Please don't send me PMs about your Bungie group. I don't care.

I hear you BTW, Kat is the worst AI I have ever had in my turret. The Elite who hi-jacked her was better!

So seeing as how this is BEFORE the Halo events, that means the Elites will still be part of the Covenant. But will the Brutes be there?

I mean if you put the books and the games together you have conflicting anaswers. If you go soley off the games, there will be no Brutes. Because we didnt see them, or the Drones for that matter until Halo2. But throw the books in there and the Brutes should be there. And if the Brutes are there, there is still conflict.

In the Halo 2, as we all know, the Brutes are introduced and are the second in rank next to the Elites. Ok, that's cool. I mean Bungie has to keep things fresh so it made sense to introduce a new enemy. Halo 3 rolls out and the Brutes have now taken the Elites place as the top warrior caste in the Covenant and have shiney new armor to show for it. Now the problem is if you throw in Contact: Harvest, the Brutes are the ones that make first contact with humanity and are wearing their shiney new armor. Not only that but they also have the Choppers in the novel too.

So it should be intresting to see if Bungie will have them in there or not.

Back in those days, Brutes were simply the Prison Wardens of the Covenant. There could be a section of the game where we are taken into Covenant custody and escape, forced to fight Brutes along the way.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Actually following the Books, the Brutes should not appear either. The Brutes were responsible for the attack on Reach. And then after that the UNSC ran into Grunts, and Jackals for the most part. Reach was the first major battle between the UNSC and the Elites. According to the books, Brutes did not fight on Reach, so I don't expect to see any more than Elites, Grunts, Jackals, Hunters and Engineers in this game (Engineers are confirmed to appear in Halo ODST as well). But if you do missions that did not appear in the Books, that include the Brutes and Drones, I won't mind at all.

The Brutes were resonpsible for the attack on Harvest, not Reach. Also where did you see that Engineers were confirmed for ODST?

Both Brutes and Elites were on Reach, but Brutes were very low classed Covenant. I think there'll be about 90% Elites to kill, and 10% Brutes.

Well, actually he is right, Brutes have never fought in any battle on Reach that were in the Book. However, if this game features fights that were NOT in the Books, Brutes may appear.
