I analyzed it as best I could, and I'm not claiming to be 100% right, but I just strongly doubt that those are brutes.

It's all in the face. The eyes of a brute ar slightly back from the mouth, this creatures are almost right at the front, like an elites (assumptions nonwithstanding). Also, a brutes head has a high cranium which slpes donwards. In this picture, the creatures armor has no such bulge at the back. Compare it with any brute picture on the web, and youll see the armor can't possibly be covering up the correct angle or hight difference between the top of the skull and the mouth of a brute. Therefore it's either a new species, an elite, or a grunt (i know the arms are bulgy but that could possibly be armor or who knows. the model may not be finished yet).

Your observation about the head shape seems true. These guys are definitely new species, maybe from the same planet as Brutes (just a random guess based on the fur).

Just put [url] at the start of the link, and [/url] at the end.

If you want to be really fancy, you can put

As much as I want to see a Halo 3 Elite, I don't think that is one. I think that's a new species. It is definately not a Brute becuase the arms are not as bulbus (spelling?), they don't have hairy arms, and thier whole structure of their body is different.

OK, yes, it is very true that I'm a dumb ass. I'm not denying that. However, isn't the whole point of a beta to increase the amount of users until you get someone dumb enough to try something you haven't anticipated.

TheElitesArentThatBig

If I remember correctly the Elites weren't chubby bastards last time I looked maybe just the one on the screen is for some reason a little big.

They look like Brutes to me. The one thing that those of you who say that they are Elites is because you are precieving the nostril to be the creature's eye, whereas I am seeing this nostril as well, a nostril. The eye is in heavy shadow right behind that.

  • 06.13.2006 4:05 PM PDT

I still think it's a Brute, I don't think Bungie would stick in a new alien in the videos just yet.

I asked for the screen shot becuase from what i here he might have a clearer picture of the video freeze frame i have. I think its definatly a grunt becuase you can enlarge object you know! and that looks like a mask for a grunt!

its still a brute...ur argument is that the brutes head slopes up...but this isnt needed with the pictured armor...in the picture the helmet doesnt slop because it is already elevated above the snout/mouth of the brute at the front of its face...old brute helmets were skin tight at the nose, these are elevated, hence the lack of a slope at the rear.

Someone set up us the bomb
on XBL i'm Gangsta Assasin

it looks like an elite's head to me too. but some of the other creatures visible look different, as does the figure seen walking behind the row of critters.

  • 06.13.2006 4:48 PM PDT

I think that it might be a new species. when I first saw it I thought that it was simply an armored brute, but looking at it more I think that I have to agree that the head doesn't look right. Not only does it not slope, but if you look how far it reaches out it also seems too elongated. Then I thought that maybe it was an elite, but once again there were diffences that i think rule out that possibility. First it looks too bulky, and two the neck doesn't appear long enough. Then I have heard people say that it is a grunt, but I think that it looks to big and bulky for a grunt, the arms and legs are too long, and the posture of the creature just doesn't seem to fit. Seeing as this creature has differences from any previously encountered species I would go with the thought that it is entirely new.

its most likely a brute that the covenant decided to equip in order to be the equivelant of separtist (elite) ranger.

im more intrested in the weapons they're holding...


edit: upon closer inspection i have to agree its a new species. look at the mouth it doesn't resemble a brute at all

its obviously not a grunt if you look at the elbow, grunts have a spiked protrusian (spelling) coming out of the forarm.

as for it being an elite, everything is wrong the shape color and the armor doesnt have the elites usual sleek style

so all things considered my vote goes new species or a sub species of brutes

i think its a grunt, and nice find on the shot gun.

Why couldn't it be a brute with a differently shaped head? Like a subspecies of Brute? There are several examples in the animal kingdom of animals that have subspecies that differ from each other in many ways.

It could also just be the angle. Or the fact that this is an early render.

It's not on Lake Victoria. The lake is further inland than Kilimanjaro. Mombasa is on the coast. We are looking at Mombasa in the trailer, with Kilimanjaro behind and to the right. Therefore, the structure is nowhere near Lake Victoria.
