ennemies A.I are perfectNNNOOOOOO!!!
Elites
Good: grenade throwing, firing while doing evasive maneuver sidestep, firing their plasma rifle aggressively, know when their shields are weakened, can be caught unaware (a la CE), no crate climbing!!, various ranks (and they are distinct in appearance)
Bad: excessive berserking, excessive damage, semi-omniscient trait that H3 Brutes had, less surprise (often, you'll just end up with a smack or kick in your face if you fall down from above or sneak up on them), reverse melees, damage sponges (in CE, Elites had the same health but different shield levels. Now Elites have differing health and shields), bottomless clip, too animalistic, too fast, out of character Zealots :'(, no more Ultra Elites pulling out swords :(, drunk Wraith drivers
TLDR: handicapped badasses
Concussion rifle spam = pathetic
Excessive berserking = poor balancing
One hit kill melee = annoying (especially when it's super fast)
Brutes
Good: health system (a la H2, no armor just helmet and exposed flesh), new -blam!- scary hammer attack, plasma grenades (dropped spike grenades were hazardous)
Bad: can't be assassinated if they detect player, grenade throwing (friendly fire + suicide), inability to recognize plasma batteries as hazards
Hunters
Good: fuel rod cannon, huge and menacing, powerful, they use their shields to shield their face
TLDR: Badass
Grunts
Good: they go flying when shot while climbing certain crates
Bad: plasma pistol overcharging (on the other hand, this is limited to Grunt Ultra), they are uglier, have a new evil dance jumping animation thing (I categorize it as bad because it's hard to induce/reproduce it), less panicking (on the other hand, this means it's easier to headshot or beat them down), Ultras have helmets (on the other hand, they're no longer damage sponges yay!)
TLDR: What have they done to my Grunts?!
Jackals
Good: NOTHING
Bad: Everything; moving shields.
TLDR: I say replace all Jackals with Hunters. I'd rather fight an army of moving equipment. That's how much I hate Reach Jackals.
