Five Skull’s

There should be five levels of difficulty and a different skull for each level of difficulty
First Grunt, Second Jackal, Third Elite, Fourth Hunter, Fifth Brute.

Also have a way to toggle the stupid first mission/tutorial hand holding on the lower difficulty settings

In the novels the MC was able to carry a Battle Rifle (BR) and a pair of SMG’s; quote “The Chief grabbed a battle rifle and, for close use, a pair of submachine guns. He took a pair of silencers for the SMG’s and hip holster for the smaller weapons.” Halo : First Strike p300

Not a bad idea at all. But I would just switch the Elite and the Hunter and then its gold.

I agree with boot also and the back ground should be like legendary on halo the two swords over the hunter shield, or mabey they should use two plasma swords over the hunter shield, or a sword and a plasma sword over the shield....... hmmmm the possiblilites

hmmm (in my opinion) hunters are stronger than all of them.

elites and brutes are meant to be pretty much identical in terms of strength and speed. And i'd say a hunter would be able to take an elite.

Imo Hunters are weaker than Jackals even.

why?

Because even on legendary i can just either run around them hitting them and they cant touch me(which is always fun) or just make them charge me, miss and then shoot them in the weak spot.

Jackals however make me waste a whole grenade, and they can destroy my shields and actually hit me.

against a player then yes, hunters are the biggest contradiction.

But hunters versus flood, sentinels and marines? they completely rule.

No, Brutes and Elites aren't equal. Take an Elite then multiply it by 50. Then you have a Brute. It said in the books that a Brute could rip a Hunter in half with its bare hands while the Hunter has its armor on.

Yeah Brutes would kill Elites and Hunters in hand to hand, I dont know about setting em up in a battle, there hasnt been much mentioned, even in the books, about the tactics of Brutes. They do seem very intelligent, I just like to think that Elites are smarter...they're just cooler.
