle: gravity hammers, high jump height, high speed, low gravity and big area of effect for the hammers.

I would love to see a big return for the Gravity Hammers. I know that they are used in Griffball, but it would be fun to smash stuff up on other maps though.
Also, I would love to hear quotes from Brutes; "He's my dinner!" You know, funny stuff like that.

If there was a playlist where you played as brutes, what do you think the game mechanics would be like?


This would help with machinima. As for game mechanics, they would be slow but very strong.

  • 01.27.2012 3:40 PM PDT

We should be able to play as all the covenant, even engineers. That would be so much fun.

That's because they're not wearing armor.
