The Type-25 Rapid Assault Vehicle "Brute Chopper"[1][2] is one of the new vehicles for Halo 3. At first misnamed the Brute Ghost, it was mentioned in the December 2006 issue of Electronic Gaming Magazine.[3] The Brute Chopper is a single-wheeled, motorbike kept afloat via ion thrusters, hence the thrust having a blue glow. It may look like the Brutes answer for the Ghost, but it is more stable, and it does more damage when ramming.
1up Preview
- "...The familiar whine of a Covenant Ghost howls and Master Chief lowers the Gauss cannon. But this Ghost is unlike any Ghost we've seen before. Instead of the two small wings that normally frame a Ghost, this model is more tube-like in design. The sound is unmistakable, just like its bumpy hover. There's a much larger driver at the back of this new Ghost-type vehicle -- a Brute. This is the first vehicle we've seen from what Griesemer describes as the Brute Sandbox.
The vehicle appears similar in color to the Covenant Ghost. It sounds the same as well (but this is pre-Alpha code, so it could be placeholder sound), but the wings have been folded up and the result is a much thicker, tube-ish vehicle. As Master Chief lowers the Gauss cannon on the Ghost, the demo ends."
- — Luke Smith while discussing Halo 3's single-player[4]
Characteristics
Although it was at one point theorized that the so-called Brute Ghost was in fact the "Mauler" mentioned in Bungie Weekly Updates, this was proven wrong by the July 2007 issue of Gamerpro, which entitled the vehicle the "Chopper" and gave a small amount of information about it. It has two anti-personnel cannons on it which appear to be a higher-power type of Brute Shot, and also has a jagged circular blade on the front. It is apparently a formidable force, considering it is larger than a Warthog, but it did not appear in the Halo 3 Beta, and so very little is yet known about it. It appears to be motorbike like - with its weight supported via ion thrusters, hence the blue ion trail at its rear and two smaller ones near the front 'wheel'.
Strangely, though, many of the features that 1up had described have been changed. For example, the color of the chopper is different from the ghost; it also seems (because of weight, propulsion) that it would also sound very different.
