[[Isaac Hannaford]] - 2:00 - The concept artist tries to communicate through composition what the idea is trying to get across. A lot of times the direction just gets narrowed down to, 'can you just make it look cool'. The Brutes originally looked a lot like Chewbacca: like they were just big hairy guys with a Bandolier. I looked at a lot of animal reference, rhinoceros, and some gorilla. Their natural body plating was Brutish! This was our way of, like, kind of pulling them into the fold of the Covenant. They've got kind of ancient looking buckles and gauntlets, and leather straps holding all that stuff together. Making them a little more serious bad guy ... I hope. | [[Isaac Hannaford]] - 2:00 - The concept artist tries to communicate through composition what the idea is trying to get across.

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, far more 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 Elite]]s 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.

Brutes will also demonstrate pack mentality, interacting with one another in both combat and non combat actions, attacking as a team, and taking orders from commanders. | ||
How the Brutes will interact with other Covenant races is not known, but they are seen commanding groups of [[Grunts]] in battle, and will likely have a commanding style different from the Elites. | How the Brutes will interact with other Covenant races is not known, but they are seen commanding groups of [[Grunts]] in battle, and will likely have a commanding style different from the Elites. | ||
