Halo 4 - No Brutes confirmed.

There really wasn't much to suggest they would be in Halo 4, so I don't think this will surprise anyone.

From HBO and NeoGAF.

they are not - but there's some story stuff I can't get into

They weren't bad enemies, but I won't miss them. Fortunately the gravity hammer will return.

Meh, as long as Grunts explode into confetti with a headshot I don't care.

I'll miss sniping them in the head, causing them to flip.  Other than that, I miss the brute shot.  frown

One of the Halo 4 achievements is:

 

Chief, Smash!

 

In Mission 8, kill 3 Crawlers in one hit with the Gravity Hammer.

20 points

 

So, we know there is a Gravity Hammer in mission 8 of the Halo 4 campaign. I thought this meant that Brutes would be back for sure, but maybe not. Who else would be wielding a Grav Hammer?  That is traditionally a Brute weapon.

Yes but except for some kind of story element Frank O'Connor says Brutes are not in Halo 4.

Yes to Hammer, no to Brutes.

I was kind of looking forward to the 343i designed Brutes too. Oh well.

I could see Elites with them, they're the only other Covenant race strong enough to wield them. I'm really happy that this means Grifball will be back.

When I saw this Halo 4 Spartan Ops video I had thought that this was clearly a Brute at the beginning of the video, but now I'm not so sure. I'm still not 100% convinced.

I assumed that was an Elite. Too skinny to be a Brute.

I don't know. He looks beefier than the typical Elite. Maybe some Brutes and Elites got together and made a hybrid race. Super-sized Elites that can wield Grav Hammers. They could be called 'Brulites'. Hah, sounds like some European light beer. Though I like that better than 'Elutes'. Also note that mission 8 is the last mission of the Halo 4 campaign. I wonder if that's what Frankie can't talk about.

I never thought the brutes were that great.  The elites were always so much cooler.
