this is probably a stupid question but where did brutes come from? like in halo 1 there where elites and no brutes then in halo 2 there where brutes, and on reach there are brutes, did the brutes just decide its time for a holiday during halo ce?

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

The brutes were in after Halo CE in the books. Bungie didn't think of Brutes in Halo until the second.

In my opinion, brutes were very underwhelming, elites always offer a greater challenge, brute just get mad then charge you, so easy to drop. I can see where they were going with the story, but still, fighting elites is always better

agreed but i just like how the brutes have more of a human shape because you wont waste BR ammo aiming for the head which on an elite is in the middle of the chest

Pretty much, except for the beginning of "Uprising." Sheesh. Even to this day, I fail 4 times out of 5 to just advance up the hill. Brutes were termed as a "new addition" to the Covenant for 2. In Bungie terms, they were probably deployed in different places, given their innate contentiousness with Elites. Can't ruin a good invasion with internal squabbling...
