Personally I think they should have. They used them in Halo 2, why not Halo 3?

And the Mauler should never have been introduced. It is a crap counterpart to the shotgun. Underpowered and no match against any other weapon in the game.

Think about how awesome it would be, to see brute bodyguards standing guard in front of a chieftain wielding shotguns. Or imagine a brute captain, leading a group of minors, with a shotgun, running towards you.

The Halo 3 brute aesthetics would have looked cool combined with the shotgun, also the fact that the shotgun is a way more useful weapon to have than the mauler.

What do you think?

The only uses Maulers have in campaign:

-to make a Brute Stalker visible
-to kill a shielded Elite combat form

Otherwise, it's a joke. It's like Reach concussion rifles: sucks when used by the player, kills when used by the enemy.
