Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

If you recall, the Brutes weren't in Halo 1. But that doesn't matter for Reach. Why? Halo 1 happened at Halo, not at Reach.

Thel 'Vadamee (the future Arbiter) brought his remaining Fleet to follow the Pillar of Autumn, and this fleet probably had no Brutes. But if you remember, a larger portion of the Covenant ships remained at Reach to glass the Planet; this group could have included many Brutes. We know that there were Elites in this fleet from the First Strike novel, so we may see a mix like in the Halo 2 E3 2003 Demo.

So don't count them out just because they weren't in Halo 1.

Surely he didn't bring the whole fleet to follow one ship?

In the opening cutscene of Halo 2, he states that he followed it with all the ships in his command.

I'm glad they will most likely return. I hope they are as described in First Strike. Forget that power armor stuff. At the time of Reach weren't the Brutes used as Spec Ops? So we will probably see just Brutes when they do appear.

Ha. You posted that in my thread.

There is no way we could know if there were any Brute ships in his fleet. I guess we will find out.

Correct, to clarify to anyone who doesn't know... the other Fleetmaster(s) remained behind to destroy Reach.

I personally dont think brutes will be in this. I think it will be all about the fall of reach, there were no brutes mentioned in the book. BOOM ROASTED

Why do you think it will be about Halo: The Fall of Reach?
