'''[[ViDoc|Halo 3 ViDoc]]: Et Tu Brute''', released on December 20, 2006<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?cid=9340 Bungie.net News]</ref> was a behind the scenes look at ''[[Halo 3]]'' with a focus on the [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]]. This [[Seven|7]]:03 min (7:00 excluding the Xbox 360 logo and slogan) clip interviews various [[Bungie]] employees about the Brutes and their development, how they were created in ''[[Halo 2]]'' and how they would be expanded upon in Halo 3. Its name, "Et Tu, Brute?" is Latin for "You too, Brutus?" (more literally "And you, Brutus?"), either a pun on the name or origin of the name of the Brutes. These are also said to be the last words spoken by Julius Caesar.

The clips of gameplay show that the [[Jiralhanae|Brute]] race underwent a complete redesign from ''[[Halo 2]]'' to ''[[Halo 3]]''. The ranks of the Brutes were streamlined; [[Jiralhanae Minor|Brute Minors]] and [[Jiralhanae Major|Brute Majors]] were converted into a single armored class, and [[Jiralhanae Captain|Brute Captains]] and [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Brute Chieftains]] were given completely new elaborate armor. [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftains]], which appeared in ''[[Halo 2]]'' only in the character of [[Tartarus]], were shown to have a combat role in ''[[Halo 3]]'', becoming the rough equivalent of [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealot Elites]] in their appearance throughout the game.

In addition, the video demonstrates some of the new actions Brutes would have been taking. Their combat styles were shown to be far more aggressive and brutal than [[Sangheili|Elites]], and several potential moves were shown, including a Brute ripping a [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]]'s arms off, a Brute ramming a Marine into a truck trailer, a Brute tipping a [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]] over and a Chieftain smashing a Marine's head with a [[Type-2 Energy Weapon/Hammer|Gravity Hammer]]. Brutes also demonstrate pack mentality, interacting with one another in both combat and non combat actions, attacking as a team, and taking orders from commanders. Also, it showed an [[Sangheili|Elite]] dual-wielding two energy swords to slice off the legs of a brute who looks strikingly like [[Tartarus]], then doing a coup-de-grace on the falling brute. They were seen commanding groups of [[Unggoy|Grunts]] in battle, suggesting a commanding style different from the Elites. Also, a designer's screen revealed the [[Type-2 spike grenade|fourth grenade]] for the first time.
