No this fancy armor OR a gravity hammer (besides taturas) I don't know how to spell his name.

The brutes always had that.
The original Xbox couldn't process it. So they had to dumb it down a little to suffice.

I wish I was still legendary.

Retroactive Canon, or perhaps the Brutes posted on High Charity didn't wear armour as they weren't expected to see combat.

Intolerance is the highest level of stupidity and inbred thinking.

possibly, I think it may just be that the XBox couldn't process all that.

That too, but the brute concept art from that time doesn't show any brutes wearing more armour then a shoulderpad and ammo belts.

Two movies you should watch: Fight Club and Pineapple Express

"Wait. What do you mean, it's dead?"
"If marijuana is not legal within the next five years I have no faith left in humanity, period. Everyone likes smoking weed. They have for thousands of years. They're not going to stop anytime soon. You know? It makes everything better. Makes food taste better, makes music better. It makes sex feel better for God's sake. It makes -blam!- movies better you know?"

Bungie already stated that after the slipspace rupture from the capital ship, Truth had already put his plan to take control of Earth in motion. That's why the brutes in New Mombasa have the armor and the others don't.

This kinda fixes the story line and I don't think that they had a design for that armor for H2.

The Brutes have always had armor, but they adapted the Covenant armor when they replaced the Elites as the Covenant's primary fighting force in 2552 (which is the year Halo 3: ODST is set). As far as the hammers go, just because one Brute character in Halo 2 had a gravity hammer doesn't necessarily exclude other Brutes from having Gravity Hammers available.

Awhile ago, Bungie released a Halo Universe timeline that explained all of this but i can't find it!

when does odst come out and how much will it be??

  • 06.04.2009 1:39 AM PDT

In the book HALO: Contact Harvest, some of the early engagements between the USNC and Covenant featured Brutes in armour. In HALO 2 the Brutes obviously felt like not wearing their armour, or maybe getting into fights wasn't actually part of the plan, so they didn't bring their armour.

NO GROUP INVITES!!!

It's possible that some Brutes like Tartarus simple prefer not to use power armor.
Or maybe Elites didn't allow Brutes to wear Power Armor in High Charity, as they'd be a potention security risk. But when the Covenant split, the Brutes in High Charity didn't have time to don their armor. On the other hand, those Brutes who were on the front lines, naturally gear up. Like those on Earth.

Oh and how come there are Brutes but no Elites on Earth during ODST?
Let's think Regret's Fleet. 2 Assault Carriers and 15 CCS-Battlecruisers.
One Assault Carrier was destroyed, and one jumped away, with most, if not all Elite(Sangheili) forces. The rest of the Elites still on ground are killed by humans, who had considerable numbers compared to the Covenant forces.
Truth hears that Regret fled so he orders the rest of CCS cruisers attack. Or those which are still left and have BRUTE CREWS. That Regret's Fleet contains Brutes too is only explanation how Brutes are attacking Earth, Mombasa only two hours after Regret left. The Covenant has fast slipspace drives but even they cannot send massive attack force that quick probably, unless Truth had other ships on route while Regret was attacking Earth.
So anyways, Truth's Brutes land on Earth within 2 hours from initial Covenant attack. And they continue gaining reinforcements.... and the fighting on Earth lasts for weeks... until the Ark Portal is uncovered and the Covenant retreats.

Do NOT send me Recruitment Letters, doing so will get you blocked faster than you can say "Huh?"

They didn't magically get armour in halo 3. Its easily believable that they have armour then. In fact, if they didn't have it it would be weird.

The Nude Brutes were only on earth before the 2nd occupation of earth they were kinda specialist brutes.
The armoured ones are like infantary.

So what your debating is because of the timeline, you would rather have the -blam!- brutes from halo 2 who attacked you in the same way all the time

Instead of the awesome new brutes designed for halo 3 which are actually a challenge to kill sometimes?

Hmmmmm

They have armor in Halo 3, that was before ODST (not game timeline) so they put it in.

if you read one of the books{cant remember the name} it says that the pack tartarus comes from didnt get any armour or special weapons the even didnt really have a propper ship its beacause the elites hated his uncle {cant remember his name think it was macaebeaus or something like that} and when tartarus killed his uncle he became pack leader so the brutes in halo 2 are under his comand and didnt really get much
