there were brutes in halo Reach
but were have they gone in halo CE (A)
anyone?
i don’t know what to do now…
i…am bored
Brutes were never in Halo CE though and this is a remake of Halo CE not Reach.
I far as I know at the time when the original Halo CE was released, the Brute hadn’t even been conceived yet. They were an addition for Halo 2. One Halo artist commented, (I think it was Shi Ki Wang) that the Brute were “introduced a bit too late”.
The answer is simple, the ships that pursued the Autumn where Elite ships and therefor did not have any Brutes on board.
Real world: Bungie didn’t invent them yet.
In universe: Elites and Brutes had a rivalry even before the Great Schism, and they did not often share ships. The portion of the Covenant fleet that made the jump from Reach to Installation 04 was an Elite fleet, not a Brute fleet.
sigh Bungie didn’t invent Brutes just for Halo 2, guys. I’m positive they were on the cutting room floor during Halo: CE’s development, as well as the Engineers and probably the Drones.

The only thing that I can say is they could be mentioned in the books…

I’ve read every Halo book published, watched Halo legends, and played EVERY Halo game to date.
This gentlemen I have quoted has the correct answer.
And Elites and Brutes NEVER shared ships.
AND before Brutes took command of ships Elites toured the ships to make sure Covenant technology unworthy of Brutes was removed.
For example, Brute ships weren’t allowed elevators.
They ripped them out and replaced them with ladders.

Which is my biggest problem with The Package from Halo Legends. Despite being the most Halo-like animation wise, it featured Brutes in an Elite ship, when every other piece of Halo media said otherwise.
Story reason: There were no Brutes on the ships that were at the Halo ring.
Real reason: Bungie hadn’t thought of Brutes yet.
Brutes don’t appear until halo 2 because then is when they replace the elites as the leader of the covenant fleets . There were brute shipmasters but they didn’t have many of the same privileges(technology, control,etc.) as elites and there weren’t that many. Brutes weren’t a major part of the military until halo 2. And I’m pretty sure Brutes shouldn’t have even been in Reach because of this.

Nah, it makes sense that they were in Reach. They were also in Contact Harvest and in Wars, both of which take place well before Reach. The Brutes were used throughout the war, they just didn’t see as much action as the more respected Elites. Around the time of Halo 2/ODST, the Great Schism turned this around, the Elites left the Covenant, and the Brutes stepped up as the Prophets preferred race.
