SD: Yes, there are new species as well as new variants and combat challenges that are unique to Halo Infinite! One of the new enemies we just revealed in the Campaign Overview is the Skimmer. So, we look at that and say, are there other characters that can fill a similar role, should we add more? These discussions ultimately lead to things like the Brute Berserker, which fills a gameplay need and is a strong fit for the Brutes’ aggressive personality. The Elite Zealot is a good example, but you don’t see them a lot, which is part of their appeal. For example, there aren’t a lot of characters in Halo that put the player back on their heels. We talk about what will make this character unique from other AI combatants and try to develop what we would often refer to as a character’s “special sauce.” If a new character did not have “special sauce” and was just an analog for an existing character in the game, then there isn’t a lot of justification for making that a “new” character. We will look for a role that we are missing or is underrepresented and that we think would be interesting to fight from a player perspective. SD: We try to drive AI combatant / character creation from a gameplay need as much as possible.
😊 The team had an absolute blast working on them.

This is why they flaunt a full body techsuit. Funny enough, early on one of the challenges that we had with this approach was in certain cases, by the time you finished off a Brute he would be pretty much naked and bare. We designed the Brute techsuit with various attachment points so that we could modularize the armor plates so that they could be shot off. Knowing this, we knew we had to design the armors in such a way that facilitated this. As you fight the Brutes you will see all kinds of armor and debris flying off them from shoulder pad to thigh pads to helmets shooting across the map. One of our main focuses, from the player's perspective, was to create a sense of visual damage that set the Brutes apart from the other enemies. There was a ton of legacy here that we wanted to stay true to but also find ways to push the boundaries. BR: Ah yes… The Brutes!! Who doesn’t love them some Banished Brutes! The team rose to the challenge with these bad boys.
