Subject: Perhaps Brute Chieftain could be featured

If anyone has the Halo Wars Special Edition you probably have seen the cards for each hero.
I noticed it said something particular on the Brute Chieftains card.

As part of the assault on harvest ha has grown to respect humans in battle for both their salvage nature and perseverance against incredible odds. Death in battle against humans would not be without honor. He is currently looking to regain some political clout within the covenant.
On the front it says...
The Chieftain despises the Arbiter

Considering this, I thought it would be sweet to see the chieftain involved some way in the story.
It could be about him plotting against the Arbiter (even though HW Arbiter is dead), or he could get involved in the human-covenant activity. Who knows?

I would like to see him more in Halo especially since he was never in the halo wars story.
Also he didn't really have his grove in halo 2

The Sangheili despise the Jiralhanae and therefore would not likely let them participate in the Battle itself.

The Jiralhanae arrived at Harvest because of
a. Dadab's distress beacon
b. They thought Humans were Forerunner Relics...
I'm not quite sure why they're in Halo Wars though...

Because Halo wars crapped all over the Halo story line?
Dont get me wrong I like skirmish and all...But it just took a giant crap on the Halo storyline and canon.

13. Forge held an energy sword without any wounds.
14.The elites were portrayed as giant hulking beasts about double the size of humans.

"Eyes from Death's dream kingdom appear as sunlight on a broken column. There, in Death's other kingdom, walking alone, trembling lips form prayers to broken stone."

Maybe. I'd like to go back to fighting the Elites though. They were much better enemies to fight than the brutes.

cant argue there. I was just reading all the threads about a covenant side to the story and Brute and Brute Chieftain involvement could be one way of doing it

Most of these were because of multiplayer issue 12 doesn't make sense though. I guess they could just make new armor *shrugs shoulders*. 3 too and 7

Yes but even in Halo 2 they remark" Your armor is a very outdated one, passed form arbiter to arbiter, your camouflage will not be as good as ours."
But even though they were multiplayer issues most were incorporated into Campaign.

wow then the only way the armor could have gotten back was if they some how found him on the ground, unlikely. Good point

4.The spartan laser was not developed until Cortana had searched through Covenant files and found out how their weapons work.She made the first prototype pretty much.
7.Birds do not have enough mass for the flood to infect, they have the ability, like grunts and jackals to not be infected.
12.Its passed down from arbie to arbie.
13.Even if it was, it would have either melted his hand to his glove, or caught his glove on fire.You have to remember...PLASMA.

They were on a forerunner planet, not a human controlled one.

Which means they would have blown up in the super nova if they did try and get it.

noooo they had a good 30 min. to find him lol

Oh yeah, I forgot about the 30 minute mission,either way the was a LOOOOOONG drop.
I mean, if they cover the ground with cloud like mist, you know that's a long way down, I don't think the covenant would go looking for some armor when they know they are beat.

12.Not entirely likely, because that would be a melton glob of metal slag
13.What keeps Arbie from having his hand melted?

4.But she learned how to make the Spartan laser a stable weapon because she learned how they made, and used their weapons to where they were stable.
7.The developers even commented that it seemed like a half buzzard cross.However they give no origin to the species whatso ever which may mean they had no idea how to enter it in.
12.How so?
13.Supposedly the SHIELDS HE HAS.
