Without me, it's just "Aweso".

Lets just discuss the Halo canon for a moment. Brutes were introduced to us in Halo 2. However, in the books, they were described as being integral to the fight on Harvest. Therefore, Brutes and Drones, despite having appeared in the games at a later date, were still a part of the story.
I don't believe that it was ever said that the fleets assaulting Reach were strictly comprised of Elites, Grunts, Hunters, and Jackals...
Although, it is true that the Arbiter's fleet that followed the Pillar of Autumn to Halo was comprised of only those aforementioned, it doesn't mean every single ship present of the 300 ships invading Reach was only inhabited by those above.
Therefore, I think it is safe to say that we will probably be fighting every enemy the Covenant has to offer. Hopefully it will also open up room for Bungie to allow us to fight something like the Drinol or have an appearance of the Engineer.
With that in mind, its important to note that this obviously is before the changing of the guard. Therefore we probably will fight a ton of elites and perhaps only a few brutes. I still expect us to see every enemy however.
In order to add more variety, due to the absence of the Flood and Sentinels, perhaps there will be sections involving Insurrectionist Human Forces or perhaps some other Forerunner technology guarding the location under ONI's CASTLE Base. Perhaps for gameplay Sentinels will appear there. We have no idea at this point.
It would make sense to see Brutes comprise a small component of the Covenant forces, although they'd probably be in a more specialized role, considering they have yet to usurp the Elites in any roll.
Also, what's up with this "Drinol"? It was removed from the game, and hasn't appeared in any of the books. There are quite a few species never featured, and I doubt we'll be seeing them.
