Brutes > Elites | |

I suspect a good bit of you are pretty butthurt over what happened to your precious Eweetz in Hawo Too. Ya know, those mean 'ol bwoots When a game is meant to be played on Heroic and not Normal or Easy, then having an Enemy who is practically a Bullet Sponge and uses Melee constantly is a great challenge for the player.
They were ENGINEERS
We never saw them in battle because they weren't a species USED FOR BATTLE. Brutes, I mean, look at them.
Get over it.
I have not seen once someone ask why we suddenly have all these new weapons being made during the sequels, or why Bungie can't stay consistent with their portrayal of Humanity at all, from changing great designs of cities which look like they fit in the Halo universe, to stuff like what we have in New Mombasa, which is basically just every building we ALREADY have, pasted together, and slapped with fictional corporate logos. Or the design of Human armor. From awesome Aliens inspired armor, which Inspired the whole of the Halo universe, to craptastic armor in Halo 2, to Great but not as good as the giant hunks of brown steel in Halo CE. At least the enemy has stayed consistent and evil, hm? I love Brutes.
Brutes are more fun to fight than Elites.
As for Story reasons why I love them.
Imagine a pack of Jiralhanae climbing into the tall trees of Doisac, wielding their hammers and knives and whatever brute designed weapons they have. Imagine a Chieftain of this particular clan yelling from the back in his native grunts and language to attack an unsuspecting clan.
Now, Imagine such a being being confronted with The Covenant, seeing more species, learning of these new gods which overtook their own.
Think of them in the same way one thinks of the Lekgolo.
Imagine the tensions.
I can see Brutes and Jackals hanging out, discussing how they like to tear into their enemies during a battle with their claws, and teeth. Think of their religion.
What would their stories be?
How were they raised?
Anyway
