I'd make a huge thing like 5 times the hunters. Just a few of them would be in the game, at really hard parts.

They are known as Vultures. They resemble bats in the sky, but on ground they look like a raptor with folded wings. They usually fly low, and they prefer to physically attack enemies on the ground rather than blast them with their cocussion plasma bombs.

Hmmm, nice... I'd like the forerunners to turn out to be huge brute/hunter/elites who you only see once on the last level of Halo 2 where it's the last surviving forunner and you have to destroy him...heh heh

I want some flying creatures...remember when you have a loaded shotgun and a flood zombie jumps at you and you shoot him mid-air? It took skill in timing and aiming, and it is exciting and tense. In a weekly update (I forget which one) there is a silly drawing of a giant purple bat behind MC...FLYING CREATURES! It would make for some intense action.

That would be uninteresting...we've already seen those creatures, and completely new ones would be cooler.

Meta-lifeforms, a.k.a. Pheonixes:
A rare species. Only one has been sighted by human forces. Interception of Covenant transmissions suggest that these aliens originate outside the Milky Way and are working for the Covenant as mercenaries. They are immensely powerful and measure roughly 24' from nose to tailblade, and have huge dinosaur-like jaws. Their appearance in similar to that of a winged Elite, only far more ferocious and with a tail that has a razor-sharp blade on the end. It is semi-translucent and seems to glow from within. In combat, the observed lifeform seems to have preferred melee combat to long-range, but nonetheless it has destroyed an entire infantry company and 6 Scorpian tanks simultaneously without support from the Covenant armed forces. The Pheonix had wings that it uses for atmospheric flight and can control gravity within a limited sphere of influence. It uses this gravity ability to fly through space as fast as a Covenant battlecruiser. These organisms have no known weaknesses but appear to become sluggish when exposed to cold, especially in space. Its non-innate armaments include arm-mounted plasma beam weapons and a singularity-charge caster integrated into its talons. Under NO circumstances should any UNSC forces engage this lifeform unless ordered to do so by a Full Admiral of the UNSC Navy.

Would you like to meet some of them? >:) Maybe one towards the end that you have to take down using a Longsword fighter?
