The Most Badass Brutes Scenes & Moments - Halo Saga 

Yep. Him and Chief are the most "Do it don't say it" kind of guys that I know of in Halo besides say Noble 6.

Every on the scenes, he kills it.

Atriox is a nobody. He should not be this strong. Halo infinite is non canon.

@@Gnarkson Atriox is that strong. Exoect that strong isn't really strong at all. All he does is camp and waits untill the spartans are vulnerable. Spartan two on a fair equal fight>>>>>>Atriox

This is precisely what makes him strong. He is patient, wise, knows when to lie low, and when there is a chance to defeat the enemy, bringing down all his bestial rage of the Jiralhanae on him.​@@teleptic6430

youre forgetting some major differences between those situations, factions ,numbers and diffferent type of ships and i may miss a number of other details such as the Elite having superior experience with the covenant ships compared to brutes

@@willffre yeah.....but it was also a situation of the Infinity having the most advanced armor of all ship, remember how it was shown coming out of slipspace being able to ram through a covenant ship like it was nothing? And how it was able to shoot a hole into the Didact's ship when we know that Forerunner metals are nearly indestructible? Just saying, having things happen for plots sake is terrible.

@@Chiwalker i could argue that brute ships also have ramming specialties as shown in the trailer and as a brute faction their boarding parties are way more effective and brutal wich makes infinitys armor useless it is different from covenant tactics, and what infinity has gone through im pretty sure they were close to being a skeleton crew carrying humanity on their back for so long to speak and abandoned ship when they got attacked while the banished are on their peak focusing on Zeta Halo. hell i think writers left some grey area around the AI war on purpose to have no clear point how it affected the UNSC and humanity as a whole but shitstorm after shitstorm the infinity still may be out there But i agree they could have give more space or clear view on why the infinity just "lost"

Seeing atriox is badass

I still get goosebumps hearing his speech and roar

He deserves more screen time

one of the best? he's okay but not that good

Honestly I liked him he was good

Atriox is the chaddest of his kind. He can't help it.

Atriox is like the Master Chief among Brutes

Tartarus>

Halo Wars 2 wasnt even his full force. It was meant to fight against local Ark forces.

I think he would probably return in the halo infinite sequel, not dlc.

Who knows but the way it was in probably the endless whatever this new enemy is if it’s aligned with the banished then it will be one of the greatest challenges the next game could either be first person or a halo wars three if it’s halo wars three then we’re back at the ark. But if it’s another first person shooter with the chief then hopefully it’ll be the end of atriox and saving humanity

How cool would it be, if we got to play AS Atriox at some point in the future? It's about time we get something like the Arbitor again

@@conker466 there won’t be a sequel. Infinite is the game for the next 10 years and there is already confirmation that it’s getting expansions.

Thank god that cheif had better armor

@@spartanjeffrey9993true because Chief took a hit from that hammer

You correctly noticed the sid of Tartarus, not every brute can swing a 100-kilogram sledgehammer so vigorously.

Maybe just timing. I do hope he returns to voice him but I think because of time they had Lockes actor voice him for the little bit of dialogue he had

He doesn’t sound that bad in infinite. But I knew his voice was different

John DiMaggio voices him in HW2, I hope they bring him back

Although I don't dislike his voice in infinite i definitely agree, I'm Italian so i played the game in italian then i was curious to hear it in English just because atriox speaking gives me eargasm everytime and i was a bit disappointed when I wasn't hearing that strong, deep menacing voice he had in hw2

@@Iron1176 Only a year has passed between the events of Halo Wars 2 and Halo Infinite. Highly doubt that age has something to do with it lmao

Unless you’re covenant. Or banished. Or Forerunner. Or Endless…. Wow, there isn’t a species in the galaxy that hasn’t hated us at least once in history huh?

Personally I think Brites are in general superior to elites (controversial but not backed up by noting). Brutes on 3 occasions in lore show they can smell/pin point you which is huge. Atriox detected invisible elites with his smell in a comic, Decimus caught a grunt trying to sneak way in a log in halo wars 2, and in a book they have a tradition of releasing their human prisoners, give them a head start, and hunt them down for sport. Keep this in mind Elites smell like leather even to humans. Their blood smells like tar even to humans, to a brute active camo has its own sent. So good luck sneaking past a brute without plot armor. As shown in many sources they are many many times stronger. Enraged Abel to smash hunters. Able to snap elite bones easily with a grip. Also factor in Brutes having longer arm reach the a Elite with the crushing grip. Brute stalkers are able to use active camo too so It would not surprise me with their smell, range weapon preference (stalkers don’t try melee swords), and fire grenades, they can probably stealth better then elites. Durability wise, the vast majority of elites longevity come from their combat energy shields witch most brutes don’t have. In lore besides elites having a second heart (which would just cause them to bleed out if one was ever punctured so likely will not help durability) elites have no enter any biological durability Over a brute. Brutes have been shown to tank multiple clips form a assault rifle to those guts and face and not going down without any energy shields. Give a brute just as strong of an energy shield as an elite and it will be no comparison which one can tank more. Also note Elites don’t like doctors and will likely ritually kill themselves if captured or injured to avoid medical treatment which drastically impacts their durability even further. Brutes are also quite fast as their strides/gates are huge even for elites. They can climbs and leap superbly wile elites canonically struggle with ladders due to their legs. Heck their hands are inferior to brutes as lore states brutes can use both human and cov weapons more comfortably which makes sense as one is a ape like decedent wile the other is a lizard. Do don’t discount brute agility even if the games don’t show it. Im not to convinced the gap in agility is as big as many think. But admittedly elites have this one factor going for them over brutes. Intelligence I will say is the same as the banish and their technological innovations and tactical feats demonstrate mostly culture is holding them back like elites However unlike elites they have no qualms with medicine, don’t ritual suicide when injured, Elites have been shown to recklessly bored for clout instead of using their space ships better range to attack, and can use dishonorable tactics/gorilla warfare more consistently then elites which in my mind, give brutes tactical advantages given elite and brute current cultures. So let’s conclude with agility. Brutes have gravity hammers that can rag doll and telekinetically draw or throw around opponents (halo wars 2 warlords and Atriox used it on a Spartan in his fight cut scene, and Tarterous in halo 2). I know a lot people think the sword is better but rarely factor the hammers lore shock wave and telekinesis. Other counters to agility: the pulse carbine, hydra, lock on rockets, and plasma pistol shots track targets. Heck brute shock rifle and skewer can snipe at ranges too sneaky to anticipate a dodge anyway that and all the other long range super sonic sniping carbines. And with all the explosive ammunition like if the scrap cannon, and grenades, the splash damage practically cancels out dodging too. If a 6 ft tall human gymnast dodging gun fire in a realistic war scenario is ridiculous making a creature 7 ft will only make the prospect more laughable realistically. Then there is also the halo 3 brutes invincibility fields and boss armor being plasma grenade anti stick but I’ll ignore that. Bottom line that kind of agility bonus will be negated my many technologies. But elites do also live longer so maybe if the average elites were older then average brutes and had same training per that would be advantageous for them but will likely not grant them the inherent natural strength, durability, climbing, smell, and better less honorable tactics that a brute will have if they survive war to that age. Assuming they can catch up in wisdom grunts can accrue since they learn faster in lore. In Lore it is a tradition for elders to be “tested” via assassins. So the elites have that and the medicine and honer pride working against the wisdom bonus. And even then if you like elder wisdom that much the San Shyuum can live way longer then elites, have their own equivalent to a Spartan program , and have better technology with no honer weakness. Elites also rage by the way. And that’s every time they get injured past their energy shield which leaves each exposed. Vs brutes who Berserk mostly triggers whenever the rest in the pack are killed which from a numbers advantage makes it less a issue then elites. So not quite as a tactical exploit on brutes as you think cause at least with the brutes they get a adrenaline rush and besides with training and species can temper their Berserk instincts so I don’t count it. And if people still think elites are better cause agile and “skill” ide like to introduce them to the Jackles which do agility and marksmanship better then elites and have been shown to be just as good commanders of space fleets with that skirmisher high value target in infinite .

They actually remind me of Ologs from Shadow of War, with their size, voices, fanaticism, and most definitely their brutal tendencies.

@@gothmogonslaught6851 Escharum was voiced by the same actor who voiced some of the Ologs in Shadow of War

To be fair, the Covenant's leadership only exploited their rage and loyalty only to waste their potential as an intelligent race. Atriox and the Banished changed that.

Yeah, and I get the feeling the prophets deliberately picked the dumber brutes for command roles to better manipulate them. More intelligent brutes like Atriox and Escharum saw through the BS and defected.

@@asaschuemann9545 Kind of like the Krogan from mass effect until they became an independent species from the salarians

Especially when you think about it Brutes have it much harder then Elites do

Halo wars 2 and Infinite

I knew I wasn't the only one who wanted like that! It would be awesome to play as atriox and fight the Covenant and others

Oh oh I hope we get a Arbiter-like playable flash back when Atriox was a Brute Stalker trying to shatter the front lines by infiltration wile his brothers get slaughtered as a distraction. Or him doing assassinations. Playing as a brute stalker/blood Star will be hype.

Tartarus was chosen by his race as chieftain of the brutes for a reason. While the writers may have given Atriox plot armor as far as his tactics go, Tartarus would have beaten him in a one-on-one due to his fighting skill, advanced armor, and roided up gravity hammer.

@@Roshambo920 advanced armor? You mean the one shoulder pauldron he has?

Lmao

The brutes are so badass, the spores die when in contact with them

@AllanCasana that was a infection form I think the dust before pavium takes off his mask are the spores

Halo 2 brutes looked more intimidating to me and when they got angry and went berserk they definitely seemed more like the vicious limb tearing monsters that are in some of the books

Mine too

The scene where they kill the elite squad shows their strength too

@@lukez9721 yep a good reason why brutes is one of the strongest race in halo universe

But that Arbiter often lets his overconfidence get the best of him leading to his downfall

And name him Craig

It would definitely be interesting to see members of the other species that joined the Covenant (like the Kig-Yar, Unggoy, etc.) either as their own faction trying to make a small part of the galaxy their own and divorcing their identity from what the Covenant made them into, or even as potential allies to humanity, who only fought them under the Covenant’s banner of genocide.

Maybe against the flood. That e awesome a temporary truce to fight them

Maybe that will happen in the future. A brute chieftain might become disillusioned with the banished and the endless and end up having to ally with the humans to overthrow the banished with the chief's help.

The closest we have currently is the AI Iratus, but I would love a Brute ally in the flesh.

Well Guns seem to do the trick

Arbiter wouldn't fight chief, they're allies

Oh oh I hope we get a Arbiter-like playable flash back when Atriox was a Brute Stalker trying to shatter the front lines by infiltration wile his brothers get slaughtered as a distraction. Or him doing assassinations. Playing as a brute stalker/blood Star will be hype.

It’s a good idea but I think again where your the covenant trying to best atriox would be better because it emplies the banished wasn’t inferior to the covenant and atriox is the main leader of his faction he wouldn’t be running round solo when he beat the 3 Spartans he had 20 plus brutes in the shadows

Forge is coming soon. The multiplayer isn't all that finished yet

@@jonasan1482 co op is arriving later on as well

The the single player wss alright in terms of game play but it was no where near next gen. Really disappointing and super short game. Graphics where just not great. Story line pretty decent but they abandoned spartan lockes story line. They honestly played it super safe.

@@slurp3194 can’t exactly blame them after Halo 5’s reception. I’ll admit I was a tad disappointed they didn’t try to fix the characters from 5, especially Locke. He had a lot of potential based on the marketing. But honestly it was probably for the best that they remove him from this story. However they did mention him in the game, so maybe he’ll make an appearance? Super doubtful though

@@pewpewplasma3793 a brute spartan killer has his helmet and chest price armor, meaning Locke may be around, just more beaten and loss of his armor. It would also make sense due to the bios on the hvt targets written by an oni agent.

They actually can't get infected because of how they're made up of a hivemind of worms

@@jarrodmyers7747 i figured that but when i was used to play halo 2 i first saw the flood i was like damm infected hunters would DESTROY

@@jarrodmyers7747 Individual worms can be infested, though...

Pretty sure they are in Halo 3. They squirm around then post up on the wall and shoot you from a distance. Then they transform and turn into something more recognizable.

@@user-iy7jo7bq4f yes but the hunter is more than a single worm and if a worm were to be infected within the Hunter it would just spit it out

They’re ursine mammals. They’re made to look like bears

Ikr Halo 3 brutes have a good design rockin it with the mohawk and goatee

It's because Halo Infinite doesn't have previously rendered cutscenes. It's easy to make gorgeous pre rendered cutscenes, compared to in-game cutscenes

It would be fun playing as brutes and berserking against enemies

Clearly you didnt watch the video

I have watched and read damn near everything halo. Elites are far superior to brutes as the creators of halo intended. What we have for halo now days is just a crumpled up pile of craps compared to the bungie era

I actually like Escharum, Atriox, and most of the Banished characters more than some of the older Covenant characters like Truth, Mercy, Regret and Tartarus. Rtas and Thel will always be faves though.

I actually felt bad for Escharum in halo infinite. He was an old war chieftain who had just lost his home planet and felt that he had no purpose anymore except to die in a honorable duel with the best warrior he could find.

L take

Oh quit nit picking they couldn't get John Dimagio cause he was busy

1. Atriox 2. Escharum 3. Tartarus 4. Voridus and Pavium 5. Decimus But if we include expanded universe ones, then: 1. Atriox 2. Escharum 3. Castor 4. Tartarus 5. Voridus and Pavium 5. Lydus 6. Decimus 7. Jovus

Atriox nearly killed a Spartan with just 1 hand, Tartarus got humiliated by an elite and a marine

@@dubstrap6095 True, but Tartarus was also outnumbered by other Elites like Zealots and Councilours (if we take the gameplay section of the fight as canon). But yeah, Atriox would still be the winner.

@@dubstrap6095 Tartarus killed dozens of Ultra and Zealot Elites, it took dozens of them, the arbiter and Johnson with a sniper to killed him. He didn't got humiliated at all.

At least infinite's weren't like the weak ass halo 3 ones. You could just slap them one time and they would die.

Halo 2 also did the Brute design the best as well. The mohawked apes from subsequent games don't look as cool as compared to the viking-like primates from Halo 2. And they're tough, durable, rampaging monsters.

@@lancecurry7538 I’d argue that Atriox is the best looking brute design. I do like them with more facial hair, makes them look more menacing.

@@asimplepie2279 | Atriox -- and Tartarus, since he had a mohawk himself -- are the exceptions. Adds a layer of uniqueness to them.

Halo wars 2 and infinite's brutes are warriors, Halo 2's are just savages

okay so doomslayer vs chief might be a draw or chief or doomslayer would've been lucky to win. But atriox. Damn he's gonna kick doomslayers butt

Actually in doom lore the doom slayer has the power of a literal god the doom slayer would pick him up and rip him in two.

@@nah3184 people tend to just look at them physically not their backrounds which is why they might think chief and atriox stand a chance against the slayer

@@RiadAnims doomslayer will destroy chief and atriox at the same time. There is no luck needed 😂

@@watwrongwichu2578 yeah that’s true

Pas bapteme moi la religion humaine....ne non.
