In the second Bungie Video Documentary, a 7-minute one at that and available initially only on Xbox Live Marketplace, you can take a long hard look at the ferocious new antagonist for Master Chief, the Brute. Now that a tentative alliance has formed between Humans and Elites the fighting focus of Halo 3 switches to the monstrous Brutes. These tenacious foes have improved graphically with the advent of the Halo 3 engine and the power of the Xbox 360 but more imporantly, their tactics, weapons, vehicles and AI have all followed suit, making the Brutes the worthiest opponents the Chief has ever faced. See how the designers, artists and pogrammers set about the herculean task of replacing a fan favorite – the mighty Elite – with an unforgettably ferocious adversary.
See how Brutes behave in packs and as individuals with brilliant new animations and AI. Take a first look at the new Brute graphics, weapon and armor designs and finally get the first glimpse at Halo’s legendary Campaign mode.
Bungie points out that there are no finished graphics in the documentary, and everything you see is a work in progress.
