I'm sorry if this was already posted like 1,000 times but at 3:01 of the video that Bungie released about the making of the announcment trailor it looks like you can see a line of Brutes with jetpacks on. More interesting it also looks like they are holding pistols that have a blade attached to the bottom..... kindov like the blade on the end of the brute shot in H2. Anyone agree?

Yeah im not shure what that is... The jet packs looked a little uh... not cool to me... and It seemed like a plasma pistol with a scope... It looked like buzz from toy story but maybe thats just me or a bad angle... I really don't know what it is though, sorry...

Well, for all we know, they could be a whole new race. Best not start speculating now, because it might turn out that they won't be in the game at all.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

Maybe they can just jump relly high. Those energetic nutters go psycho during a fight.

In a way, they look like Elites with Spartan armor, but that would just be rediculous.

I'm more interested in the weapon they are holding. I'm almost sold on the fact that it's a pistol with a blade.

My hat off to you for steering discussion away from the creatures holding the guns, and aiming at the actually guns themselves. The race (and gender) of the unknown creatures has already been discussed to death by the "ZOMG tHeerYY!!" crowd...

Personally I am very anxious to hear if Bungie has anything to say about the new weapon, especially with Frankie taunting us about "The weapon that he got used to using that wasn't in Halo 2". Oh but to be an inside man, how fun it would be..

the farthest back brute in the pic that u can see his pistol thing looks like it has a scope so maybe a new halo1 type pistol? to shut up all the annoying ppl that -blam!- about it being taking out of halo 2. i doupt this is the weapon frankie was talking about though, i dont see how a pistol could rlly change gameplay that much or b that fun to use

Oh I'm sure there are a few of us.. to say the least ;)

I've been thinking about it all and it all seems to make sense. I am assuming that the creature in question is a Brute, so bear with me:

Assume further that the Elites, have in fact left the Covenant for good. That would leave hundreds, if not thousands of specialized roles that were previously held by Spec Ops Elites, Ranger Elites... etc etc. So with only Brutes, Jackals, and Drones to choose from, would it not be logical that the Prophets would elect the Brutes to take up the roles previously held by the Elites? They are after all the most similar to the Elites out of the remaining species..

So then this is where it all makes sense. The Shiny armour, the Brute-ish sidearm.... The Brutes have been forced to fill roles previously held by Elites. So this may very well be a new unit of Brute, like a Spec Ops Brute, or a Ranger Brute... Scary either way.

im saddened by your efforts. but sorry to burst your bubble its not a brute, and its not a grunt. and its not of any covenant we know right now.
why?
ok sure it looks like a brute.
but this thing is fatter then a brute.
and you can see the lower jaw of this species and its not a brutes lower jaw.
and the head is to low and blunt.
the brutes head is more upright

if your smart and look at a pic of a brute beside this you can tell its clearly not brute.

and yes i know there is no hair on it. wup de do

i think its its somewhat like an elite cuz if u look @ the image close enuff u can see mandibles on it but its somewhat like a brute too cuz its so muscley so mayb its a elite in early production stage or a brute in early production stage or something i dunno about..

<comments and criticism welcome>

Hmm, that's an odd thing to say. But please continue:

-sorry to burst your bubble its not a brute, and its not a grunt. and its not of any covenant we know right now.

Fair enough, I can live with that. But it is just your opinion ;)

All of which most of us have considered. But is it really impossible for Brutes to exist in different shapes and sizes like human beings? Sure they all looked kind of the same in Halo 2, but with the power of the 360, don't you think each one could look a litte more... unique?

Yeah... I just don't get that last one. Sorry :S

I suggest that before anyone posts here, they should read Narcogens article-thing over at rampancy.net. It might clear up a few things.

Its definetly not a grunt thats for sure. But if you look at the arm its not as thick as the arm should be if it was a brute. I think its the new species(banshee pilots) they are talking about in the FAQ
