All in all, I wish Bungie would make the Covenant more interesting. Really, all they do now is this:
- Hold 1 weapon
- walking around in circles trying to flank you
- if you get to close: hit you (or run if it is a Grunt/Jackal)
- if it is a Brute: go into berserk mode.
It gets so lame after a while.
Now imagine this:
- Higher ranked enemies (Elites/Brutes and some Jackals) have a side arm. We as a player have it, why not give Elites this:
* Plasma Rifle
* Secondary: Energy Sword for higher ranked Elites and Carbine for lower ranked Elites
And Brutes:
* Spiker
* Secondary: Mauler (or Brute Shot)
And Jackals:
* Beam Rifle or Carbine
* Secondary: Plasma Pistol or Needler
Now imagine the enemies actually switching weapons depending on your actions. You get to close to a Brute using a Spiker, he will swap to a Mauler. That would make fighting the Covenant a lot more interesting. Just because at first you think you can use strategy #1 to defeat a Carbine Jackal, and the next moment you have to rethink that because he has now pulled out a Needler.
I also like the ideas posted about Jackals being more ferocious. Having melee attacks where they try to rip you apart and bite you. The books/comics always describe Jackals as being like that, yet the games make them seem weak.
