Brutes always had Energy Shields in Halo 3 but the shield flare effect wasn't present. You do see how the lights in the Power Armor start brightening until the shield overloard and the armor falls apart. The shield does regenerate as long as the shield hasn't been overloaded, the lights go dimmer if you wait...
In ODST, shield flare was added, for unknown reason. Maybe it was bugged in Halo 3, maybe they wanted Brutes to be more like Elites who aren't present in ODST.
