Why is this Brute so damn big?
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWUUdi6a3fE]Halo 4 Prologue[/url]
2:22 shows chief manhandling a giant Brute.... Obviously in game they weren't that big, but did 343i take the size of that brute from canon/legends? I remember reading somewhere that the average Brute size was 14 feet tall... Seems about right in that video, though I find it hard to believe that humanity fought apes that big.
I don't remember which book, but there was a part where John took on a Brute his size and barely won, perhaps chieftains are just abnormally huge?

Yeah I'm happy they're on the right path to getting the Elites to look beast again.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] grey101 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] PISTOLSQUIRREL Makes me happy they made the Brute as it should be. I wish Didact was portrayed as tall as he is in canon, though.[/quote] I haven't seen anybody here work out how tall he is in the game his height should be around feet. If it's even close to that i will be happy, but it is his cutscene height that is canon in which he looks just about that size.[/quote] The thing that kind of bothers me is the fact that in the cutscene in Forerunner, Chief is maybe half or a little over half Didact's size. If Didact is around 15/16 feet in size, Chief shouldn't be that tall compared to him. I'm not entirely sure.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CoolCJ24 I was happy they made the Brute the right size in the prologue; at a rough comparison the Brute looks about 12 feet, practically Hunter size. Of course, it is a Chieftain so it's more plausible but still pretty huge for a Brute. Then again there was that elite called Xytan in GoO who was like 10 feet or something.[/quote] 11. The tallest elite ever.

They are normally really tall. Chief is like 7 ft and that guy is about 4 above him, so 11 makes sense. The average for Brutes is 9', but you must consider that the "average" for people is like 5'7". It takes in all the ranges.
-
Brutes are generally 9 feet tall but chieftains are taller due to hormonal changes with being the top dog. So it is only 10 feet if 11 which isn't out of the normal.

That thing is like 14 feet tall . . . Well, they changed everything, so yeah.

Roids. Don't do drugs kids, you'll get kicked in the face by a Spartan.

I love the Halo 4 Cutscenes. In my opinion: best of any game.

The Average size of a brute is 9 feet seeing as that is a chieftain he might be around 11 or so, which is within range. I am glad 343I finally did the sizes correctly so people understand how massive these aliens are to us. Next time you go to a department store (home depot) look for that giant measuring stick they normally have near the entrance and look up at 16 feet. that is about how tall the Didact is.
