"Any survivors?"
"Scanning..... No, just us and Echoes"

Actually it was:

"Scanning... No, just Dust and Echoes..."

i.e. debris. You can download a blooper involving the same line and listen to it if you want.

I thought it was "dust and echoes" Cortana said myself. I guess its supposed to be a funny comment, more emphasis on sarcasm please next time. Great attempt though!

check the e3 demo from 2003 when the master chief does his melee combo u see the gun which the brute wields but then shortly after dissapears (possibly because bungie doesnt want the master chief to wield this weapon early in the game)

ok i will, but why do that with the gun, its cheesy! they could have you pick it up, press the triger to see what id does, then nothing, quatana says "hmmm must have some safty we dont know about, leave it!" That would be better than it disapearing dont ya think, hmmm maybe ill become a games developer............

yea, maybe but by the time halo 2 comes out bungie might decide on letting us use the gun in the first level nobody can say

judging from the look of the brute and their names they're gonna have big club and go around whacking things.

Actually seriuosly I swear I remember seeinga picture or reading something about their weapon but I can't find it anyweher in bungie. If anyone else has seen it lemme know Im not going mad. For what I remember it had a giant bayonet like thing on it for stabbing with, a grenade launcher and some kinda high calibre bullet system which sems unlikely for covenant. In fact it might have been on this board ages ago from what some guy read in the books or something.... I dunno. But that would be a cool gun if I am insane.

take a look at the 2003 e3 demo you see it clearly and you see what types of rounds it shoots they are like more powerfull but slower plasma rifle rounds

In the June issue of OXM there is a great picture of the brut holding his gun. It has a big blade at the end for meleeing. They say somewhere that it is some kind of a cannon.

Actually Frankie has said that they were working on the Elites holding the Brute Gun AND the multiplayer Elites holding the Brute Gun. Looks like we're going to get to use it....

Cheers for the correction Phoenix, maybe its like that but with a plasma rifle instead of bullets. Who knows, From what God Halo Fan said it sounds like it may be a covenant only weapon, which would make multiplayer interesting tactically if you could only wield certain weapons as Covenant or human, it would stop that just being a skin effectively I guess.

screenshots in within bungie cancel that theory out cus there are elites with smg's masterchiefts with needlers and plasma rifles and if that were true nobody would want to be elites cus the battle rifle will be sick as and not using that would really pi ss me off i know that for a fact

They were working on the elites using it.... they have probably already sorted the MC's and Brute's animations.... guns in Mplayer that are only useful to one team would be BLAM

I didn't mean all guns but maybe just one or two. Itw ould make choosing yourself as Elite or Spartan more of a tactical one rather than simply a superficial one.

There are two reasons, I think, that the gun might have dissaperaed. Either Bungie did not want people to see the gun or they are not finisheed and they are going to make it better. Remember, there are 6 months till the game ships.
