In the original E3 Demo for Halo 2, you fly in with some ODSTs and make it into New Mombassa. As mentioned before, on that demo you fight Brutes, who are in NEW MOMBASSA. Now, that same exact beginning cut-scene can be seen in the final build of Halo 2, but, since bungie had to re-do literally everything for Halo 2, they had to change the story a little. And instead of landing in New Mombassa for an epic fight with the ODSTs and encounter the bruits. You instead get shot down by a scarab and land in Old Mombassa.
So, Bungie originally did have plans for you to fight bruits in Mombassa, but it just didn't happen due to story rewrites for the game. BUT they were there. As seen in ODST. It's really not that complicated to understand.
