'''[[ViDoc|Halo 3 ViDoc]]: Et Tu Brute''' | {{#widget:YouTube|id=WPOlLH8p8u8|width=300|right}} | ||
'''[[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 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 [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|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. | ||
==Trivia== | |||
*In Latin ''[[Wikipedia:Et tu, Brute?|Et tu, Brute?]]'' translates to "And you Brutus?", "Even you Brutus", and "You too, Brutus?". It was used prominently as Julius Caesar's final words in William Shakespeare's ''Julius Caesar'' as a Latinization of his believed final words, the Greek "''Kai su, teknon''", as he was murdered by the senate including one of his closest friends, [[Wikipedia:Marcus Junius Brutus|Marcus Junius Brutus]]. Additionally, ''Et tu Brute'' is commonly used as the epitome of betrayal and as a figure of speech the ultimate betrayal by one's closest friend(s). | |||
*Many of the animations featured in this ViDoc never made it into the final game. | |||
*One video clip shows a Brute Chieftain wielding an [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]], something which was not shown in the final game, and to date has never been seen in the Halo series. Brutes can also be seen wielding Halo 2 versions of weapons such as Plasma Cannons and Gravity Hammers. | |||
*Based on this ViDoc, Brutes were originally to have lime green blood, yet when the game was released their blood was red much like that of a human. In ''Halo 2'', their blood was instead purple. | |||
