I was arguing on another forum site and the discussion came up on whether or not Fred-104 killed a Brute with his bare hands. I don't have the book and I'm not sure how reliable the wiki is (it states that Fred did in fact do that). I was wondering if someone could provide a quote disproving or proving that he did in fact perform this feat.

Much appreciated!

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

I don't have the book on hand, but I'm almost positive there is no moment on Unyielding Herophant where Fred kills a Brute with his bare hands.

John almost did when he wrestled with one, but he ended up killing it by tripping the Brute and putting a grenade under the beast, blowing it to hell.

Correction, John tried pinning the brute down, twisted an arm back (past the point an elite or human arm would've snapped). Brute started lifting them both up with a single hand, and John stuffed a grenade in the brute's belt and knocked the supporting hand to the side.

However, There is no mention as I recall of the other Spartans specific fights against the brutes other then the fact they did. Fred isn't said to have killed a brute with his hads last I checked.

What a waste....

That never happened, IIRC. Will killed a hunter in CQC, but that was inside Onyx.

No. The only fight between a brute and a spartan we hear about durning first strike is that of John and he BARELY survived that. You or your friend is thinking about Will who fought a hunter in hand to hand combat during the battle for the core room of Onxy and that was after Holly gave her life in order to save Kelly's.
