I am talking about at point blank. I can't recall ever killing any brute in 1 hit at any range in H3. And you might kill that Brute Major in 2 hits on Normal, but good luck doing anything to him on Legendary. The difference between Minor and Major brutes is almost negligible anyway.

In Halo 3 they basically are, and either way they're the primary enemies of the game. What does that say about the shotgun if it can't even kill your most basic enemy in 1 hit on NORMAL?
