I was playing Halo: Reach earlier today with my roommate, and suddenly she asked why the Brutes weren't in Halo: Combat Evolved, yet they were in Halo: Reach and all of the other Halo games. While I'm usually well-versed in the universe/lore of the game, her question genuinely stumped me.

So, dear community, mind filling me in on a canonical reason why they're missing from Combat Evolved?

Considering they weren't allowed their own ships, I'd say landing on the holiest structure known to the Covenant was entirely out of the question.

(It was a trust issue)

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

They were not made yet when CE came out, or, Thel's fleet was made out of just Elites.

Imagine a triangle. It's perfect, but a little plain. You take a chisel, and carve a small decorative symbol into it to make it a little more interesting. People like it, but it could use a little more.

So you then take a sledgehammer..

The Fleet Master (Thel Vadamee) that followed the PoA to Installation 04 despised Brutes, so he didn't have any on his ships.

Completely makes sense! Thanks for the info, everyone. :)
