Spinning a plate on a stick is impressive, but if you try to spin three at once then you'll just end up digging porcelain out of your face.

I'm pretty sure the brutes were given the red plasma rifle as they were rising through the ranks and as soon as they overthrew the elites they were provided their own specialized weapons.
Hey, maybe Bungie was kind enough to put the brute plasma rifle in the ODST specific Halo 3 maps. That would be nice.
The Brute weapon, such as the Mauler, Spiker and Brute Shot, have always been around. They are made from the Brutes native technology. When the Brutes attacked Harvest they had Spikers(its also where the Brute Chopper was invented). I think in Halo 2 the Brutes were just unfinished. The Brute Plasma Rifle was probably created after the Brutes joined the Covenant.
Oh, well, woops. I guess disregard my comment other than the multiplayer aspect. I would love to see the brute plasma rifle as a level-specific weapon for the maps like Longshore and Heretic.
