You guys really should have kept some of the animations you cooked up, I especially loved watching E' Tu Brute Vidoc and seeing the dismemberment animations from the Brute ripping the arms off a marine and the Elite with the dual swords lopping off the feet of another Brute. I laughed so hard when I watched that drone animation because it reminded me of something from the Wizard of Oz and I had to agree that scrapping the brute shield was a good idea not just because of their shield system but the way it looked, not very Brute-like. I would have thought up of something more like the shield of an Uruk-Hai from Lord of the Rings. Well that's all I really had to say here people.
