Editing Infected Brute Chieftain

The '''Flood Brute Chieftain''' is a possible variant [[glitch]] of the Half-Infected Brutes Glitch that can be found on the ''[[Halo 3]]'' level, [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]].

==Walkthrough==
It can be done by getting a Flood [[Infection Form]] to infect a [[Brute Chieftain]]. These two do not normally exist in the same area, although there is a War Chieftain at the third tower; however, the player must do a loading glitch and the time travel glitch, preferably on Co-op. The only way to get them together is to kill all your allies outside the third [[Barrier Tower|tower]] in the level, while leaving one or two Flood [[Carrier Form]]s alive. Kill the Carriers and let the Infection Forms chase you up into the snow area. Kill the War Chieftain stationed there and let the Flood take him over.

As observed in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4T7HdE2GL0 this video], after being infected, the Chieftain's appearance does not change except for some signs of Flood infection on his back. He retains all his normal combat abilities, including vehicle boarding. His shields stay down. The infected Chieftain attacks both the player and nearby Covenant, indicating that the Chieftain is allied with the Flood, contrary to popular belief.

==Explanation==
The infected Brute Chieftain may be an older version of Flood Combat Forms created in-game. The Flood would not totally change the host's body immediately after infection. This idea would have been cut from the game, possibly because the Combat Forms looked too similar to the original enemy.

 ==Walkthrough==
-This glitch can be done by getting a Flood [[Pod infector|Infection Form]] onto a [[Brute Chieftain]]. These two do not normally exist in the same area. The only way to get them together is to kill all your allies outside the third [[Barrier Tower|tower]] in the level, while leaving some Flood [[Carrier Form]]s alive. Kill the Carriers and let the Infection Forms chase you up into the next snow area. There, kill the War Chieftain and let the Flood take him over.

-The glitch occurs on the level ''The Covenant'' because there is an unloading point which removes all the Flood from the level. When an Infection Form is in the process of transforming a dead Brute into a combat form and the player triggers the unloading point, the Flood Infection Form is physically removed from the level, but ultimately resurrects the Brute. The Brute's AI, having been formerly allied with the Covenant, is now allied with the Flood.
