Take on the Covenant with your own replica Brute Spiker
Up for auction on eBay at a starting price of just $275, is a custom made, expertly detailed and almost deadly replica of a Halo 3 Brute Spiker. It's being made available just in case someone has to exterminate Covenant forces on the home turf.The quality of the Spiker looks to be on par with the props WETA creates, seeing that it's cast in urethane plastic, uses real leather, boasts shiny LED lights, features a worn paint job and has shaped aluminum blades that are "pointy but not sharp." Even though we prefer sharp objects and think Halo's "can opener" (aka the Brute Mauler) would be more fun to wield, the Spiker can dish out pain and is almost worth the requested cha-ching.[Via halo.bungie.org]
Special driftwood looks like Halo 3's Spiker
Not only do we love our driftwood, but we like it all the more when it comes in the shape of items from the Halo universe. If your memory serves you well you'll know that this past January we told you about a piece of driftwood that looked eerily similar to that of a Brute Shot. Today we bring you more driftwood, but in the shape of the new Halo 3 Spiker! We aren't going to speculate on how such a masterpiece was produced by nature, because it just isn't necessary. We all know that the ancient Forerunners buried this masterpiece on Earth so someone would find it just in time for a Halo 3 release this Fall. Though, we're still waiting on the energy sword driftwood to float down the river ... maybe this spring.[Via HBO]
Halo 3's Brute Spiker dissected
As part of Bungie's ongoing profiling of Halo 3 weapons and vehicles, this week Frankie posted an insider's look at the new Brute Spiker. It's officially called the Type-25 Carbine, rocks two tungsten-alloy bayonets, and can quickly rip its target to shreds. According to soldier's remarks we learn that the Spiker is relatively heavy, bulky, and acts similar to the SMG. One good thing this dual-wielding wonder has going for it is that there isn't any recoil, so its automatic shots will a little more accurate. We really hope the Spiker adds more variety to the current weapon set and gels nicely with the others. Nobody would want an overly powerful, spike shooting, death stick of melee horror now would we? Ahem ... now would we?
