oh yeah i forgot about the dual needlers. those were ridiculous. but still, thats just halo 2, and even then, whatever headshot weapon you were using is still just as effective on brutes. move into halo 3, where they reworked brutes to have shields, and a plasma pistol will serve you through the whole game except the flood parts.
