*According to the original printing of ''Halo: First Strike'', the Jiralhanae were first encountered by SPARTAN-II personnel aboard the ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]'' in 2552. Since the release of the novel, numerous sources have clearly demonstrated that the Jiralhane were encountered throughout the war. The 2010 re-release of ''Halo: First Strike'' removes such references to the Brutes being an as yet un-encountered species. | *According to the original printing of ''Halo: First Strike'', the Jiralhanae were first encountered by SPARTAN-II personnel aboard the ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]'' in 2552.

*In the ViDoc, ''[[Et Tu Brute]]'', Chris Butcher describes the Brutes in ''Halo 2'' as "damage sponges", referring to how they weren't very interesting to fight against, acting mainly like less agile Elites who dropped their guns and ran straight toward the player when they got angry. The ViDoc shows Brutes wielding energy swords; however they are never seen doing so in-game. ''Et Tu Brute'' also shows a Brute Minor with a Brute Shot using the corpse of another Brute as cover from which to fire from, and another tearing the arms off a captured Marine. Additionally, a Brute Chieftain wielding a [[Type-42 Directed Energy Support Weapon|plasma cannon]] wields the version from ''Halo 2''. This is because Bungie was using it as a placeholder until they developed the [[Type-52 Directed Energy Support Weapon|''Halo 3 ''model]]. | *In the ViDoc, ''[[Et Tu Brute]]'', Chris Butcher describes the Brutes in ''Halo 2'' as "damage sponges", referring to how they weren't very interesting to fight against, acting mainly like less agile Elites who dropped their guns and ran straight toward the player when they got angry.
