I hate the Flood Infection forms. All they do is jump at you and pop to bring down your shields so the larger Flood can take you out easier. If it weren't so fun popping a whole group of them with a shotgun blast then I'd have wished they were never in the game.

I voted for the Jackal because:

Grunts in packs are actually quite good fighters, especially in Legendary. Also, they are the only ones in the majority of the game that throw plasma grenades. Grunts also come out with some hiliarious dialog and the way they move is so damn funny.

Elites are the main thing that stand in your way when it comes to the Covenant. They are strong, quick and sometimes quite cunning and unpredictible (for example: In legendary elites sometimes come charging round corners when you think they'll just hide). Elites too have funny dialog

Hunters are simply show-offs. They are huge, they have a powerful fuel rod for their weapon and they are quite intimidating on first contact. Especially when they try and melee you with that giant metal arm. The thing is, after all that, they are really easy to kill! One shot to the orange areas with a pistol or sniper rifle and they're down for the count! Really puts the phrase "Bigger they are, Harder they fall" into practice.

Flood Human and Elite Forms are great because you know they will try and kill you no matter what. It may be annoying when they decapitate you with a rocket launcher from close range but you remember that it's their nature to do so, so its Ok. The individual doesn't matter, its the survival of the parasites' existance that does. Therefore they will sacrifice their lives to neutralise an enemy in order to ensure the flood carry on to exist.

Exploding Flood are cool because they are the ones that give those frantic, panicking moments in levels where you encounter the flood. This is mainly because they are there when you least expect it, so they explode just as you're trying to get the hell out of the way. Its great when you run round a corner and find one. It falls to the floor, you think "Holy Crap!" and quickly try to evade. Really keeps you on your toes!

Flood Infection Forms are simply there to try to take over your body. Remember if it wasn't for your shield then you'd quickly become one of them! They can be annoying when you can see one little red blip on the motion tracker only to find out it's one of them ainlessly running around. On the otherhand they can really make your close combat skills better because they always try to get close to you and they are small (making them harder targets)

Now I move onto [color=white] JACKALS [/color], now what is the point? They don't crack out any funny dialog, they cowar behind their little shields and they sit there, firing plasma at you like its going out of fashion. Simply POINTLESS in my opinion.

.....um....i actually have a different view compared to yours spartan and i wont go into too much detail..alought what you wrote it really accurate.

I think elites..in banshee's are probably the worst. The reason it yes they are easy to kill but say you were blown out of a warthog and you had health needing to be recharged..everyone alien if firing on your position and then the banshee somes and it DOESNT turn...it chases you and runs you over and the best part is...he laughs! this happened to me quite a while back but it haunts me! 0_0

the flood comes out of nowhere, beats you with the strength of a hunter, and are near invincible (to most guns)

the jackles are fun to beat, even in legendary!

infection forms because you cant use a sniper rifle on them and they keep coming takes a lot of AR bullets to kill em. basicly the shotgun is the only good weapon against them and its bullets are preciousy and rare. plus they jump 50 MPH and 100 feet.

Jackals are the ones you are supposed to use ur nades on because nades with flood a carrier form will land in from of u and blow up. elites jump and roll and does little dmg. jackals jump aside but not to far enough and they dont often jump away form nades. Grunts are so easy to kill hunters are easy to kill.

jackles are so fricken annoying i hate them. but i got used to them, use frags on their sheilds or plasma and they go bye bye.....if you hide from a jackal they will just usually follow you and try to kill you, stupid bastards.....i think the flood infections forms are fun....you stand on the bridge in Two Betrayals and let them jump at you and fall off.

Come on guys the jackles are easy, all you have to do is use the pistol or plasma pistol against them and they'll be dead in a second. If more jackles start to show up just throw grenades and blow them to hell. I think the flood elites and marines are the most annoying enemies because all they do is jump around like dumbasses and hit you with their damn arm, and when I kill them sometimes they come back to life and hit me from behind while I'm fighting off the covenant or flood and I'm like WTF.By the way I found the Caps button.
