Elites vs Brutes

VS


What do you like better and who do you think would win in a fight? I like elites better because the brutes are morons and the elites would easily destroy a brute in a fight.

A Brute would be doing ok first but once it gets Angry and starts using its fists the elites is dead.ive seen it happen heeps even 2 elites against 1 brute.

The_Arbiter said...

Well i like the Elites better but in a fight a brute with bare hand or a brute shot aganst an Elite with the same weapon, than thew brute would win

uDarkWolf said...

It all depends on the situation because you have to remember that the Brutes have strength but there fighting skill is low they can get angry and charge very easily and once there in that stage they don’t think and that’s when critical mistakes are made. Because if they get pissed when fighting a elite they could easy be manipulated.

The Elites are the finest warriors in the universe but they a light and fast with weapons they can take any opponent but in a hand to hand it would be hard to say….. They don’t have enough strength to take a brute out in one hit but they are trained in hand to hand but it might not be enough for a Brute to close or one mistake SPLAT!! One dead Elite.

In a one on one fight I personally think the Elite would win because they are / were the right hand of the Covenant, they took over the home worlds of all the other Covenant members and if they can tame Hunters then a charging Brute shouldn’t be that hard.
One hit from the Brute would be certain death for the Elite. There not stupid they know that there fighting style would win hands down the brute has no strategy it just wants to crush the Elite. The Elite will just take advantage of that.

TheHunter said...

I think that the Elite would win because they have Camoflage Fields so if they had that they could just walk up to the Brute and slice it to pieces but if the Brute sees it and gets angry it would just take a frenzy and crush the Elite

bermico said...

bermico says and will always say...


I like Elites the most,but I think that a Brute will win a fight against an Elite.Brutes have tremendous strenght and wil crush any foe.An Elite by itself is NO match for a Brute.Doesn't matter what weapon the Elite is carrying, the Brute will always win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unknown said...

ok yes the brute would basically destroy the elite but if you put it into real world terms the elite would win because the elite is fast and swift. The brute is big and slow. allowing the elite to take advantage of this and kill the brute

arbiter15 said...

the elites would win but it would be a good and long war

universal keeper said...

well yes a brute would win against an elite in hand to hand but remember elites like to use strategy and brutes dont so lets say an elite with an energy sword pissed of a brute and made him charge right at the elite *shiwsh* you have a brute cut in half

If we did a Home wolrd battle like the elites try to envade the brute hmow wolrd i tink the elites wold win because the Plasma wepons and other covenant wepons were made by elites engenier and the brutes just got there projectile wepons of short renge the elites could simply use a beam rifle to take out th brutes esy

hassan said...

just think of it this a way its a strong guy vs a martial artist who do think would a someone strong or someone trained to fight

beastie_boy_95 said...

it depend,i like the elites and the brutes to much to pick between them,i think that if a squad of elites are fighting a pack of brutes ethier side could win,if the elite pulls out a energey sword then its over for the brutes but if one of the brutes gets pissed and charges like a ape then its over for the eiltes,if it happens at the same time then it depend on hows better at it,i have seen a angery brute fighting a elite with a swoerd an it went ethier way.i think both of them are cool warriors.

Unknown said...

I like Elites and Brutes the same. Brutes may gett one lucky shot an Elite once and a while but Elites easily own Brutes their faster, more agile, more acurate, less target space, can jump higher and they have a ton of better technology. Brutes have what? Gravity hammer, Brute Shot, and a Spiker. Elites own Brutes but their both equally cool.

Arbiter117 said...

I think elites because Elites just plain old pwn and brutes are just big hairy fat pig/ape/dog things

Arbiter117 said...

look it up:

Unknown said...

Ok since when does a elite just use hand to hand combat?? or anything halo for that matter? It would all depend on what weapons they have, and which elite class we are talking about. beside elite with a sword would win in a fist fight 8 out of 10 times. And in any kind of ranged combat I think the elite would win, because they use better ranged weapons then brutes(at least in halo 2).

Unknown said...

Spartan would beat both at the same time !!!!!!!!!!!!

Unknown said...

dude an elite would win i mean really there faster more accurate there more agile have better weaponry and use strategy.
Brutes on the other hand are big slow reckless they lose concentration and they have bad weaponry.

Shipmaster said...

Lets be honest.. some of you guys are plain stupid. the elites were picked over the brutes in the first place as highest ranking war lords to serve the prophets. if you have watched halo legends - dual you will see that the Arbiter new the bullshit story the prophets were making up about the 'great journey' they were only replaced by the late brutes as the elites were all becoming weary of this. youve all played halo 3.. the elites were outnumbered 3 to 1 in a space battle and destroyed the brutes. the Arbiter fucked up Tarturus in halo 2. and ofcourse the elites are far superior in fighting skill and play it tactical with invisibility and silent strikes with the energy sword. the brutes wouldnt even see it comeing. they were always rivals yet elites were always first place because they were smarter. if it wasnt for the prophets, brutes would be nothing furthermore proving my point that brutes are hairy backdates apes with a brain the size of a grape. :)

elites rule brutes drool said...

the elite would win no dout about it they could just stick active camo on and before you now it BOOM!!!!! THE BRUTE HAS BEEN KILLED BY ASSASANATION

Unknown said...

A elite would destroy a brute. Spartan IIs were stronger then brutes they murdered them. Elites are Equally as stronge. and if you actually go to Halo reach, bungie members even said themselves that Elites were Ment to be bigger/Stronger then Spartan IIs standing at 9 feet tall weighing 600-1000 pounds and could beat a Spartan II at Hand to Hand combat. The Elite would Win Hands Down. A brute in Reality isnt even that strong Compared to Spartan IIs or Elites

JST said...

Spartan = Supersoldiers like 300 Spartans vs Persians

Elites = Alien space ninjas

Brutes = ... Idk, space gorillas with slightly higher iq?

S117> elites and brutes

Elites>Brutes

Crap>Brutes

Unknown said...

O.k. well lets see. i will compare halo 3 brutes to halo reach elites. halo 3 brutes are strong and can kill u in 2 melees in normal but they are slow. and easy to stick and shoot.
Halo reach elites are Fast and agile able to sidestep gunfire and grenades and evade melees and kill u in 2 hits also... they also have better aim.
in a fight between had to hand brute vs elite the lite would win cuz all brute can do is charge angrily and an elite will easily roll/sidestep out of the way hop on the brute and and break his neck ... end of brute elite wins without being touched.

rtas vadum said...

if you played the god damn game you would know who the better warrior is and dont get spartans in to it cuse if they where so grea they would have been still around soo yea a elite is way better

Unknown said...

i think elites would win because on halo rech they have massive shields strong enough against the brutes hits but the elites have bad hits so bassicaly one way the elites could win is that take energy sword BOOM one dead brute also there trained on wepons and the brute armor SUCKS!!! accept the hero brutes on halo reach also brutes are stupid enough to shoot there partner trust me i was playing halo 3 a brust goes on a frenzy with a brute shot and he kills about 7 grunts without even touching me LOL!!! so i think elites would win peace out!!!

Those things in Halo: Reach are not Brutes. I have no idea where they came from. The best explanation I can come up with would be that the Bungie team got high and made a new species called Whoopnars, but since they were high they got confused and labeled them as Brutes.

This is a Brute:
http://www.freakygaming.com/gallery/game_art/halo/brute.jpg
Notice that the Brute is huge and looks hella pissed off, and that the it is easily holding a brute shot nearly the size of the Marine with one hand.
And we all know that holding guns with one hand is badass.

This is a Whoopnar:
http://media.photobucket.com/image/halo%20reach%20whoopnar/cubanpete24/reach_13670739_Full.jpg
Notice that the Whoopnar is more just plain ugly than intimidating, and that it holds its gun with both hands. It also has a cone head and fabio lips.

Now that that's out of the way; it really depends on the weapons and whatnot. A Brute would easily decapitate an Elite in a hand-to-hand fight. If the Elite had a sword, it could go either way. If the Elite had a plasma rifle, it could still go either way; just because Brutes are big doesn't mean they're slow. As portrayed in Halo: First Strike, Brutes are fast and can take alot of gunfire before going down. If the Elite has a fuel rod gun, then the Brute's just fucked.

In an overall war, the Elites would most likely win because they are better with technology and can operate space ships much better.

I would have to say an elite because unlike the brutes the elite are smart agile and use strategy. While the brutes have powerful gravity hammers, maulers, and spikers, the elites have mor of close and far based weaponry, if you go back to halo Odst you will notice some dead elites on the ground. The brutes killed them but if you look closely you will notice that there were very little elite bodies but there were heaps of brutes bodies. Therefore I say that the elites are the victors.

chump said...

Honestly, I've always preferred elites so I hope I don't sound biased here. But, we've picked over the fact that brutes are stronger but elites are superior strategic fighters. The elites are NEARLY as strong as brutes but MUCH smarter. Brutes have reckless tendencies and lack thoughtful offensive actions. If you research it, brutes were barely capable of technology equivalent to radios before they joined the covenant due to the fact that they were too busy just killing each other but elites had their own space warships an cruisers of their design. however, those facts aside, we are forgetting HUGELY important weapons that are essential to elites should they wage war on the brutes: needlers and needle rifles! We are all familiar with these weapons and their designs; they blow shit up when you shoot bare flesh with 6/3 needles depending on the weapon. You'll notice during firefight/campaign, it only takes 6 needler shots to down ANY brute (except chieftens) and 3 with a needle rifle. Why? Because they DO NOT HAVE ENERGY SHIELDS that must be disposed of first. If you shoot an Elite with these weapons, on the other hand, it takes several more shots to pop the shields before it even exposes the skin. This fact is immensely important, as it is a rare occasion to find a brute weilding a needle rifle in Halo Reach and they NEVER carry needlers (to the best of my knowledge) So, if these two groups waged war, I believe the elites would win, but they could simply annihilate in ground engagements by arming their infantry with these needle weapons

tough.a brute can tear the arms off a hunter and its tougher but elites are faster and have more skill also brute: gravity hammer elite:energy sword. i say elite arbiter killed tarturus.

GodBanan said...

As far as I have seen during most Halo games, the elites are quite superior, when they were backstabbed by their prophets in Halo 2 they were superior in most combats and they were undermanned.

If you wanna bring the spartan in, I usually down brutes on 3-4 shots on Heroic/Legend with a Covenant Carbine, but you'd have to hit the elite elites (Those in white armour) 4-6 times before their energy shield is gone, and then another one to finish it. A brute does not one shot you whilst enraged, but elites always one shots you.

Above posts have also proved why elites would be superior. Brutes does not have shields, so they are vulnreabale to headshots, which the elites would surely exploit. Also Banshees, Wraiths, Ghosts, Spectres, Shadown, Phantoms etc etc, belongs to the elites, so in an all out war the elites would rape the brutes. In a 1v1 the elite would win on stealth, if they werent using stealth they would headshot. The elites are also able to sidestep and the brutes have a delay after they miss with their charge so, any brutes are pretty much fucked. Especially if they pull up an energy sword and charges them from like 3 meter range.

GodBanan said...

Well, as stated above, the elites would win, even vs an enraged brute when the elite uses a plasma rifle. Even the low rank elites sidesteps like hell, and the high ranked brutes gets delay after they misses with their charge.

Also takes alot to down the elites shield, and when it's down they usually take cover and recharges it. As stated the brutes aren't very intelligent so yea, low rank elite with a plasma rifle would kill most brutes.

That was disregarding stealth and other weaponry, if the elite had any scope weapon the brute wouldn't have time to charge, as brutes are downed in only 2-3 headshots.

Now, a more fair match-up would be a Brute vs a Grunt. The brute would probably die when the grunt stucks him with a plasma. Lol.

First off, Elites (like Brutes) CAN resort to brute force if necessary. However, Elites are much better tacticians. Elites are brilliant military strategists. Brutes? Charge, roar, kill; that's their "strategy". Second, Elites are much more agile than Brutes. Sure, Brutes are strong, but Elites are too; they are also more agile and much faster. Just because you are stronger, does not mean that you can kill me. i.e. Arbiter vs. Tartarus

Something that many people seem to forget is what the elites had in the level lone wolf in halo reach. If you will recall when noble six was knocked down he knocked a energy sword out of the hand of a zealot. After that the elite activates a energy dagger on his wrist. He was a zealot in more ways then one.

If you didn't get the starcraft reference then you're a noob. Also in multiplayer when an elite does an assassination he uses a energy weapon on his wrist. This weapon would be the turning point in a CQC fight with a brute. A quick stab to the throat and brute is done.
