I think that a Halo movie would have to be a combination of CG and live action, using human actors and animatronic covies/ flood whenever possible. The Chief ( and any other spartans ) would have to be digital on account of the fact that it's really hard to find 7' people who can act. With that being said, here's who I would cast.
The Master Chief: Digital, voiced by Steve Downes, the voice actor from the game.
Captain Keyes: Harrison Ford or possibly Ed Harris
Seargent Johnson: Carl Weathers, Keith Davids, or Samuel L. Jackson
Cortana: Digital, voiced by Jen Taylor
Carol Rowly aka Foehammer: Vivica A. Fox
as for the covenant....
Elites: voiced by Vin Diesel, Arnold Shwarzenegger
Grunts: voiced by John Leguizamo, Gary Coleman, Robin Williams, and/ or Jack Black
Brutes: voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan, Michael Ironside
Prophet: I don't know his name, but he played Lo- Pan in Big Trouble in Little China.
As for Hunters and Jackals, I have no clue. These two species got the short end of the stick dialogue-wise in the game and the books. So I'm guessing they won't get much love on the big screen either. They will most likely sound like they do in the game.
Also, I pick Peter Jackson to direct. The LOTR trilogy had a great story, top notch visual effects, and incredible battle scenes, which is what a Halo movie ought to be like.
