Yeah I was playing Halo Wars and I saw all these cool units like the Grizzly, Hawk, Rhino (The Pillar of Autumn had those Long range sniper-tanks on board), and of course the VULTURE. I mean like really, If those units had been made, well I could beat the level AOTCR crazy fast on legendary (Grizzly instead of scorpion)

Covenant glassed a bunch of planets, annihilated REACH, etc. etc.

Sometimes when I look at the moon at night, my mind embraces the thought of a love so vivid and true that I almost believe it is real. Then, due to my delusions, I am forced back into reality and begin to indulge myself in real life vices such as chocolates and German board games to get that once natural high.

Also, when you are playing Halo 1, keep in mind that for some odd reason the Pillar of Autumn wasn't up to date with these supposed Hawks, Vultures, Grizzlies, etc because they were too hardcore.

Why were the Brutes even in Halo Wars? Didnt they have just worker role on the Covenant until Halo 2, when they started fighting in combat?

Its like the those Elite Rangers in Halo 2, (the elites in full body armor, equipped with jetpacks) while these elite rangers first appeared in Halo 2, one of the books claim they were around when the covenant attacked Reach.

The group that the Pillar of Autumn ran into were investigating the ring, no ? They were probably similar to spec ops - specialized, tight knit units. Notice how Jackals aren't used for boarding in H-1. (Or 2) H-1 was just a glimpse.

Jackals aren't Assault troops. Primarily Grunts and Elites did that. Jackals are more defencive and occupation forces.

The inclusion of Brutes in Wars wasn't all too surprising considering the large role they were given in Contact Harvest. The book did a really good job in explaining their place in the Covenant, but there sudden introduction into Halo2 was poorly handled (along with much of that games story).
