It's kind of like saying Pizzas are a vegetable...Oh...shit.


the idea is that brutes replaced elites. while they are different in terms of shields and physical strength, the game is still following the pattern of having grunts, jackals, some shielded commanding unit, and hunters. in this case, its a brute instead of an elite. so yeah theres a difference no doubt, but the point remains entirely valid that the shotgun isnt as useful.

we're not talking about the difference between brutes and elites. we're talking about the difference between halo 1 and halo 3's shotgun mechanics. compare the damage range and falloff with grunts if that makes you feel better.
