"Concise and devoid of elegance...what I have come to expect from human communication"-Endless Summer
Elites did not get pissy because the Brutes took their "hats" and ships.They got enraged to find that Brutes were killing Elite soldiers after they had killed the humans in the area. Elites would have splintered from the Covenant after they figured out that Humans did not have any artifacts on them but were in fact the artifacts themselves. Brutes would have continued to kill until there were no Humans left.Brutes and Elites have the same physical strength, but no the same intellectual strength. Elites have always thought the Humans as honorable, Brutes have always blindly killed and slaughtered humans...UNARMED humans.The Brutes in Halo:ODST were given E-Shields before deployment because Truth knew about the betrayal of the Elites and wanted the first Brute commandos to have shields. Elites have honor, grace, and respect for their opponents, in Halo:Legends(which is Canon and has a lot of artistic interpretation) in the Package the red Elite(presumably Thel Vadam) gives Master Chief a ENERGY SWORD to make the fight fair and an honorable victory. Brutes decimated Harvest, a peaceful farming colony, and then proceeded to glass it AFTER the military had been destroyed.Halo Reach's Brutes are fine, just ugly (like they should be). Albeit Elites did hold Noble Six down and beat him to death after greatly weakening him emotionally and physically, this may have been a ritual of some sort.The only Brute I ever thought highly of is the commander from Halo Wars. The Elites were always great strategists. Brutes usually just act as bullet sponges, and charge.Much like the no-scoper, they have no "7rue" skill.
This is just me comparing the two and basically saying I like the Elites better, and hated them when they were still in the Covenant.
