Just wait until the 20th of December
I know that many of you were probably annoyed by the Halo 3 brutes, mainly because they got in the way of your main objective. From the looks of it, Master Chief will not be the only playable character in the upcoming Halo game.
This is only a rumor as xbox360fanboy.com admits, but apparently, brutes will be playable in Halo 3. They got this tip from YLA G-the creator of GooMGC, some sort of a Google application for the Xbox 360.
