Ranger Brutes

Ranger Brutes are similar to the Ranger Elites of Halo 2. They appear in Halo 3 only, in levels like Crow's Nest and Tsavo Highway. One can be seen in the Halo 3 E3 2007 Trailer at the 00:48 - 00:50 mark.

The Ranger Brutes can fly for only a limited amount of time, about as long as Ranger Elites. They were probably used as replacements for the Ranger Elites after the Elites became Separatists of the Covenant.

Other than the fact the fact that can fly, they are no different than any other Brutes in Halo 3.
