If we are able to get this, the most likely way is through an upgraded set of Halo Wars 2. Will this be something that we can get? We’ll let’s speculate a little. We definitely need the Brutes back in Halo. So it’s clearly not Tartarus either.Ĭount me intrigued by this character. Another big clue (that you can find in the trailer, through the link above), is that this new brute has a robotic arm. Is it Maccabeus? (Tartarus’s uncle, for whom he destroyed and gained leadership of the brutes) Is this a younger Tartarus himself? Or someone new? Another fan pointed out to me that with regards to the timeline, this couldn’t be Tartarus’s uncle as he was killed before the events of Halo Wars.
They said we’d have to wait to learn about that.Īdditionally, who is this Brute? I gave this some thought. I attempted to get an explanation of this from 343. Is that part of a backplate with his armor? Or, is it fused to his head. One thing interesting to note is the three-pronged attachment to his skull. This may be an insight into his character. I like that he’s got a kind of Scottish/Viking feel to him. He’s an ugly mug, isn’t he? Not the sculpt, the actual character. What you may not have seen is a sculpted bust of the Brute leader. By now you’ve seen the Brute leader from the Halo Wars 2 trailer.
