In Response To: Re: Completely agree (Avateur) : Okay, so you're a 1337 vet to HBO. Yay. But you were never on the forums, but : here you are claiming you've never seen anyone say anything about Brutes : being good or cool even though you've never gone to the forums. This is : why I said your post looks trollish. : And to be honest in ODST I thought the Brutes' had a lot better AI and were
I think the Elites have the edge because their shields recharge and because they retain their weapon when berserking. And they have a certain elan: they have vigour and style. The makeover Brutes were a definite improvement over the h2 Wookies but you can only polish a turd so much. When a Brute drops his weapon he becomes a loser. Stay up high, headshot or dodge and he's guaranteed dead. When an Elite comes gunning for you, you have to take that headshot whilst under plasma fire — that knocks you out of zoom and can whittle your shields and health down to nothing really quickly. I don't know what can be done to improve Brutes without making them Elites with a different skin. This is a general problem. The more units and weapons added to the game, the harder it is to make each item unique and distinctive. I complained that Brutes didn't have much culture of their own. The Brute shot was great but the Brute plasma rifle was just a knock off of the real thing: the Elite plasma rifle. Bungie gave them a new look (which was cool), spikers, spike & flame grenades. Spikers are OK, the extra grenades spoil gameplay (for me).
