When was it announced officially that brutes aren’t Halo 4
Never, OP.
However, we have not seen even a peep of their return in Halo 4 so any hope of such is kinda low.
ok because there’s another thread saying how they’re not and their vehicles aren’t in it
They need to bring back the Gorillas we have come to know and love and forget the reach trolls ever existed.
> They need to bring back the Gorillas we have come to know and love and forget the reach trolls ever existed.
I’m going to assume you’re not talking about H3’s Elite-wannabe Brutes and that you’re talking about H2’s, in which case, they were almost exactly the same as Reach’s Brutes.
Unless you’re talking appearance-wise, in which case, Reach’s were much better looking (they looked like weasels in H2).
Although I’d be okay if they weren’t in the game. I’d rather they concentrate on Prometheans and whatever other Forerunner enemies.

We also need to forget about the Halo 3 troll/gorilla hybrids. Halo 2 Brutes ftw! I hope Brutes return as some sort of a surprise in the Campaign, maybe on our side against the bad Storm Covie dudes.
Oh damn! Brutes were my favourite to fight in Halo 3, they gave it that amazing feeling!
As did their weapons and vehicles. I’m so, so, so, so sad to see them go. 
Honestly we havent even really seen that much of campaign, and maybe they just werent in that part of the demo from E3. And we only saw 1 spartan ops mission. Maybe they werent in that either.

Oy, I doubt that’ll happen. Considering that they’re more than willing to cook their teammates for food and play tug-of-war with tissue-paper humans for the lulz, I think Brute alliances are the farthest thing on the UNSC’s mind.
I’m OK with the Brutes not making a reappearance. They were never interesting to fight.

Did “The Pack will feast on you!” not give you a hint that their intentions were definately not to make friends with Humanity? They are monstorous alien gorillas, not big fluffy Care-Bears who only need a hug.

But you have to admit that would be a cool twist, like the other way around from how Halo 3 was.
Think about brute chieftains along side with MC; hell 343 could put an achievement in the game; “Chief of Chiefs”

I suppose.
Although there’ll be a plot-twist later on where they get hungry and turn on you, and it cuts to a shot of Lord Hood dopeslapping someone yelling “When did you think this was a good idea?!”

Weird, I knew you were gonna link to that pic 
But that’s just concept art. This is how they turned out. Chewbacca.
> I’m OK with the Brutes not making a reappearance. They were never interesting to fight.
Exactly, there were never enough difference between brutes and elites when it come to fighting. Their AI was pretty straight forward and the only tactic required was “stay at range, fire all you got”, at best hairy bullet sponges. If they return I want them to be different, make an impact, big, mean, furious! Like a hairy Jason clone chasing me around, scary and strong and raging like few!
Read a book dudes, at the time of glasslands the brutes were well on their way towards infighting each other back to the stone age as they had before they joined the covenant. I seriously doubt we’ll be seeing them or their vehicles as the “covenant” we have seen thus far seem to be a ramshackle group of the species who once made up the covenant, holding onto some kind of blind hope of finding something.
If there’s no Brutes in H4, I won’t be too bothered by it. However I will miss hearing them say ‘He was my lover!’ after I just killed a Brute in front of another.

I wouldn’t even mind that look if they didn’t make the face look so trollish. However I would prefer a hairy looking brute with visible fangs and give it some armor.
If they do return, I hope their Halo 2 rampage returns with them. As annoying as that thing was, it was still epic…

I just think H2 and H3’s Brutes were sorta cartoonish, like Bungie was trying too hard to make them monsters and made them unintentionaly comical as a result.
Also, I think the Brute’s whole schtick is that they don’t need much armor. It made the H3 Brutes seem weird, after fighting those bullet-sponges in Halo 2, we had guys with even MORE armor who somehow fell faster. More fur is fine, though. Helps make them more savage.
