*Although in ''[[Contact Harvest]]'' the Brutes wear the armor that they wear in ''[[Halo 3]]'', the armor changes for some reason in ''Halo 2''.

Nonetheless, the question remains of why the Brutes gave up their power armor. The Brutes seen in ''Halo Wars'' also wear the ''Halo 3'' Brute armor.[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/bastable/brutes.jpg] The Halo 2 armor seen may simply be Brute civilian dress. | *Although in ''[[Contact Harvest]]'' the Brutes wear the armor that they wear in ''[[Halo 3]]'', the armor changes for some reason in ''Halo 2''.
