Enjoy!

I didn't reach the books so I was wondering if the Brutes were around on Reach or around the time of Reach

If so I'd love to see them scaled to size, have their hitboxes tuned, and presented as a character in H:R multiplayer

Regardless of your preference to see them in matchmaking, were they on the planet Reach? Were they involved with the Covenant at the time?

Oh, they were with the Covenant. I'm sure Bungie will put them in Reach. Lets just hope they don't have only Brutes, and come up with some -blam!- and Bull explanation as to why Elites are missing.

It's not Hip-Hop, its Electro.... prick.

I don't remember there being any brutes on Reach in the book, but it really wasn't that detailed about the fighting there. I bet there will be brutes

Nope, Reach was just the Shangheli (Elites), and everything else besides the Brutes, and I believe the Drones.

Zombie? What are you!? Racist? Its called "living impaired" you idiot!

Reach is gonna be Elites vs UNSC the whole time. Brutes weren't in Halo CE, and I don't thik they're gonna be in Halo Reach.

As i said earlier, nope
Incorrect. We don't know if they were on Reach or not. We only saw two perspectives of the Spartans' battles: John's (in space for 15 minutes) and Fred's (trapped in CASTLE base for a week). The story of 14 of the Spartans are still untold.

It is suggested that Brutes are not among the forces attacking Reach.

Before the events of Halo 2, the Brutes were the new guy to the Covenant. They were one of the lowest races of the Covenant, only above the Grunts thanks to their great strength and battle prowess.

They were used in unimportant tasks, such as scouting, searches for Forerunner artifacts (in the unpromising regions), and low level security. Their ships and troops were given only the oldest and worst technology and weapons. Their ships often lacked basic Covenant amenities such as Grav Lifts. And almost all their ships were not allowed to have operational weapons.
The Elites hated the Brutes, and oppressed them within the Covenant. They viewed them as uncivilized thugs, unintelligent and unworthy of their place within the Covenant. At any given chance, the Elites had always tried to put the Brutes in their place.

The Elites would never allow Brutes to have anything to do with their missions. It was a great Sangheli (Elite) Fleet that attacked Reach. Based on what we know from the books, Brutes would not be allowed anywhere near this great divine battle.

However, that is not to say that Brutes could be seen on Reach. Just about any plot line could be invented to throw them in there. It's Bungie's game, they have full creative control, not the fans. They could say a ship of Brutes came before the assault on some secret recon mission. They could say some Brutes were sent in personally by a Prophet during the battle to look for something on Reach. You just never know.

It's also entirely possible that Brutes will be left out of the game entirely. I for one don't think the chances of this are very high, but hey, anything could go down.
