Which brute looks better?

Bungie’s design looks a million times better. Though one could argue that the brute you’re referring too is a chieftan with special armor for its rank, and is also Convenant armor, where the other is banished armor. That being said the design overall is still a million times better.

I don’t understand why 343 is so stuck on making everything look like plastic. That Banished Brute’s armor looks like plastic from a toy.

Yeah if were being honest, the infinite brutes we saw were generic infantry, compared to a Chieftan from 3.

Same of the Infinite brutes even have armor resembling the generic brutes from 3. Just tweak the lighting/material (metal) properties and we’ll be good.

They did the same thing with their halo 5 warzone maps. These brutes look like mega blocks

Yeah basically everything in H5 (and so far what we saw in the Infinite gameplay) looks like plastic. It’s like they ran out of metal in the entire galaxy.

The Brutes in Halo 2 Anniversary, Halo Wars 2 and now Infinite don’t seem to be as distinguished as the classic Halo 2 or Halo 3 Brutes. Their physically flatter faces, expressions and behaviour are far too Orc-like, making them feel less unique to Halo. I’d expect to fight enemies exactly like these new Brutes in Shadow of Mordor, not Halo.
