i found out a few weakness's with several of the covenant in Halo, and a technique to deal with hunters that always works,

with elites, simple shoot them with the plasma pistol to knock out their shield, or the needler is very effective against the elites and it blows up nearby grunts.

Hunters, oooh big scary grunting thing with a metal arm charging at you, easy (if you have the pistol) dodge to the hunters right, once it's finished swinging that arm around and it's back is exposed, shoot the orange bit with the pistol, easy i can take out 4 hunters with 4 pistol shots and no waste of breath.

grunts, no real strength any way so i'll just continue, mind, make sure there are never more than 3 around you, scene gets nasty,

jackals, in my book are the toughest, that shield does all the work for em, so the only weakness is to get behind them or shoot into the notches in the sides of the shield, if anoyone has found an easy weak spot, please do tell me.

brute, i have no idea what the brute is so i'll just shut up now and do some research

charge up shot either kills the jackel or takes its shield away. plasma rifle also knocks its shield around a bit

Ya dude, you are about 3 years late on this news. Now if you knew what was gonna on, Bungie has just finished an even better game called "Halo 2". You should read up on it.

both you guys need to cut it out. not everyone has been surfing b.net or playing halo for 3 years. people arrive at different times.

i felt it was a nicely constructed post which could have opened some nice conversation of ways we have found to deal with enemies.

like i for one would handle jackals with a grenade making them scatter. then taking my assault rifle or pistol to clean them out while they are scattering.
