Right now I'm at the battle right after the start of "The Broken Path". I started making my way over to the position the Marines are trapped in, killed some Grunts and I hear the sound of Jump Pack Brutes head toward me. I overcharge shot one of them, because they landed on top of this...I'm not sure what it was, but they were all bunched up. He starts tracking me in to this small building I go in to. Once he tries to look inside I smack him in the face, back up to avoid his melee and finish him with a BR burst. His two buddies stayed on the spot they landed, so I just jumped and stuck them both one at a time. I'm planning to back off on the area again so I can use the Sniper Rifle to clear up the Grunts without feeling like I'm going to get swarmed by those Jump Pack Brutes anymore. I'm just surprised those Marines are still alive.
Have you tried skipping the Jump Pack Brutes? If I remember right, there should be an area to the right of the sniper tower past the Jump Pack Brute area (where the Choppers are) that has good cover. During a couple of my Tsavo attempts, my Warthog was destroyed, so after clearing the area you're talking about of the initial wave of Brutes, I ran past it to the next area before killing enough Covenant to activate the Phantom and used the aforementioned cover to commandeer a Chopper. If the place I'm remembering really exists, I'm sure you can use it to destroy them too. Also, the Wraith that comes with the Jump Pack Brutes is usually circling in the next area with the Choppers until the Phantom comes. However, in one of my Warthogless runs, I didn't see the Wraith anywhere back there. It either despawned for some reason or just never spawned in the first place. Unfortunately, those attempts were so long ago, I don't remember any other specifics.
