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]].

In addition, the video demonstrates some of the new actions Brutes will be taking. Their combat styles will be far more aggressive and brutal than [[Elite]]s, and several potential moves were shown, including a Brute ripping a [[Marine]]'s arms off, a Brute ramming a Marine into a [[Shadow]], a Brute tipping a [[Warthog]] over and a Chieftain smashing a Marine's head with a Gravity Hammer. 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. oddly, there was a chieftian with an energy sword but it was never seen in the game and neither was the elite with dual energy swords | In addition, the video demonstrates some of the new actions Brutes will be taking.

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. | ||
