Halo 3 AI Battle - Flood Tanks vs Brutes

Their use special programing is set to treat it like its a form of grenade. But to be fair with the bubble shield they can fight the tank form without the infectors getting involved.

[@eileen9042]

there called Chieftans

[@HolyknightVader999]

Short version: Low-ranking Brutes are Flood chow. High-ranking Brutes chew through Flood like they're nothing.

[@aztumtheknightofwumbo7060]

HolyknightVader999 I know this be late, but more like, give Brutes their more powerful weapons, and they'll plow through Flood Tanks with ease. Once the Brute Shot was in, the Brutes had the advantage.

[@MyNameIsHalo]

So, to end the flood, we didn't need to activate or blow up a ring, we just need to send a single brute chieftain

[@Leet-iz2fz]

One could wipe out several tank forms, but I think he was healed between rounds. Ten could cleanse the Halos.

[@rhaenatargaryen8061]

One day, Prophet of Regret said "I don't need a sacred ring, i need one good chieftain", apparently this holy sacrilege is what truly led to his falling out with the other Prophets. (If anyone gets this reference here, but i rather doubt it)

[@hiddenecho9056]

You really have to admire the brutes tenacity; they refuse to believe that headbutting the flood is an ineffective tactic, no matter how many of their own die. In all honesty, though, the problem the brutes have here is they don't believe in range; always close in. Which, with marines it works; with flood tanks, no. Limitation of the AI though. At least, right up until the Chieftains. Then, it started getting pretty cool. And oh boy when the hammer chieftain showed up. Solo nine-helps to have an actually overpowered melee weapon, and invulnerability for kicks and giggles.

[@shyland2022BC]

It's always really fascinating to see how the AI react with each other. Yes, while the Brutes may have been mindlessly attempting to rip the tanks with their bare hands, I really feel that in the last few rounds the Brutes kept at a smart distance and actually worked pretty well as a team. That Chieftain at the end really seemed to know what he was doing though. He even turned on overshield in moments the tanks could have actually mauled him. And yes, the Brutes are very tenacious, and this is especially noticeable in ODST.

[@Hacksawgrunts101]

Damn. It was going back and forth constantly throughout the whole thing, but at the end all it took was *one* fucking Chieftain to win it all for the Brutes.

[@travisshaffer6623]

[@poly_g6068]

[@HazeMakerMusic]

That brute fail at 3:39 was perfect

[@davidmilford4485]

(27:13 - 27:23) The moment that hammer was swung, it took four swings in under approximately 8 seconds to destroy those five Flood Tanks and those hordes of Infection Forms. You talk about that Brute Chieftain wielding that hammer like it was a mop and wiping those Flood away like the common stains in a house.

[@Zer0nite]

I love these. Good job. That chieftan at the end is a legend.

[@saltedhorsemeat4843]

It would be hard to have customizable armor though, seeing how we've only seen Minors, Captains, Stalkers and two Chieftain variants in their power armor. I would love to see more of the Brutes so we can fix this and maybe add them into multiplayer. And it'll look great seeing Humans, Elites, and Brutes all on one team if 343 will ever go back to the old Halo formula.

[@saltedhorsemeat4843]

Well I think a 3 way battle would be good enough, I'm thinking UNSC SPARTAN 4's (Thats the current generation, right?), separatist Elites, and regular old Brutes. The Flood is known for being too fragile with the right shot and don't exactly have their own shield system.

Awesome battle!! Hammer Chieftain went in 9 vs 1 lol. Anyways I feel as though the brutes had a bit of a disadvantage with the flood tanks having the infection form as well. In lots of the rounds the brutes killed the tanks but then got killed by the infection form lol. In most of the battles some brutes were distracted by the flood infections and not all fighting the tanks. In the end the brutes still won. Awesome fight. I think your next fight should include marines or ODSTs vs flood or some form of covenant. Keep up the good work

[@spacemanspiff6332]

Would be sweet to see a super melee battle between hammer brutes, sword elites, flood tanks, and hunters.

[@LyricMusicBox]

Great video, have you ever done a video on a three way (no joke intended) battle? Like covenant vs brutes vs flood? Or done like a gladiator arena where you get one of each enemy and throw them in to see who wins?

That would be intersting. Plus if i'm not mistaken. He could be able to spawn in ai on a forge map so he could actually make an arena.

From what I can tell, it's because of the grenade animation that they're losing so often - they start throwing the grenade, in which case the Flood gets to melee range, and then they go into melee themselves - and of course, then lose. Of course, that changes once the Chieftain got stuck into this.

I think including the infection forms gave the tank forms an unfair advantage because the infection forms would draw the brutes attention and create more enemies for remaining brutes to deal with.
