Indeed Rome Total War does pronounce it that way ( I love that game), but I think there are a few things they pronounce wrong on there (cant remember exactly what right now, its been a while). I'd think if it was pronounced Brutee-eh, it would be spelled Brutie. But if a Latin teacher pronounced it that way its likely correct (I would hope). I'm thinking though that there is a difference between classical Latin and what the Church used (I believe that is called "vulgar" Latin) May have been a difference in accent/pronounciation at different times. Like here in the US, we used to have true English accents. Not any more obviously.
