Let's talk the Brute designs in Halo Infinite

First day on era? There isn't actually any gaming discussion here that often, just endless trolls, fan boys, reply notification bell fishing and once a thread gets to a hundred pages or so, maybe some actual discussion starts.
Ayyyy Demon I remember you from the old HaloGAF days
I definitely think they need some more fur. I know not all the games depicted them that way, though that's how I'll always see them. I'd also like em a bit bigger and truly imposing, but if they're going to be a common enemy then I guess I understand.

User Banned (1 day): spamming low effort, driveby meme with purpose to derail and interrupt discussion.
Tbf discussions about Halo Infinite are not going to be good almost anywhere lol.
But people could stop with the memes at least when the OP gives good points and criticism, wich is the case here.

All I could think watching that brute monologue was "they really liked thanos I guess"
I mean, honestly I've never liked Brutes in the halo franchise. To go from the covenant to a bunch of gorillas in armour just never seemed particularly interesting to me. But these new ones just look awful.

You're not wrong. I was just hoping for some solid gameplay/story discussion as it looks like 343 has really improved both aspects coming off of H5.
Anyways, on-topic I think my favorite design of the Brutes is the OG Halo 2 concept art. It's a shame we never got anything that quite matched up. They did try to achieve this design in H2, but it really did not look anywhere near as good in-game.
In a way, I think they're facing a similar issue in Infinite. Escharum looks bad-ass in the concept art, but it did not translate all that well in-game.
Why did you edit your post to add my quote?
Shitposting the thread was not enough? Did you feel you needed to adress me specifically?

Holy shit, those are both wicked....
His name is fucking Escharum ??????????????????????????????????????????
I hope he is killed in the first hour if this is his name.
I would explain to you that it was all done in good fun but I get the sense that you are not receptible to that answer since you seem to take this thread very seriously.
Edit: I have removed your quote since you seem upset.

The size of that gaping maw in the first image would run chill down my spine if I saw that in-game.
With regards 2nd image of Escharum, I cannot get over the impracticability of those two metallic projections from his breastplate. Unless it is purely ceremonial, it looks like one of those "cool for the sake being cool" design faux pas.

wait, this is the dude from the trailer? if so:
i dare this thread to make a brute gorilla edit of that gif
Right, that looks pretty cool... Unlike the horrible shit we saw yesterdaywait, this is the dude from the trailer? if so:

I don't really have an issue with the armor personally, but my comparison was more for the 'species' design.
It was indeed. He's looking quite a bit more plain than what they went for in the art. Hopefully something like a model touch up isn't too far out of the realm of possibility when there is still ~4 months till launch!wait, this is the dude from the trailer? if so:

Yep that Halo 2 art is *chef's kiss.You're not wrong. I was just hoping for some solid gameplay/story discussion as it looks like 343 has really improved both aspects coming off of H5.

I also really like how the brute is depicted in the Live action ODST trailer.
One thing we don't get with playing as the Chief is just how fucking big the enemies are. Even those scrawny ass bird boys (Jackals) are taller than most people at 6'2 - 6'8.
I'm absolutely loving all the hilarious posts of that gif. I slowly scrolled the first page and cracked up completely each time. I was laughing again and again for almost 30 minutes. Absolutely comedy gold. Brilliant stuff guys
Damn wtf. Fix his face 343You're not wrong. I was just hoping for some solid gameplay/story discussion as it looks like 343 has really improved both aspects coming off of H5.

To be honest I find Halo aliens pretty boring... The small guys that run away and the brutes/chewbaccas are the worst offenders. The Flood is cool tho!
The guy in the trailer looked fucking terrible, both in terms of design and graphics. Shit looked last-gen lol.
Honestly, if it was one or two things that need touching up I'd be optimistic, but almost every single thing we've seen in the trailer needs significant improvements, so I'm not very optimistic.
tbf, brutes are generally a kind of awful design and they never looked as cool as the covenant
