Brutes in Halo 5? A quick discussion.

Posted on by

I’d LOVE to see Brutes back in Halo again. Be they enemies, whether or not with the Covies again, or even as allies.

Can you imagine being able to play as a Brute co-op campaign like you could as an elite in Halo 3? AWESOMESAUCE!

Okay, yes, I know all about the great schism. So having loyalist Brutes would likely be out. I just can’t see them working along side Elites anymore.

The too could be a rogue faction. Now that they are a space faring race again, we could see a change in their behavior to allow them to develop in the field of science. A long shot yes, but they did once attain space flight before fighting amongst themselves brought them back to a pre-industrialized age.

I can see it being plausible to have them as playable Co-op characters. Having them as allies would give your campaign team some more muscle. Imagine being able to play as a Brute Chieftan? WOW! Even if they are NPC (Non-playable characters) instead, I still would like to see them back in Halo. I wonder how 343 would alter them? Really, they are pretty decent in Reach. Halo 3 was even better, IMO. So somewhere in between would be fin with me. Just for gawd sakes don’t make them look TOO ape-ish.

As for how they would fit into the story of Halo 5? Well, considering we know there are Brutes living among humans and other former Covenant races on Human controlled worlds, while it might seem far-fetched, I think it’s in the realm of happening.

So what do you folks think? Want to see Brutes back in Halo? How do you think they would be implemented? Enemy? Ally? Playable or not?

I’d like to hear your ideas on this too!

One thought on “Brutes in Halo 5? A quick discussion.”

  1. Bringing Brutes back into the mix would make for an interesting change in the type of enemies you would face. I don’t know if I could see them as allies because they are not an elegant enemy like the Elites. While Elites are vicious, they seem like a more thoughtful enemy. Brutes seem (to me anyway) a very thuggish type of enemy. Both are extremely tough, but just in different ways and I cannot see them as allies of the UNSC. However, if you could work out an Elite vs Brute playlist, that would be pretty interesting.
