With the release of Mass Effect 2, I suspect we might see more of that franchise appearing on FactPile. For this match, just try to stick to the average Krogan or Brute in determining who would win the match.
Which one would win?

A Brute is stronger than Master Chief, who is capable of manuvering a few tons.

Yeah…you know what, it’s futile, that was all the info I needed.
So, brutes are stronger. O.o

But what I really want to know is, how would a brute fare in a hand to hand combat with a wookie ?
Wookie’s can rip off a human’s arms.

And a brute can’t?

I think it’s kind of annoying when people say mass effect small arms are superior to halos. Yes they’re more advanced than the unsc’s, but not to the covenants. They have developed energy weapons which I have only seen energy weapons that are developed by the collectors.

Also soldiers from mass effect are nothing like spartans. They’re not super soldiers and not as powerful as them.

Given a Krogan’s inability to feel pain, or become incapacitated… its a close fight. Krogan’s have mulitple redundant organs, nervous systems and so forth, and can maneuver as much weight as Chief can. In Mass Effect 2, a Krogan is seen picking up an armoured bulkhead which I would estimate to weigh several tonnes, and throwing it aside. Impressive, but is that the same level of strength a Brute possesses? Its a very very close fight, but personally, I reckon the Krogan would win, they did smash aside the Rachni after all, and the Brutes had trouble killing humans

After the Rachni Wars, when the krogan were hailed as saviours of the galaxy, they were given the conquered rachni planets along with other colonies in gratitude for their help. However, due to the harsh conditions of their homeworld Tuchanka, krogan birth rates were quite high in order to sustain their numbers. When they spread onto other planets, their naturally swift breeding cycle and lack of sufficient predators resulted in krogan spreading throughout the galaxy like a plague.
The Council became concerned in around 700 CE, when the krogan began to annex territory from other Citadel races. The krogan became more aggressive as other species tried to protect their worlds, until the krogan began to settle the asari colony of Lusia. When told to leave, the krogan refused. Their ambassador, Overlord Kredak, stormed out of the audience with the Council, daring them to take their worlds back. War broke out soon afterwards.
The genophage was a biological weapon deployed against the krogan by the turians during the Krogan Rebellions. It was designed to severely reduce krogan numbers by “infecting” the species with a genetic mutation. The genophage’s modus operandi is not to reduce the fertility of krogan females, but rather the probability of viable pregnancies: many krogan die in stillbirth, with most foetuses never even reaching this stage of development. Moreover, every cell in each krogan is infected, to prevent the use of gene therapy to counteract it. Though the genophage was not designed as a “sterility plague”, the combination of a low frequency of viable pregnancies with the krogan proclivity to violence and indifference about focused breeding leaves the krogan a dying race, and soon to be extinct.
Krogan typically stand over 7 feet and weigh roughly a ton in armor.

What I mean is the krogans are one of the most powerful forces in the galaxy.
In Halo, Brutes find it hard to kill humans.
Krogans ftw!

Dropping your weapon in a fight is pretty dumb.

So…that makes it hard for brutes to kill humans ?
When it clearly shows them slaughtering them when either the arbiter or the thousand pound super soldier isn’t there to save their asses ?
“Dropping your weapon in a fight is pretty dumb.”
Hmmm when you’re 1,500 pounds, stand 9 feet tall, capable of easily lifting 2 tons, and wading through salvos of bullets when most of you comrades is dead, might not seem too bad for them.
Considering their savage nature.

there is insufficient data to confirm a definit strength advantage either way. However, the lack of evidence is pretty much entirely on the krogan side, so i’d say that until canon sources give data to the contrary the brutes have a slight strength advantage (krogans are known to be physically powerfull, but the upper limit of their strength is as of yet undefined).
However, this strength advantage does not seem significant enough to overcome the krogan’s true physical advantage- their resilience.
Even if brutes are stronger i just don’t see one managing to beat a krogan in melee simply because the krogan could take the punishment far better then the brute can.
As for ME energy weapons, read the codex. ME factions can create energy weapons, but pretty much abandoned their use due to their comperatively low energy efficiency.
However you look at it ME small arms are vastly superiour to their halo equivalents.

‘According to Zaeed Massani, if one lodges a knife at a certain spot on their crest, it can be ripped off. It is apparently the one thing they do fear.’

“why do they lose in the end then?”
Well….”Though the Prophet of Truth was killed, and most of the Loyalist’s known fleet was destroyed by the Sangheili fleet above the Ark, the Covenant Loyalists still exist in some force, though likely in a weakened state, forced to rebuild after the war.[4] Rtas ‘Vadum expressed concern that the Sangheili homeworld, Sanghelios, may have still been endangered by the Covenant, and considering the sheer size of the former Covenant it is unlikely that the entirety of the Loyalists were present at Earth. Exactly who or what remains in charge of their political and military leadership is also unknown – the Prophets have been reduced to near extinction, and all of the Hierarchs were killed by the UNSC or Separatists, while the Jiralhanae also suffered the loss of most of their leadership with the deaths of Tartarus on Delta Halo and other high-ranked Chieftains at Earth and the Ark. ”
“During the Covenant Civil War, or “Great Schism,” the Covenant military was violently divided between the Covenant Loyalists, who continued to believe in the Prophets, and the Covenant Separatists, who followed the Arbiter against them. The Covenant Separatists crushed the Covenant Loyalists at the Battle of Installation 00 with their human allies. “

I didn’t really understand that. Could you put it into you own words and make it clearer instead of copying and pasting then not even putting the link
June 28, 2010
#22
You couldn’t understand that.
Really…wow
Well the brutes lost due to the intervention of the elites, you know those 300 pounds aliens that are capable of lifting 2 tons and being equal to spartans and all that jazz, well they teamed up with the humans and helped them destroy the fleet that was composed of brutes.
Then masterchief, the 7 foot tall, 1000 pound super soldier and the Arbiter and his elites killed off a lot of the brutes at earth.
When Truth’s fleet went through the portal, all the remaining out-numbered covies were killed off by the remaining Marines and the flood that crash landed in Africa.
On the Ark, the Elite shipmaster wiped out Truth’s fleet and all remaining covenant ships, and then helped the masterchief and arbiter breach the Citadel where Truth was planning to activate ALL the halos, but the flood controlled High Charity crash landed on the Ark and went into the Citadel and helped the Masterchief and Arbiter assisinate Truth, thus ending the Covenant.
Look at all the damn hard work you made me do !
I want a fucking COOKIE NAO !
The brutes are still alive, they’re just on their homeworld.

so, the chief and arny wiped out a load of them single handedly. Wow! I definatley give the krogans the win.
‘Look at all the damn hard work you made me do !’
if your a true fan, it shouldn’t have been that hard or are you just a tipical fanboy?

“if your a true fan, it shouldn’t have been that hard or are you just a tipical fanboy?”
Shut the hell up, all you had to do was simply open up tab, go on google, or what ever search engine, and type in halopedia and search for the covenant.
Seeing as your not only dumb enough not to even know how to spell typical right, and can’t even decipher information right, I might as well state that your mental capabilities are that of a child.
“so, the chief and arny wiped out a load of them single handedly. Wow! I definatley give the krogans the win.”
No you fucking idiot, I put the information out for you, but you still are hard headed.
They had help form a sangheli fleet, the UNSC and the flood.
They ended the war by killing the Prophet of truth.
The UNSC and Elites killed off the rest.

on legendary, a brutes dies in about 6-8 shots from a shotgun. On insanity, it takes about 15 shots to kill a krogan and thats not including that they can recharge their health and meele you to death in a matter of seconds.

Krogans have multipe intances of organs and the kb is effective against the brute’s tendancy tworards projectile weapons. Also, if this is krogans in general and before the genophage, the krogans could overwhelm the brutes.

6-8 shots ha more like boom, melee, dead. The krogans have superior weaponry, regeneration, and are around the same on strength.

Well if Brutes get pwned by sub-standard weaponry from halo the superpowered weaponry from ME would decimate them so i think the Krogans would Pwn.
