I reccomend reading Contact Harvest. It details the life of a pack of Brutes sent to investigate Harvest. Along with Johnson's early life.
should i start there or should i start on fall of reach

I would start with Contact Harvest since it is technically first in the timeline.

"Everything works itself out. The only thing that matters is whether you want it to or not."

Last Refuge - Operation Phoenix is in effect. From the ashes, we will rise.

I don't think Brutes will really be featured in Halo Reach. I mean, they only showed up in Halo 2, and from what I know they're fairly new for a Covenant race. I hope that this is a hands down vs Sangheili battle, like in Halo.

Well the brutes have been in since Harvest so they could be inserted like they were in Halo 2...I hope they are.

Nah. I'd prefer Sangheili all the way. Brutes.... Eh.... I personally like the idea of fighting Sangheili better, provided Bungie makes them much more strategic and not as stupid as in other games. *Facepalm*

Wherever you roam
so far from home
you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible
if you avoid David Powel
and keep track of your towel.

Gameplay issues:
1.Spartans have shields
2.Elites DONT have shields
3.The ability to fire 40 MAC Blasts one after one
4.Spartan laser
5. New vehicles
6.New Vehicles that were never explained
7.Bird Flood
8.Engineers can heal organisms
9.UNSC can call down a healing circle...WTF
10.Pelicans were portrayed as completely useless flying transports and thats all.
11. The arbiter had no shields
12.The arbiter was thrown over the edge after he died,armor and all, and the armor of the arbiters is used over and over.
13. Forge held an energy sword without any wounds.
14.The elites were portrayed as giant hulking beasts about double the size of humans.


I've had enough of this non-sense.

1. Gameplay
2. Gameplay
3. Gameplay
4. Why not? It's never ever indicated when Galileans were invented. For all we know they've been around for centuries.
5. They're not new, you just didn't see them before.
6. You never saw any,
7. Why not? The Flood can infect any sufficiently large and intelligent organism and they could just be hitherto unseen pureforms.
8. Gameplay
9. Gameplay
10. Gameplay
11. Gameplay
12. It's highly plausible that Thel 'Vadamee was given a spare set of armor. Ripa's armor probably wouldn't fit Thel anyway (too big).
13. What? Many people hold energy swords without wounding themselves. It would be a pretty foolish weapon if you couldn't turn it on without cutting your arm.
14. Only the Arbiter was shown as a great hulking beast (and he is supposed to be big even for an Elite). The other Elites were only slightly redesigned for a more sinister look but were still roughly the same physically.

Something you should keep in mind is that GAMEPLAY IS NOT CANONICAL. It is equally non-canonical that Marines are totally retarded, that Brute armor disintegrates at the drop of a hat, that a Scorpion's top speed is less than 20 mph, and that a Spartan-II can heal from any non-lethal wound in less than a minute.

OT: Yes, there should be Brutes. Brutes in Reach would conflict with about two sentences in First Strike. To put this in perspective Elites in The Cole Protocol conflicts with about a dozen sentences in The Fall of Reach.

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


It is probably to see Brutes (Not sure), but i miss fight real enemys like Elites, so i keep my hopes up to encounter and have a great fighting against Elites more than the weak Brutes.

Quite frankly, I really hate Halo Wars, and grudgingly regard it as canon. Now, I think that the biofoam thing makes complete sense. Yes, it does seal the wound and numbs it. That combined with Spartan physiology and the armor means that the would can be taken care of like that. I think that if Reach is squad based, it would be cool to have different missions where you play as Covenant. Imagine leading a small Brute pack as a Chieftan. That would be cool.
