Personally, I really want to know what this is. I don't know why, I just do. I think that it's going to have a balance similar to that of the Brute itself: stronger than a Hunter, faster than an Elite. So I think that it'll have the rapid fire capabilities of a Plasma Rifle or pistol, but pack the punch of a fuel rod gun. I don't know, maybe I'm just being crazy. Any thoughts

SPOILERS------------------>


In First Strike, the brutes had a weapon that shot plasma grenade like things. I don't know how hast or powerful they are.

the Brute grenade launchers are powerful they tore a spartan(forgot the name) in half in one shot.

Yeah, i know about that one in First Strike, but something tells me this isn't the same thing. Maybe it'll be a single handed weapon...

Ah, dual Brute weapons...pure bliss.

Heres what I gathered from last years e3.

Speed: Its rods are fired roughly the same speed of the rocket launcher, quite a bit faster.
Rate: Its firing rate is the same as a pistol (its projectiles/second).
Homing?: It doesn't home in like the needler
Explosion?: I dont think it explodes, the brute fires at the wall and it just has a quick burst animation.

But this was last year, it has almost definately changed since then!

Why? It can easily be the same as last year showed it. Why waste time making it and then not using it? Doesn't sound right to me. I'd certainly not like it if i did all that stuff just to have it all changed again.

Ok, I also hope you can dual wield it, that would be cool as i think someones said here already.

ok...it's going to be a double-anded weapon, with a blade attached for super-powerful melee attacks. If you watch the e3 2003 demo, they shoot purple blobs; yet much probably have changed. I am not an expert and I am going off of all the pictures and videos I have seen so far.

FeRReTx is absolutly correct. If you read First Strike (that should be you all), They straight up tell you its a grenade launcher.
