I don't know what happened between games, but, Brutes in H-3 were suddenly pushovers with bad Elite armor impersonations...The H-2 Brutes were a nightmare, and their berserking was something you had to be ready for, or die. I loved the primate charging on their fists rage mode. It made for altered gameplay that put on a whole new list of considerations...Why was this abandoned, and who misses this mode ?

Everything Sliding Ghost said, plus the Sword wielding Chieftan seen in Et Tu Brute?. It would have added to the hatred from the Elites as well as showing the disrespect of the Brutes towards the Elites.
