It's true that just because something would be balanced doesn't mean that it wouldn't be stupid, but you've yet to convince me (and probably anyone else in this thread) why it's stupid in the first place. Put things into context.
Brutes should never be in for copious reasons.
* Brutes do not have shields, they have lots of life to make up for it. This changes the whole aspect of it. The object is that all models are equal, and the only real factor to winning is skill. Elites work because the only real difference from a Spartan is shape. Brutes are very resistant to plasma, and their punches are harder/faster. Obviously, you can change the punch thing but that would be stupid because Brutes are stronger than Spartans and Elites.
* Shields regenerate, life does not. I don't want Brutes going around getting medpacks. If Brutes get shields then they'd have to have the same amount of life/sheild as Spartans and Elites. This would be utterly retarded, to change the whole fact that Brutes are these strong, resilient beasts, just to put it as a Playable Character.
* Brutes have little caps on their heads which make them require 2 sniper headshots. This makes it very unbalanced. You can take of their caps for the model but then... why would they suddenly stop using these caps to protect their heads? It'd be retarded, changing the Brute for the role.
* Brutes do not have the armor and computer stuff hooked up to them. Elites and Spartans do, thus they have a HUD and Brutes do not.
look, my point is, THE ONLY WAY to haveanother multiplayer skin is if it is perfectly balanced. this thread is not a discussion about new mp avatars! also, if it does not have shields it is not balanced!
