If it is something we've seen before, it is a Brute. The most obvious and easily seen part of the model is the arm; two separate sections, a beefy upper arm and a beefy lower arm form its arm. The arm is bent. This rules out:
- Grunts. Their arms are fat, but they don't bend.
- Jackals. Their arms are skinny as hell.
- Drones. Their arms are also skinny as hell.
- Humans. Were the marines that buff?

You may also rule out others for other reasons:
- Elites. The helmet doesn't fit, and their legs are 'normal'.
- Hunters. For obvious reasons.
- Humans. Technology-reasons; Brutes make much more sense.

Why no hair, though? Well, considering that the graphics on it are worse than Halo 2's, I wouldn't believe that it is completely rendered. And hair is probably the last thing on the rendering list (it is an add-on).

We have never seen the wealth of Brute technology; we've only seen what they carry onto Elite-made places (High Charity, other Capital Ships...). Brutes must have much different technology than Elites, simply because their races were separated for so long. New gun, new armor, new look, new chieftain carrying all these things out (Tartarus died in Halo 2).

It could be Forerunner or the Drisnol (or whatever the new race is), easily. But if it is something we've seen before, the evidence points to a Brute.

the closest one is NOT a brute, I am almost 100% sure of that, but the furthers one, and even mabye the middle one could be...

Too tall to be a grunt, too scrawny to be a brute, too short to be an elite,and too tall and beefy to be a drone. I hypothisize that it is either a new covenant recruit or new a valuable alien asset to us homosepians. Most likely a new covenant recruit.

Or maybe Bungie decided to add another Covie as they did in Halo 2. Anybody think of that? I am probably wrong but who knows.

I have walked the edge of the Abyss. I have governed the unwilling. I have witnessed countless empires break before me. I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear. [I was there with the Angel at the tomb] I have seen your future. And I have learned.There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy. I HAVE WON. Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong: THIS is the way the world ends. -Cortana

Looks like a brute to me.
At first I thought grunt then got a closer view and its a Brute with new armor.

I agree that it could be something different and doubt that it is a human, but you forget thatthe humans may team up with the elites in which their would be a trade of knowledge in technology.

think about this the covenant love to borrow things from the forerunners. maybe the all the armor weve seen from the cov. (with the execption of grunts) are in fact armor used by the Forerunners. if this is the case then those "things" in the doc. are FORERUNNERS!!!!!!!!

to me it looks more like an elite. look at the mouth. its legs look bent so it is probably taller than it looks, so its not a grunt or drone.
but its neck looks nothing like the neck of an elite.

Mabey the Engineers are fighting now, perhaps as suicide bombers. Awww man I hate suicide bombers. They are "unusually" annoying, but it should be okay as long as we still have recharging health.

Have you forgotten that not all grunts use the same gas tank?
I think you're setting up for a whole lot of confusion when you claim that new equipment makes a new character.

Those are actually Forerunners, in battle armor, since they do not fit the profile of any known Covenant species, or they are Elites in their traditional battle armor, instead the armor the Prophets bestowed upon them.

Did those big words make your brain hurt?
:P


sorry for double posting but to this guy wth man are you saying that if bungie intros a new character into the game it would be a forerunner? god come on your mind is like one track only "oo look its a new character" "omg its forerunner" wth man

you might as well say that brutes were forerunners cuz they were introduced in halo 2

yeah seriously. forerunner no longer exist. it's like saying "those are ancestors"
forerunner is a collective term just like covenant. it is a descriptive term for a group.
