For me the tough ones are the Jackels, with thier accuracy and the deadly rate of fire. They usally take me down in a matter of seconds.

Well the elites cant throw grenades and they usally carry a plasma rifle which has a fixed rate of fire. The only elite thats athreat is gold swordsman.

Yes but the elites dont die with one headshot unlike the other covenant ( its one backshot with the hunters) because of their sheild. If you shot the jackels hand which sticks out it reels back and you can get a headshot

Elites ofcourse...
they are the hardest, BUT... jackals are sometimes very sneaky, and shoot you from far away when you're fighting an elite, and often... kill you !
Also, sometimes when the infected elites or marines have a shotgun they give you a headshot, usually instant death.
Hunters are crap... theyre so easy, even on Legendary ( i hope i dont insult hunter-fans with this), i mean... 1 shot... and i mean ONE. Thats too easy, they only killed me in the beginning when i didn't knew the weak spot. Now i just slaughter them, me and my brother even argue who gets to kill them :P

By far, the most difficult part of the entire campaign is in "Two Betrayals" right after you destroy the 2nd pulse generator. The room gets swarmed with flood until it becomes nothing but a cluster -blam!- party of decaying and exploding flood...WITH SHOTGUNS!!!!!

You try to hide, but there is always about twenty "Lewis and Clark" flood that explore the rest of the room. They find you and prevent you from recharging your shield by shooting you with one round of assault rifle ammo until your shield starts charging again.Then they shoot you once again, and repeat until you've reached the brink of insanity Then, they simply get tired of driving you crazy with the incessant beeping of your shield and finish you off by stringing you up by your toenails with colored dental floss and beating you into unconsciousness with an organically grown carrot. (maybe I'm exaggerating just a tiny little bit, but it is so d@mn frustrating when they constantly kill me because I have no frag grenades or rockets left.)

I apologize for this coffee-fueled sermon on my troubles. :-)

If your looking for an active clan who doesn't talk "trash", allow cheating at all, and has a good community then check out our site.

Clan O7AH

its between elites and jackels I would say that their difficulty depends on what type of weapon your using.

come on people we all know that jackels are wimps. elites on the other hand are the problem (especially the ones that are yellow, invisible and have swords) they really piss me off and i mean off. im playing thinking that im am good and then i come to a room full of elites and im like holly !!!! RUN. so if you think there is an enemy harder than an elite on legendary (on easy they're just easy) please tell me.

please dont say a hunter they're worse than the grunts

Once an elite sees you out in the open, you are pretty much done for. In legendary their accuracy and fire rate is immense. Also the way they always seem to be backed up by other Covenant doesn't help shield/health wise.

Grunts, only because they are the mopst likely to kill my marines with grenades. Jackals tie with Grunts because they can pin down five of my men no problem. Hunters are a pain, but I can generally deal with them easilly(without an M19 SSM, M6D, or S2 AM). Elites are probably the least of my concerns. They are easilly countered with an MA5B and 5 marines can take on one Elite with no real problem....unless of course that is a stealth Elite or one with a blade.

I've never considered the Flood to be a threat to me at a great extent because I avoid fighting them on the levels they exsist. They are far too easilly manuevered around and when I do engage in combat with them the battles are real quick. I only consider them being a threat to my marines(343 GS is the only level where I will accept casualties), and to the Covenant.
