Ok, this may have been done before, but I made a small list of some of the more difficult enemies in Halo. These enemies are (usually) the hardest snemies to kill or evade. Personally, I'd have to go with Elite Zealot with Energy sword if I don't have a banshee or human vehicle, and rocket flood if I don't have a pistol. But I'm curious, what are your opinions?

DEFINITELY the Zealot with the sword. I don't much mind the stealth Elites with swords, because they have lower shields and you can see where they are because the swords aren't camouflaged.

I will concede that the Zealots are, indeed, exceptionally deadly. However, freakin' crossing Rocket Flood filled bridges with one health on Two Betrayals will haunt my nightmares.

also, i died a few times on legendary at those parts of the silent cartographer where you face too many stealth elites. my strategy is to pop them with a pp on overcharge to make them visible for a while and switch to the AR or pistol to kill them.

why does it make 2 posts if i click on edit post? maybe i just clicked the wrong button 0_o

Those black spec-op Elites are tough. Very very tough. Not only do they throw stickies very very well but they don't coward out if you stick them. Oh no, if you stick them they charge at you.

The zealot was hard but the rocket launcher flood was harder.

Zealot with a plasma rifle. They chip down your sheilds from a distance and are freakin' hard to kill.

zealot elites with pr for sure. you definately need cover, and they chip your health away in two seconds.

Those can all be tough. On Easy, the Zealot with Sword, on Legendary, either the Zealot with the Sword, or the Zealot with the Plasma Rifle.

In Halo 1 I found the Gold Zealots with Energy swords were most difficult.

Though in Halo 2 I found my butt running for cover whenever a Hunter showed up.

there is not point in saying hey i got a 40- HIGH RANK MEANS NOTHING, it means you either bridged host or cheated...and the skillfull player like myself have 27s cause of cheating.

Gamertag: StlcKs <-- i is an "L"

The Rocket Flood and the Zealot Elite with a Plasma Rifle are the most difficult.

The Elite is hard because his shield is huge, and you can't get close to him. The Rocket Flood are hard because, well, they're Rocket Flood, what is there to explain?

The Zealot Elite with a sword is quite easy because he must run straight at you. All you have to do is light him up with a Plasma Rifle, Sniper Rifle, Assault Rifle, Rocket Launcher, Pistol, Needler, and basically any other weapon in the game.

  • 10.20.2006 5:33 PM PDT

Wanna know what's funny? Rocket flood don't shoot at Covenant or Sentinels very often but shoot at you every 2 seconds. Weird, huh? And sorry to those who wanted to choose something else. I ran outta time and forgot about a few things. Just pretend there's an "Other" option and explain in your post. But a lot of these enemies are dumb. An Elite Zealot with Plasma Rifle, for instance, runs through a mob of flood while shooting at me , for some strange reason. And got mobbed down in the process. But great opinions, keep 'em coming!

Definately a Zelot with plasma rifle because with a Zelot and his sword, you atleast can run away for a brief time and shoot at him while backing away. But with plasma rifle, if you dont hide or finish him off fast, you dead!

Booby trapped corpses suck like none other (requires a mod).. unless it's me setting the trap.

Bungie wise I'd have to say elite p'fhor troopers.. followed very closely by elite hunters.

Halo wise I don't know since 99% of the tons of hours I've put into halo one and the few into that have been put into halo 2 have been solely multiplayer games.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

The rocket flood suck because they are never alone. There is always a bunch of other targets standing around him to take the hits for him.

So he somtimes gets you first.

in halo ce, fuel rod grunts, cuz u kill them before they get a shot and when u walk over the bodies, the fuel rod guns blow up and kill u

  • 10.28.2006 9:52 AM PDT

I also forgot to include invisi-flood. They're only in the last level, in the armoury before you destroy the engine compartments. But you have to wait to get them. But why would you walk over a glowing green object on the ground? And sometimes, if you shoot a rocket-flood, it'll blow itself up or its comrades.

Yes, most definitly the Flood with Rocket Launchers!!

Several times on the level: The Library, i meet them and always die, even though i have completed it loads of times!
The same thing happens when i play the level: Two Betrayals, i move into the tunnel to the last Generator and meet a load of Covenant guys having battle with the Flood. A little beyond that are two Flood with Rocket Launchers and christ it is hard!!!

I was tied between the flood with the rocket launchers and the Golden Elites with energy swords, both are a pain in the ass.

I hate the spec ops elites and the zealots with plasma rifles.

Spec ops elites are basically the second to the strongest elites that have become grenade happy, and zealots with plasma rifles are incredilby strong, and for some reason, it seems their plasma bolts do double the damage.

I still don't get on why in halo CE that the regular elites as well as the veteran elites never use their grenades, yet they carry them.
