The Elite:

Eight plus feet of toned muscle and life-long combat training. This thing will gladly rip you limb from limb and feast on your entrails. Fast, strong, agile, and deadly with any of a dozen weapons.

The Hunter:

Twelve feet of armor and metal, a tank on two legs. Only a bare few tiny openings in its armor, and those are blocked by its huge shield that it will gladly use to pound you into the ground while it charges its Fuel Rod Cannon to blast you into orbit.

The Brute:

Rage incarnate, this beast will barrel through a wall to get you, and it's more than capable of doing it. Watch out for its Brute Shot, the grenades it launches are only one of its dangers, as it will also easily sever your head from your body.

The Grunt:

The picture says it all, find somebody else to fight.

The Jackal:

No better than the Grunt, pick a different alien.

The Prophet:

Don't let the appearance of frailty fool you, this creature will gladly order the extermination of your entire species and laugh at your pathetic attempts at survival. Religious fanatic to the core, it will not be swayed from its path.

So, which would you rather fight?

You would think that with all the advanced technology the covenant has they could armour the kidney area.

Depends on how many. Grunts can be scary en masse. Read the books for a better idea of that, heh.

A Hunter. I could solve world hunger in the time it takes to shoot and come after me.

Get that skull on legendary and they all start throwing plasma nades at you, those are really fun to dodge, specially when the lil tards hit each other

You forgot those flying insects that sneak around shooting you in the ass when you least expect it. I'd fight anyone except them. They're too damn annoying.

That'd be the Drones, and I didn't forget them, I just chose not to include them. Most people, including myself, find the drones to be nothing but an annoying irritant, not even dangerous when there are large numbers of them. Hell, the Grunts are more of a threat. I thought they would just cheapen the thread.

Oh, and I also forgot to put them in.

I would go after the prophet - kill him and you get cool earings, a floating chair, and probably the ultimate answer of everything - 42.

A Hunter, a Brute, and an Honor guard Elite (strongest kind) all at the same time.

And if that wasn't enough (BTW, 48), I'd fight all three with my bare hands. NO WEAPONS!

Me, I'd gotta say I'd pick Hunter to fight over anybody else. They might be walking artillary with armor thick enough to take a rocket at point-blank, but they're slower than my grandma and I could (literally) run circles around them.

I bought the orginal Halo for the PC after hearing all the Xbox hype. I played it through and I still can't understand why Xboxers hail it as the God of all games. It was just a plain, dull corridor shooter where the enemies (especially the Flood wh are predominate in the second half of the game) simply charge at you. To me, it was the poorest shooter I own - the multiplayer was alright but the Call of Duty multiplayer was always far better.

Sir, I recommend that you take leave of this thread at once. For your own safety, vacate this area immedietely and as quickly as possible. Do not look back, simply run for your life.
