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 ?

I liked the challenge of the H2 Brutes, but I also really liked the AI for them in H3. The way they worked together as a pack was really cool and improved for Halo 3 I thought. But they were definitely more difficult in 2.
