Not plausible for the storyline. The only reason the Sangheili multiplayer character model is in Halo 2, is because you play as the Arbiter in Campaign mode.

It doesn't matter if it's not plausible for the storyline. How is the concept of Spartans teaming up with Elites killing other Spartans that have teamed up with Elites to capture three Flags to win a battle plausible to the Halo storyline?

Yes they could, they could also have them wield flowers and shoot bunnies from their eyes. The point is just because it would be balanced doesn't mean it wouldn't be stupid.

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.

but bungie could still put shields on one for the sake of balance. same with marines.

No, that would make it so that if a Brute has shields, its like fighting someone with Overshild. To the marine, hell no. Marines don't have mjolinir, and thus, no shields.

The Brutes could have shields that are equal to the shields of Spartans and Elites. As for the Marines, they could have a shield generator without much armor.

Brutes are 8ft tall, Spartans and Elites are 7ft.

That's probably true, but the Brutes in the Mulitplayer could be a little bit shorter than the Brutes in the Campaign. Also, the Brutes in the Halo 3 Campaign might be about the same size as the Spartans and the Elites.

It would still be good if all of the player skins were balanced with each other. Players often quit if their teammates have an Elite model in Halo 2, so they may also quit if their teammates have an unbalanced model in Halo 3.

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.

Those are all true for the Campaign, but in the Multiplayer, they can have shields, they can have a small amount of health, they don't have to have helmets, and they can have a Heads-Up-Display.

Brutes are just out of the line.
Anyway i wouldn't whant to play as a brute because it's not like u can chose their hair color(maybee the armor but they barely have any), they would just be not as customisable as the others so bungie likes to keep things customizable.

And it wouldn't make any sense. Yes, it doesn't have to correlate to the Campaign but it'd sure be retarded to change it just for Multiplayer.

And it also wouldn't change the fact that they are stupid monkeys that throw poo.

There are a lot of things that don't correlate to anything in the Halo and Halo 2 Multiplayers. Besides, I think that Bungie would only have to change the skins and some values to allow the Brutes to be used as a skin in the Multiplayer of Halo 3.

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!

I completely agree having brutes and marines and maybe even grunts with sheilds makes as much sense as wasting 100's of spatans to capture a flag

Grunts wouldn't really be good because of the size and the proportion of the hitboxes, but my point is that the story argument doesn't really matter in Multiplayer.

Spartans and Elites only


think about having a brute MP skin, and joining pink team

"Thoughts are the shadows of feelings; always darker, emptier, and simpler."

W8! Please don't flame this idea.

Why doesn't bungie make it so that IF you play as brutes there is no sheild on them but an invisible sheild. Like on the hud a sheild thingy appears but sheilds dont show on the brute.

  • 07.08.2006 2:11 AM PDT

"Thoughts are the shadows of feelings; always darker, emptier, and simpler."

There should be any skin avalible in games that are invite only or closed.
But think, prophets or hunters cant drive hogs.

Doesn't matter if prophets can drive hogs or not, they get evil chairs of doom that have short range teleporters, and hunters are suppost to run faster than spartans & elites, but it still doesn't matter because they would be overpowered or underpowered (prophets teleport, but are slow, and hunters are faster & get run down by vehicles so they couldn't add them without making them stronger or weaker than the others).
