If you're spending all this time redefining the Brutes, does this mean the other opponents will be receiving less attention in design than the Brutes? I'm specifically thinking of the Elites.

More simply, are Elites as fun to fight in Halo 3 as Brutes? Less? More?

I don't think they're focusing less attention to the Elites or any other creatures. This ViDoc is specifically for the Brutes. And I'm not so sure we'll be fighting the Elites as much or at all for that matter in Halo 3.

Frankie: How long will it take me to play the Campaign?

I flew through Gears in 8 hours, Call of Duty 3 in about 7, Rainbow 6 Vegas in about 7.

Will Brutes be the biggest enemies in Halo3?
Will the Brute be able to grab a Grunt and throw it at Mc?
Who would win a fight 10 Grunts or 2 Brutes?
Will the brute be able to manhandle a Hunter...?

Why the duck do you want dual energy swords??????
They kill with one hit, doesn't get much better than that.

Brute Hammers.
Man cannons.
No MP coop online modes.
Bringing back the Arbiter.
No more elite opponents. Instead human elite alliance.
Fighting crappy brutes.
Stupid looking lights on weapons.

I'm done with Halo. You guys obviously haven't listened to a thing us fans have been saying.

Hey, what ever happened to the Elites?!? in all of the MP screen shots, I've never seen any Elites, I've seen a lot of 1337 players playing as the MC, but no elites, I saw a Elite shot in a CGI clip in the Video, but other then that, just brutes.
Edit | didn't see this,

hey Frankie! I'm still holding out to hear you folks will have other characters in mulitplayer. you remember "Goldeneye" and "The World Is Not Enough" for the N64? the developers of those 2 titles REALLY pulled out ALL (or most of) the stops in multiplayer! You could be just about everybody from James Bond to a villian, a hot girl from the game, or a thug to name a few MP characters...

Why not have generic characters for mulitplayer expanding on just spartans & elites? Why not Human marines, other covenant, & whatnot? those are generic characters and everbody in matchmaking could actually stand out more and if the ability to 'record' moments from H3 is really for machinima, then it would be perfect to those who make it!

You should read the books. The covenant have a close called the Engineers. They understand the most about forerunner tech. They do not bother in conflicts, but they are capable of repairing all types of things with their many tenticles. They are the techs in covies

I played through on Heroic and Legendary and I found the conflicts with the Brutes to be some of the most fun. Maybe because they could throw grenades clear across the screen, or because you knew if there was 3 and you killed 2, the last was going to go nuts and charge you, - which kills with on hits on these levels. I thought they were pretty cool. But hey there is always room for improvement. Come on guys are you telling me you didn't come to dislike Tarturus and his dogmatic behavior. I like the Brutes, because while the Elites are all noble and all that, the Brutes are more into the concept of profit and glory - screw nobility when all I really want to do is kill something.

I enjoyed the Arbiters b oards, specially the last one, when you have 2 hunters behind you, but the consensus is right, the battle should focus on the Chief. also, does any one remember those cool pics of the shock troops - now does anyone remember actually seeing them in the game.

OK 1 time you fight beside them all game. They were supposed to be the best of best marines. I dont' recall the board but it's when you are taking that hill with the aztec like ruin. They wer cool and Tactical like the Spartans but just human and not shielded. I sure hope we see more actions with them involved.

Gawd, something just hit me, what does a brute look like when he becomes a combat form? Ooooh, that could be a problem.

Hello, this is my first post in the forums, Im always a lurker, I feel like what needs to be said is often said by someone else, until now....Im pi...ticked off, Ive been trying to dl the Halo 3 trailer only to find out it will not be available in my country, and i was like what the fu...Is it some sort of racism, is it not enough that I pay 20% over American MSRP (Gears of War cost me $780 pesos, thats about $75 US) with a salary that is around $250US a MONTH! What the hell! And you guys wonder why piracy is so rampant in this here fourth world corrupted country...

just to comment on what has been said above

>i think it would be cool to have little stories/modes in multiplayer (ie - survive flood waves) as that would add an all round bullet pumping experiance!
>i think being able to be different people (ie - flood, grunt, marine) would deffinately be cool, but it would be unfair. imagine team capture the flag. [blue team - spartan, elite] - [red team - grunt, marine].....no guessing who would win!
>and yes...deffinately should be able to pilot UNSC/Covenant dropships...imagine the fun multiplayer would have with dropships!

Are the tactics of the Brute troop going to get more advanced with the level of difficulty in Halo 3 or are their weapons just going to shoot faster and do more damage?

  • 12.21.2006 12:09 PM PDT

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
Teach a man religion, and he will starve to death praying for a fish.

Why, I believe I saw a Marine getting his arms ripped off! Sickness.

Very interesting Vidoc, guys! The current design for the Brutes' armor looks really cool. The final motion capture shot left me a little curious, though.

If you're refering to the hockey-stick, its for the brute's hammer-swing.
