Okay for me and several other people these ideas are old, but for most of you, maybe even some Bungie staff, these are new. I'll explain the original ideas first and then upgrades to your old favorites.
Stalker- This is a Covenant scout unit. Approx. 5' 2" in height, has a purple-gray skin color, two dull blue eyes, five fingers each with 4 inch talons(meant for climbing walls), and a really nasty temperment. They are thin and agile. Their purpose to to scout out the battle field from a safe distance, snipe, and to kill silently with their claws. On their arms are mounted plasma weapons that fire twin bolts of red plasma or they can carry a sniper rifle for long range shots. They generally prefer the dark and are more patient then any other alien. If they land on you, they will wreck you. Watch the walls and ceiling as they can climb and crawl along them really freaking fast.
Zealot- This is a personal favorite. It is roughly 6' 5" tall, bipedal, its entire body is encased in a ritualistic body armor that shows no flesh what so ever. These are the hidden body guards of the Covenant Prophet class. Most Prophets don't even realize exactly how many of these such guards protect them. Their species is so rare they are never made mention to the normal troops All the warrior caste knows is that they are Covenant and are not to be shot. On the Zealot's wrists are mounted plasma blades that can be retractable when need be, on their left arm above the blade is a tower shield that is optional and not all too different from that of a Jackal, but they also have full body shielding stronger than that of a Black Elite on Legendary mode. They are speak all Covenant and primary human languages. They are smart, as fast as a Spartan and have no mercy. They are trained in every Covenant weapon and are the best of the best.
Now for the old classics.
I have two ideas for the Hunters.
1. Is to make two new ranks for them. A red armored Hunter and a Black veteran type. The red armored one has his back covered with a plate of armor so you can only hit the little spot in his throat and in his stomach. Also the Black Hunter has that spot covered as well as his stomach so the one hit kill only works in his neck.
2. New gun. The Red Armored Hunter will recieve an upgrade to the Fuel rod gun. It fires blue, hotter, plasma instead of the old green. So the Chief dies even quicker once hit. For the Veteran Hunter a three round burst of the blue plasma is given so it has a better chance of hitting.
Those are my half cocked ideas. Please give suggestions or come up with imporvements/ flaws in my ideas. Heck post some of your enemy concepts as well. Anything goes as far as this post is really concerned....just keep it on Halo.
