What was more fun to fight; the Covenant when the Elites were in charge, the Brute's Covenant, the Flood, or the Sentinels?

Also which game were they the most fun to fight in? For example if I picked Sentinels I might say they were more fun to fight in Halo 2 because there were more varieties.

I would have to go with the Sangheili (elites) by far. They are much smarter and present more of a challenge. I am an extreme fan of their race and have made large groups on Bnet for them.

Their battle tactics are very versatile and unique.

tl;dr (lazy people) Elites.

I would say the Elites and the Flood, I can't really choose between them, the Elites were smart and strong but the flood came in mass and usually weren't to weak themselves(halo 3 combat forms sucked but the rest including pure forms were strong).

Sentinels, I hear that even Master Chief had a lot of trouble fighting them in CE (does any one have a source?).

Nope I'd say either Flood or Elites. Sentinal weapons can't deal with the flood alone let alone flood+brutes+elites. And Brutes get angry to quickly so they'd be infected by the flood superfast. So now its flood vs elites. I'd say elites because even in the books where Master Chief has trouble with the flood an elite called Henry survives them with only a cricket bat. Henry FTW!

Henry was dealing with a much more controlled situation then the Chief. We also know that Chief has dealt with plenty of Elites which is why I say it is a tie between Elites and Flood.

Halo CE flood and elites. The flood on H3 were so much weaker :/

Same here, elites are ozzim.

If you're talking about who would win in battle I'd say sentinels

1. they can fly which is an advantage

2. There are heaps and heaps and heaps and heaps of them

If youre talking about which ones you like more than definitely elites

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Halo:CE or Halo 2 Flood and Halo 2 or Reach Elites were the most interesting and challenging enemies to fight.

Brutes, in every game they have appeared have been irritating, dull and broken enemies.

As AverageSol says underneath you the Flood in H3 are alot weaker yet most of the time on Floodgates the Elites get taken out superfast. Out of like twenty run throughs only a third of the time is there atleast one Elite left alive other then the Arbiter. I'd say flood one to one because on the ground they pwn everyone but if the Elites could use their ships then they'd glass the hell outta the flood. And btw Henry was in a worse situation then Master Chief if you ask me cos firstly with MC there were some covenant left which distracted the flood and he was completely louded with weapons, he even had sentinels whereas as Henry had to deal with a ship full of flood just bent on them alone. If you notice only two humans survived as opposed to the numerous Elites. Also henry took out a flood with a cricket bat whereas i'm preety sure if you try to punch flood as MC is does diddley.

brutes by far... they have the most badass weapons and equipment, and the coolest variety (spec ops with flame grenades!). Also, brute cheiftens are scary mother -blam!-s.

Rofl. Sentinel weapons just slaughter flood.

Hardcore Shooter fan, 15th prestige in Black ops, here Brigadier Grade 1 and climbing. I like big gametypes, (i'm also lvl 75 in Homefront) so i play a lot of invasion. I also love alternative gametypes, like the action sack or (espacially) Grifball. Big Red Vs Blue fan. Favorite weapon; Sniper rifle. Haters gonna hate.

Flood. There fking zombies. Nuff said.

  • 08.06.2011 4:31 AM PDT

Flood, probably.
I used to hate it in Halo 3 when you killed a combat form only to have it re-infected by a spore :P

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

I'd have to say the Elite's side of the Covenant, back in the Halo 1 and 2 days.

  • 08.06.2011 7:14 AM PDT

I am the chosen wolf. You know it's me because I'm the Blue Eyed Beast. You hear the howls getting closer, and you cower in fear because you know it's me. I'm hunting you down, but you can't hide because I can smell you from a mile away. Don't worry, your death will be an easy one.

I would have to say the Elites from Halo 1, Halo 2, and Halo: Reach (but more in 1 and 2). They are very smart in battle. The Brute Covenant was too primative. They weren't as smart. And a lot of times, they would stick themselves with their own grenades if catch was on. Plus, I believe Halo 1 has the hardest to beat AI on Legendary, making the game more challenging. The flood scared the crap out of me in the first 2 Halos. lol.

IMO, Halo 2 was harder on Legendary, stupid Jackal Snipers EVERYWHERE. And the Covenant were actually even more unstoppable, given that you did not have the overpowered pistol.

I liked Halo 2 Brutes, but I feel bungie did them wrong.

They should have been more like Hunters, extreemly rare but very, very hard to kill. They should have moved at a full on galloping barrel like Halo 2 beserkers.

OT: Elites

Most ppl forget that the flood includes the pure forms, sure the combat forms sucked but the reason so many ppl hated the mission Cortana was b/c the amount of pure forms in it. Also I am addressing the matter outside of gameplay. Sure Chief did little damage with Melee in Halo 1 and perhaps 2 but in 3 he destroyed them easily with melee, gameplay simply isn't consistent enough to compare Chief's strength to Henry and while Henry did have a bad situation he wasn't dealing with the possible end of the galaxy like Chief was.

Anyway I still feel it is between Elites and Flood, Flood in Halo 1 and Halo 3(really just the ranged form) could be tough and Elites were always tough, in Halo 1 they were pretty strong, in Halo 2 on Legendary they were incredibly strong and accurate and in Reach there shields can take extreme amounts damage.
