Subject: Why weren't Hunters the Honor Guard?

Just to clear some things out, The Covenant was meant to consist of 14 races not the 7 we face in Reach(Not counting Skirmishers)
And one of those races was another form of the eels from Tae that looked very similar to Elites, I'm not sure how to send this to you but they were called Alien troopers.

I am Field Master Avu Med 'Telcam, Servant of the Abiding Truth, and I have many brothers.

A god who creates tools is still a god. It is not for us to impose qualifications upon the divine or presume to guess its intentions.

Because Sangheili are better. Taming of the Hunters?

Which was won because they were going to bomb the Hunters from Orbit
They got pwned fighting them on the ground

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Elites and Prophets were the first to forge the Covenant. It was more about tradition and honor than strength. That is partially why the Elites were PO'd when the Brutes replaced them, the Elites felt they had no honor.

Well,if you play against some hunters on heroic or legendary,you can still kill them with ease from the back,and elites are faster and more wise.

So elites own brutes and hunters(and spartanas :P)

52,000 kills in Halo 2 and more legendary playthroughs in CE than you can imagine. I am truly a God.

Hunters are prone to rebellion. Don't you remember the Gas Giant level in Halo 2 where they were the heretics?

-That isn't canonical. Stop confusing these poor people.

Expressing my strong liberal views without shame. Favorite quotes below:

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
"One starts to live when he can live outside himself."

- Albert Einstein

The Elites were like samurais, whereas Hunters were dumb brutes.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Uhh, as memory recalls, I cant remember a single hunter in that level.

What a waste....

They're slow. Fred (or any Elite) could outrun them, as on First Strike.

Ever read the book "The Flood"? They can be extremely fast once intimidated.

Pretty much this, because at the founding of the covenant between the Elites and the Prophewts, the Prophets agreed for the Elites to guard them, while they investigated artifacts. If the Prophets did decide to use Hunters as honor guards, they would be breaking their contract with the Elites, who would probably rebel against them for their honor.
