Yeah that's true. Look Out For The Little Guys taught me that Grunts are scary.

Definitely the flood infection forms, they may seem absolutely worthless, they may explode and cause collateral damage amongst themselves, they may pop on your shields, but they can reanimate dead bodies.

The general consensus seems to be Brutes/Drones, with a few Jackal votes in there. Personally, I think even the Legendary Grunts were not to be underestimated. I've, many a times, fought loads and loads of Brutes and Elites, and the works, only to have half a shield and make a stupid mistake and get cornered and ambushed by a couple of Grunts, and their lightning-fast fire rate on that plasma pistol was my demise. They're only a problem when there are 2 or 3 of them hiding and you run right past them. Derp.


That and they have perfect grenade arcs right over your cover. Bad memories of doing the first mission on the ark on legendary and getting the ridge I was on blasted with grunt grenades because I went for the brutes first.

I've noticed alot of people saying drones, but didn't they get more spotlight in ODST, we've got to see what their nests look like, also we know there are more ranks than just the Queen and minors.

It's the prestige that makes the illusion.

grunts, they aren't strong in squads but they overwhelm every army when they marche with hundreds.

Read: the Fall of Reach, Ghosts of Onyx and First Strike if you don't believe me.

Despite their stupidness they can be strong.

Skirmishers like OP said.


The reason for them not being in any other game or novel?
Oh, yeah. They all died on Reach.

Strength has nothing to do with intelligence.

Jackals. Most people seem them as nothing but annoying, but they deserve more credit than that. They are quite formidable enemies.


They get me every time.

  • 06.11.2012 7:57 PM PDT

I dont underrate any of them, as they all kill me far too regularly :(

I'm going to change my position to Jackals.

Read the Wikia and it says they were nearly wiped out.
OT: Enemy's? I would have to Say Drones, although they creep me out when nearby. They're dangerous in packs and are really hard to kill when flyng.

Hunters.

Although they had a major weak spot in Halo 1 and 2, on ODST on Legendary they are perfectly deadly.

I am merely a soldier in the massive army commonly known as the Internet.

Drones, nobody really gives a -blam!- about them and now that I think about it they are the only Covenant species thats homeworld hasn't ever been even remotely mentioned in any Halo book,comic,or game.

What a waste....

I like Brutes, both as a challenge in combat and in the story.

But an intelligent enemy is stronger than an strong enemy,
i know that.
But what they lack in intelligence they use in strength when in group

I say Jackals because they are so annoying to kill. I really don't like them, you have to wait and hit very small parts of their body from behind that shield, and if you don't have a precision weapon like sniper or BR/DMR then they can be a pain.

I liked how CE Jackals were made with marines in mind. They did these slow pathetic rolls when shot at allowing a big group of marines to kick their asses.

In subsequent games, Jackals are only made with the player in mind. That means they spam plasma pistol overcharged bolts, rarely panic, and wipe out marine allies like a pestilence. Very disappointing.

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

The Prophets fueled the entire war and threatened Genocide upon all who did not join them, and yet they tend to go ignored.

That works in CE, H2, and sometimes Reach. In H3, the Jackals are diving freaks.
