Supposed to come out this year, but I can't find any recent info on it.

For Halo CEA there should have been an extra campaign mode that adds things from the other games into it. That would justify it more and to me it would make it fit better in the lore due to latter editions. In Halo Reach we have Brutes but in Halo CE we don't see them even though Reach takes place before it. The same fleet that we encountered in Halo CE was the same one from Reach which would have Brutes.

I currently have the Silent Cartographer Evolved and it's exactly that, except it was free. It's going to be great if they can finish all the levels.

Halo CE and Spv3 are free. It's much better than that trashy remake that I threw $40 at, based off of what I played.

Because Brutes and Elites are different leader classes, Brute-led squads are only really used for heavy assault where force is more important than tact, until Halo 2 when Brutes took the role of Elites.

Because of this, Brutes didn't need to be deployed onto the Halo installation, as no missions suiting them would be present on a holy ringworld.

They would obviously deploy Elite-led squads rather than the Brute-led alternative.

And even if there were Brutes on Halo, why would they send Brutes after a single human?
They'd just want to take him out quickly with as few mistakes as possible, and he certainly hadn't earned the title "demon" yet.

The Covenant ships in Halo 1 are all under Sangheli shipmasters. Brutes don't serve under elites.

wowzers, I haven't played halo pc in years

TSC:E took like 8 months longer to release than planned, and presumably after that project, most of CMT were too motivationally burnt out to finish the Bugs in SPv3 off. I just hope they don't disband again and shelve the project permanently like they did with the Halo 2 Evolved campaign.

They should've just ported SPv2 across. The later maps were rushed and the color palette on TSC was fucking awful, but it was still a much better reskin, and the sounds in CEA were just as clunky as the bipeds.

Thee were multiple fleets at Reach. Thel's wasn't the only one.
