Forum:Brute Infection

On the last Master Chief Level on halo 2, i was playing. I went on it as usual. I went onto one of those down things like arcs but upside down. well... I jumped up 2 see what was happening. A combat form (Human) wipped a brute with its tentacle things. The brute fell down next 2 me. I went back up 2 bring some combats down to were i was. After a while, the brute that fell down was standing!Although i did not see it stand up, it was a definitive infection. it was curled into a ball as if it was gonna run after me, but insteads just stayed there. meleed it, but it still stayed.

That is just creepy! Halofan 14:33, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Any evidence. Just a little awile (well not a long time ago) some posted something about a flood jackel, but this makes plasuble sense. The Consumed   ,The Dead   ,and Living  20:43, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe it was a glitch.

I think it may have been a glitch, it must be pretty cool to have seen the Brute standing back up. Freelancer


 * Undoubtably it was nothing more than an error in the game. These things happen on occasion, which is why you've never seen that before and may never see it again. -- ED ( talk )(shockfront) 19:09, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe we could document Game errors?

Hey it also happened to me its mad and brutal. Clavix2 A Brute fan and lover.

Ive seen an Infected Brute as well.-- Running  Riot   Ryan  11:50, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Well it DID seem infected. The books say that thje infection form basicaly 'playes around' withn the body before it mutates! Meybe??? If we get a video, we could document it?

According to the Halo books, Brutes cannot become infected, as Flood Infection forms somehow "sense" or "taste" whether a victim's DNA can be used for Flood Combat, Brain or Carrier forms. The Flood reject Brutes as possible Flood forms because they do not have the right type of DNA patterns to support Flood forms. Therefore, the "Infected Brutes" must be some kind of glitch.

P.S. This is just an educated guess on my part, using what I know about the Halo Universe. It is entirely possible that I am wrong.

I've seen an infected brute. But it was wearing Honour guard armour. It was stood by a door on the last chief level, but it didn't move. i didn't want to go past it, so i threw a grenade at it, but it didn't die. HaloDude "COMM"

Found it again! Same place as last time. i noticed it still has patches of hair, but when i looked at it's back, it had the drooping elite head that combat forms have. perhaps it's an error where the xbox is confused whether to put a brute or a combat form? i'll see if i can get some screenshots.

Hm. we should include these glitches on this wikia. About the computer (counts xbox) ends up merging the creatures together

Infected Brutes are extremly common, one of the most used flood combat types, why the fuck is everyone making a big deal out of something which anyone with a basic understanding of Halo knows...?

That's scary!! I've seen infections after a flood vs elite war. After an elite died, it got up after a few minutes, being infected!!! The flood is so scary!! You guys shouldn't see human infections. -User: Lisle202
