my favorite would have to be the grunt because they are too funny. i think its hilarious that they act all tough when theres other covenant around, but when its down to just one grunt left, they act all cowardly and try to run away from you, and also the things they say just crack me up.

It's the Elites, and they're only going to get better the second time around :)

I'd have to go with the elites on this one. Even though the grunts do have their moments, elites are just too plain stupid. I hope they have more commen sense in Halo 2. Seriously. Diving off a bridge when a grenade rolls next to them!?!

I chose hunters mainly because they are so big and randomly brainless.
If your in a outdoor level they are easy as, but when in close quarters on legendary they can be a 5minute operation and really spook you out with their agro-random style.

i like the grunts because theyre funny as crap. you can chase them around wherever you want. like sheep. sheep with no wool and horny spyres on their backs...that talk...and want your helmet when you die.

Jackals. They actually present a challenge. Which makes them fun, but even then their skills are beginning to lack. None the less they still are the best.

I agree,the jackals are cool and left handed(as me),They have cool punk hair and red cool lizard eyes.But.....yea it's a big BUT,because when you get close to them,stand next to them,they roll out of the way(it is no point in that because they need time to hand up their shields again)And second they sometimes run at you with their shields over their heads when they got scared by you.
They are sometimes stupid but cool as hell!!!!!!!!

It looks like you are an intelligent person who deserves to be let down lightly. I normally wouldn't correct so few errors, but you look like you have real potential, so I’ll make an exception. Corrected, your post would look like this:My favorite would have to be the Grunts because they are too funny. I think it’s hilarious that they act all tough when there’re other Covenant around, but when it’s down to just one Grunt left, they act all cowardly and try to run away from you. Also, the things they say just crack me up.There are only about ten errors in your post, depending on whether or not you count the names of Covenant as proper nouns (you really should).

Actually, youre wrong too. It's meant to be there are as I dont think you can actually abbreviate it to There're.

as in "they are" rather than "there are"

A common misconception, but I commend your concern for good spelling and grammar. I think you will see the truth when you read the incorrect version in expanded form:I think it's hilarious that they act all tough when they are other Covenant around.Now you can see that "there are" is the appropriate wording.

Grunts are just too funny. My vote comes mainly from "The Maw" when you can meet a grunt who says "I'm Glad there were food nipples on that Starship, 'cos i worked up a BIG GRUNTY THIRST!"

Yeah, my bad :)

I noticed it as soon as I posted it - that's what to expect when you speed-read everything I guess.

You're bound to slip up eventually though...

I wouldn't bet on it. So far, I can't remember one error he's ever made. And I've been watching like a hawk, because, you know... It would be ironic to catch him making an error. Just like it would be ironic to catch me using a cahinsaw. And ironic to see you and ice cream with, the thing, and... What does your name mean exactly? :)

And I like the Elites the most. They are so intelligent and kick my ass sometimes.

Hello Whiz. I noticed that there is a spelling error in one of your "correction posts", and I thought I would bring that to your attention.

we aint battled the brutes yet!

Go Jackals ... they are real to fight on legendary in T&R....they take over half my health at times and leave me in very bad condistions, plus grenades bounce of their shields well far at times.
They also look cool and have a good place amongst the covenant as assassins .... But i hope their AI is better in halo2 , since theyre ment to have better hearing and sight than the rest of the covenant!

Spelling Whiz, never mind who can spell and who can't. besides no-one cares, since when online it's far easier to just talk tattily

u got dat m8?

Favorite is elite cuz they look the coolest, are very hard to beat, especailly the platinum ones, (beat The Maw on legendary today w0000000000t)

they hav the best armor, they look dangerous and look like they are actually fighting for their planet as a spec-ops sort of division

plus i heard they mite be playable in HALO2

<Q>Whats the chance a creature IDENTICAL to elites exists in the Universe?
<A>100% since the Universe goes on forever, so there has to be a chance
<A>But if the do exist the gap between Earth and Whatever could be just impossibly huge

I would have picked the Brute, but that's from Halo 2, so I chose the Grunt because they're hilarious.
