*Despite having been absorbed into the Covenant in 2492, ''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'' describes the feud between the Jiralhanae and the Sangheili as "ancient".<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 193''</ref> | *Despite having been absorbed into the Covenant in 2492, ''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'' describes the feud between the Jiralhanae and the Sangheili as "ancient".<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 193''</ref> | ||
*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.

*In the ''Et Tu Brute'' ViDoc, it is revealed that the Brutes' original concept was inspired by the barbarians that plagued ancient Rome and eventually became assimilated into it. [[Wikipedia:Marcus Junius Brutus#Conspiracy to kill Caesar|Marcus Brutus]] betrayed and killed Julius Caesar and was later hunted down by Rome. This is similar to how the Brutes betrayed the Elites and were eventually defeated.

*During concept stages for ''Halo 3'', the Brutes were planned to use deployable metal shields, rather than the energy shields used by Elites. This idea was eventually cut from the final game, although it would inspire the Brutes ducking animation.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=Animation_BillOBrien '''Bungie.net''': ''A Certain Sense of Movement'']</ref> | *During concept stages for ''Halo 3'', the Brutes were planned to use deployable metal shields, rather than the energy shields used by Elites.
