Coming back to Halo 5 in June, I noticed that the sentinel beam had been added to the game, as well as other weapons that were before monitors bounty. I think other fun additions to Halo 5 would be the Spiker, Sticky Detonator, Type 52 Pistol and Brute Shot, Type 52 and Brute Shot especially which haven’t seen combat for a decade like the sentinel beam.
Damn, I miss Sticky Detonator. It was so versatile. Brute Shot and Concussion Rifle basically function the same, but Brute Shot looks way cooler.
However, I don’t see them including the Brute weapons as likely, since there are no Brutes in the main series anymore. (Not sure about Wars 2). But they did keep the Gravity Hammer, which is a Brute weapon, so they have no excuse not to include them.

Did I miss something? Did the brutes go extinct?

fyi in hw2 brutes are the main enemy and it seemed at one point they were thinking about adding in brute weapons when hw2 launched but for some reason didn’t follow through on that idea.

Good to know that 343 remembers them. It’s kind of disappointing that they’re not in 4 or 5. Here’s hoping they make a comeback in 6!

What is forgotten is my favorite enemy the Drones. They did not make a return with the brutes even tho lore wise always worked closely on brute ships and was introduced to the series in the same game. They sadly will probably never be seen from again.
fyi they don’t even have a forum picture for them that’s how much they are forgotten.
Considering multiplayer in Halo 5 is canon, if the banished are in Halo 6 they could add these weapons to war zone, which could imply that the infinity is preparing to use these weapons again, as well as have them used against them. Similar to the grunt goblins and other weapons and enemies added to Halo 5.

i think what would be cool is with the h3 piston you were permanently dual wielding them
Bring back the Brute vehicles too. Please!
I want my 
back!! Flamethrower and incineration grenades!
It’d be great to have equipment back like the Regenerator or Bubble Shield.
I think that if 343i is going to bring back brute weapons in a patch, if it’s their last patch, they need to bring the big guns, bring every brute weapon from Halo 2, 3 and Reach, and every vehicle that they used in Halo 3 and Halo Wars 2. It needs to be a massive release not just the spiker and the brute shot, it needs to be a massive inclusion of these REQs and variants.

I personally feel that bringing back Brute weaponry like the Brute Shot and Spiker (maybe even the Chopper as a vehicle!) as REQs is quite possible, seeing as how they have already brought in the Gravity Hammer and the Brute Plasma Rifle, both part of the Brute arsenal.
I could see the Brute Shot being some cheap explosive weapon for crowd-control and harassment by having a fast fire rate and extreme knockback but having light damage (basically the way it was in Halo 3). Also, to set it more apart from the Fuel-rod, it could have an instant melee kill function with the bayonet on it.
Inplementing the Spiker, however, will be a little bit tricky considering that its role is mostly fulfilled by the Brute Plasma Rifle. Maybe its spike projectiles is ineffective against the advanced Spartan IV shielding, but it does insane damage to unshielded targets? Similar to the Brute Shot, it could also have an instant kill melee due to its sick blade attached.
As for the Chopper, it could be a heavier version of the Ghost with more punch, but sucky accuracy and handling, and little protection for the driver. It could also have some sort of increased ram damage mechanic to allow it to cripple other light vehicles (for instance, the Warthog) if it boosts into them at full speed.
These are my ideas as to how adding in more classic Brute REQS could be done, feel free to tell me what you think.
Oh don’t forget the Prowler. There’s probably plenty more that this thread has mentioned.
