I read in a post earlier that brutes are like flood, they kill both covenant and humans. So is this true or are they loyal covenant members? If you dont like this post LEAVE, dont flame me

They are part of the covenant armada since they protect the prophets.

Actually, the Elites are military commanders and the protectors of the Prophets... as seen in the Epilogue of First Strike... The Brutes are the temple guardians and base berserkers for the Covenant.

i read in another post that protecting prophets is the Imperial Guard's job. And they're all elites, and that brutes are threatening to take over that responsibility.

Well they are Covenant since they protect the Prophets and fight on Earth (As seen at the E3 Demo). But they probably hate everyone except the prophets and it is ditto back at them. I suppose the only reason they fight for the Covies is because they want to kill humans. Not to destroy the earth like the other Covenant are in to. Don't know really just a guess on that last part.

I think of brutes more as the covenant "War Beasts" the covenant have them and unlesh them on humans but they themselves are afraid of them and simply unleash them on their enemies. they would just as willingly attack a covenant or a human. In the e3 2003 you notice how they dropped brutes out of the phantom? its was because they didnt want the brutes tangling with their normal forces. There is olny a few brutes that are more intelligent and loyal to the covenant, like the one at the end of first strike. the brutes that arevererans and have become smart and loyal are used as religious guards.

so basically the brutes are covenant but are not really smart enough to tell freind from foe and attack everything.

Yea, remember at the end of the E3 demo, The Brute could of simply slowed down, he had plenty of time and he was in a ghost, but just kept going and exploded on the wall.

The way I see it is that the covenant is a weak alliance held together by fear and Basically religous figures like prophets. I think the brutes nature has been used to take advantage of their race. Making a warrior that makes hunters cower in fear.
Plus in First Strike did you see how they love to kill. I agree they don't care who or what just as long as it bleeds.
