If Brutes return....

So if our fuzzy friends return in H5 would you like their original weapons to return with some new ones? Would you also want a new Brute vehicle?

(I don’t think I need a whole new thread for the Flamethrower so would you also like to see this back?)

The Brute Chopper is one of the best vehicles in Halo. I can’t understand why Reach and Halo 4 left it out of multiplayer, but it certainly needs to return for Halo 5.

Sure, the flamethrower is welcomed.

Also, I can see the brutes using a Gyrocopter as a new vehicle. The 1 thing Brutes are missing in there weapon Arsenal is a precision rifle. I more often than not, look at brutes about the same way as Locust from Gears.

My idea for a Brute Precision rifle uses spikes and headshot multipliers. Not only will it be the only gun to use multipliers in Halo, but it will be the 1st precision automatic. The shots will be accurate and spread compressed. It will have range like Carbine or Br. So it will have a scope and be automatic, while using multipliers. It will be a new addition to halo. Like a better Spiker, but more accurate, though the spiker should still win up close.

Do you mean the chopper? If so I would also like this to return.

343, make this happen.

Yeah. I have no idea why the hell I typed Chief.

What your describing kind of reminds me of the Needle Rifle. I would prefer your version over the Needle Rifle since we already have the Carbine.

Thinking about it that would look sweet.

If brutes return, Halo would be halo again & i want the chopper & brute plasma rifle back. Or make a Brute Storm Rifle.

I almost forgot about the Brute prowler. I don’t remember much about it, but I do recall the turret sucking. I hope they improve it.

> If brutes return, Halo would be halo again & i want the chopper & brute plasma rifle back. Or make a <mark>Brute Storm Rifle</mark>.

I would prefer that the Brute Plasma Rifle return.

It wouldn’t even make sense to have a Brute Storm Rifle because that was the Storm faction’s version of the Plasma Rifle.

Oh, right ._.

I would love for Brutes to return. I don’t have any ideas for weapons and vehicles that beat out the gyrocopter and precision spike rifles ideas in the comments above me however I always thought the Brutes ‘berserker mode’ needed a little fine tuning.

It was supposed to be this idea that when Brutes get angry, they just blindly charge anything in their way. However, in the games they always focus on the player, nothing else. Having an alien that randomly goes charges in a blind fury is great but it doesn’t really work when they can obviously still focus. I think they’d be even more terrifying if they just destroyed/killed anything and everything, even their allies. (Just to clarify, they wouldn’t jus get angry and kill some grunts without even looking at you, they’d charge you and if you got away while a grunt was stupid enough to get in his way, the Brute wouldn’t stop for the grunt.)

Also, to have a few of them that will always immediately go into their ‘berserker mode’ as soon as they see you would toughen things up a little bit.

Hmm reading this again makes me realize how my statement sounded a bit mean. I’m sorry about that. :slight_smile:

brutes really need to return, the covenant went from 8 species in reach to 4 in h4, deff adds some needed variety to the covy ai. and h5 deff needs more vehicles, h4 had even less then reach.

I would love brutes to return and all their gear plus some. As for the flamethrower YESH! That needs to come back. But throwing this out there, are we talkin about brutes returning in campaign or both campaign and multiplayer?

Hmmm this is a touchy subject apparently… so I just wanted to know what people thought of Brutes and their weapons/vehicles returning (hopefully). :slight_smile:

No plasma please, just crude metal blades, sadistic ammunition, and Brute ingenuity.

hahaha, nah. Its cool, dude. I was gonna get told eventually (x

> <mark>No plasma please</mark>, just crude metal blades, sadistic ammunition, and Brute ingenuity.

Aww but the red plasma was so cool.

Imagine the Needle Rifle in Brute form with a blade… nice.

The only way I would want the Brute Plasma Rifle back is if you can dual wield. The only way that thing was anywhere useful was if you unleashed a close range storm of hellfire with that and an SMG. Single wield that thing and you’re gonna overheat every time before doing any damage.

I like the ideas of the spike precision rifle, but what if had alternate fire modes? Like it were the Wookie Crossbow from Star Wars Battlefront II. Normally, it has an automatic fire that’s less powerful. But if you charge it up for a few seconds, you can unleash one shot, that if it hits it’s an instant shield drop, followed by another hit (in the head) that’s a kill. It’s a three-shot with a charge and no-headshots, but a two-shot if the second shot is in the head. Make the charge timing similar to the BR so that there are no balancing issues. And of course, fix a bayonet on it.

Also, what about the Prowler? Do we want that back and souped up a bit so it’s actually useful?
