'''[[Halo 3 ViDoc]]: Et Tu Brute''' is a behind the scenes look at [[Halo 3]], specifically the [[Brute]]s in Halo 3. This [[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 will 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. | '''[[Halo 3 ViDoc]]: Et Tu Brute''' is a behind the scenes look at [[Halo 3]], specifically the [[Brute]]s in Halo 3.

The clips of gameplay show that the [[Brute]] race has undergone a complete redesign from [[Halo 2]] to [[Halo 3]]. The ranks of the Brutes have been streamlined; [[Brute Minor]]s and [[Brute Major]]s have been converted into a single armored class, and [[Brute Captain]]s and [[Brute Chieftain]]s have completely new elaborate armor. [[Brute Chieftain|Chieftains]], which appeared in [[Halo 2]] only in the character of [[Tartarus]], will have a combat role in [[Halo 3]], becoming the rough equivalent of [[Zealot|Zealot Elites]] in their appearance throughout the game. | The clips of gameplay show that the [[Brute]] race has undergone a complete redesign from [[Halo 2]] to [[Halo 3]].
