Considering how stupidly low the budget was to finance this short, I think they did excellent. Yes, the CGI isn't the best and neither is the camera work. But it does beat the crap out of a lot of other poor sci-fi works. Even so, its awesome to see the Halo universe expanding like this. I loved this short.
It goes to show that if Peter Jackson/WETA is given a hollywood sized budget to work with, it would make for a great movie.
Oh...and Brutes don't have energy shields. They have powered armor that isn't shielded. Using a power drainer destroys their armor, making it useless, but even a few well placed shots can drop an average Brute as easily as anything else. I think only chieftains have shields, but I've played the game and know that one thing for sure.
