Brutes are fun enemies to fight in my opinion, but Reach brutes lack the classic Berserking that we've seen in Halo 2 and Halo 3, plus they look kinda weird in Reach so who'd want to introduce someone to those Jiralhanae first?
Edit: I was woken up from the end of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles dream to Lemon pound cake and a gift, that was a lovely way to start the day.
