I'm personally fond of Elites cus they are probly the ones who put up the best fight. Hunters are fun to kill, but 1 shot in the lower body or neck, and it's game over for them. I extremely hate when Brutes go 'Berserk', I don't know why, I just do, it seems like they put up a better fight when they are shooting at you rather than charging you like a friggin animal.

Grunts because they give off that final satisfying shriek just as they die.

Let's go through them...

Grunts- Hilarious to kill

Jackals- Satisfying, "Take that, coward!"

Elites- Super Satisfying, tough to take down.

Hunters- Sad to kill, I love playing around with them. I hope they're super tough in H3. (Shields?)

Brutes- I hate them in every way except story purposes.. They're annoying, they have no indication of injury until they've died.

Drones(Buggers)- Pow, TRIPLE KILL. :)

I hart The Covenant.. At least, I hart killing them..

The Elites, they put up a good fight and they don't charge blindly at you.

I say Elites cuz of the difficulty of their shields and cuz theyre plain badass to fight hand to hand in.

Brutes comes in at 2nd cuz they go down with one carbine shot to head.

yeah... I have to agree with most people here... THE GRUNTS... its halrious to chase them and make them say funny things... then pop'em one in the back of the head... fun times...

Homerun!

It was a hard desision for me, cause I like chasing grunts. Make them say fun things, or just play around with 'em. But the grunts are so weak, so I dont think I like them the most anyway.

The hunters are fun cause you have to corner them, and jump over them to take 'em out on the weak spot at the back. But still they are a bit boring.

The drones are kind of fun to take down with carbine or battle rifle, or snipe 'em out at distance, before they're to close. But they can be really annoying sometimes though.

The elites are fun because of their intelligens and shields. You have to make a mix between grenades, shooting and meleeing to take 'em out when their in bigger groups. And you cant just jump out and charge 'em all with a single smg or somthin, cause you have to use your skills. But they can still get a bit boring in longer periods.

The brutes are fun to fight agains with the carbine. Two shots in the head (not one as someone said before. First helmet, then head-shot) and they're dead. They are also fun to fight melee against. Especialy on easy with just one plasma-pistol. No shooting, just hitting.
But the brutes can also get boring in longer periods.

Anyway I choosed the Elites, cause they're cool, badass, needs to be skilled-out and cause they're the creators of the magical words ''WORT!! WORT!!''

Ey! BTW... what does this have to do with Halo 3? Isn't it more like Halo 2?

there is one thing, the different types of each species that are there.

elites-blue
-red
-gold
-invisible
-spec. ops
-honour guard

grunts-doesnt really matter, they all are just as fun!

brutes-regular
-captains
-honour guard

drones-only one type.

jackals-sheild/plasma pistol
-sniper

hunters-like drones, only one type

personally for me, its a toss up between hunters and sniper jackals, but since there are way to many to chose from and not enough spaces i choose hunters.
