You either like the covenant, or you like the spartans. Which type of soldiers would be better in battle. Or you could pick what type of soldiers you like better.

Hmmm, let's take a look-see:
Prophets are too nerdy to be soldiers, the Flood are like the Zerg, Sentinels suck, ODSTs and Marines are not nearly as cool as the Spartans, Hunters are too dumb, Brutes I can't talk about, and Grunts are- must I explain? ("I think I wet myself.") I go with Spartans because... well... maybe Elites. Elites have always fascinated me, but the MC is a one-man army. Definitely Spartans. The underdogs always get my vote.

Hunters, because they are so much like me. We both have an intimidating chunk to our bodies. We can both lay the smack-down fairly easily. And we both have the vulnerable orange spot on our back.

To death. And then he felt guilty about it. For soldiers that are supposed to be so badass, that's just sad.

HELL YES! TO DEATH!
Oh, and he was 17 at the time.

Also, look at it this way:
ONE (1) Spartan took out "an entire Covenant armada and the Flood" SINGLE HANDEDLY! Yes there were Marines, but they didn't do anything except maybe draw a little fire from you now and then. Think of the COUNTLESS Elites you slaughtered. I personally have beaten the Legendary campaign numerous times (not saying this to boast, just trying to prove a point) and if you've played TaR on Legendary then just on that mission you killed possably 30+ Elites. So that scrates Elites off the picture. Brutes, (I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY AGAINST THESE THINGS!) I can't talk about. Hunters are a joke. Jackals/Grunts, so many; so, so many. Prophets don't even fight, so if your talking about in a combat situation they would get ripped to shreds before they even saw what was comming. Sentinals are a joke. Flood are interesting. Singly they are nothing, but the entire concept behind the Flood is that they (no pun intended) flood you. So they don't really count. I already talked about how worthless Marines were. Now the fun part ODSTs. I don't know much about them from the games (not much info has been released), but in the books they are ABSOLUTLY CRAZYLY NUTS! I can't wait to work beside these men and dominate the Cov. so hardcore now.

Summery:
Spartans are the only reasonable choice.

Not true. Master Chief can flip a tank with a single hand. I'd like to see a Brute do that.

Don't read "The Flood" cause it is really just not even cool. But read the other Eric Nylund book (from the time between Halo and Halo 2) First Strike. Fantastic! Most joyful book I read because of the history I had before Halo (Fall of Reach), Halo: Combat Evolved, and then First Strike. Outstanding. You will love every second you are reading them.

Brutes are powerful, but the Spartans have far superior minds - they were as adept as OCS graduates at age 14 before receiving their augmentations. In a one on one fight, I think a Spartan could defeat a Brute, but in hand to hand the Brute would win for sure. Realistically, the Spartan would use guerilla tactics to bring low the Covenant's bastion of strength... and stupidity.

In First Strike it said that john faced a brute that almost killed him and it also said bullets bounced off the Brute's rock solid muscle... but in the 2003 e3 trailer it looked so easy to kill a brute so idk
