[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] hylander So quite a few people seem to think that the blue Spartan in the picture is a brute, well it’s not ,it's a blue Spartan,lol although I can see why some may think that as the helmet from a distance resembles the blue armoured normal foot soldier class brute seen in the campaign screen shots. But here’s the thing I’ve just got a feeling that we are going to get a nice surprise when we get our hands on the game, I’ve just got this feeling that Bungie have brute models as playable characters in multiplayer and you can customise there armour permutations to, Think about it, I mean there the same relative size to a Spartan and elite model, they will be identical in terms of being able to jump the same distance and running speed, they have shields like the Spartan and elite models. It also makes a heap of potential for Machinima videos with three different character models in multiplayer and also adding more variety visually to battles, I just can’t see the brute model being over balanced in multiplayer and I think it would work. Of course I could be completely wrong, and hec ! I probably am and to be honest I’m not even that fused if they turn out not to be in multiplayer. Just a thought though.[/quote] I don't think the Spartans are the same size as the brutes. They might pull off the same thing Epic did with General RAAM, and make the Brutes smaller with regards to the other characters... but I just don't see it happening. It's much more believeable to fight an Elite(in Multiplayer) than to be going up against a brute the same size as Master Chief.
