Halo: Reach Discussion

^This. I liked Halo 2, where there were both. I felt it mixed up the combat- they do have different types and classes of enemies, but elites/brutes are always the primary enemy, and having to take into account what type of leadership a certain encounter has adds, in my mind, a nice level of depth to the strategy.

Drones...I got a feeling won't be there...maybe. Fucking buggers.

Brutes have been confirmed (IIRC) as to not be in this fight. Which makes me wonder...will we still have gravity hammers and Grifball :saddowns:?

Should but then again, Elites in ODST should have been a no brainer but look what happened..
Also am i the only one who got tired off the whole "oh i shot it with plasma and the armour somehow disappeared" deal?

How so? It makes sense that the prophets would have sent down their more trustworthy troops to search for the portal. Plus, they did mention the civil war.

Considering that ODST took place before the prothet of truth even went looking for the portal please explain to be how a entire city if not country infested with elites suddenly had only 4 dead elites and with brutes in charge of everything.
The ship that jumped was the same one shown in halo 2.
Also, i would consider the elites more trust worthy, the prothets didn't even have a decent reason to demote the elites untill regret died.

Oh right. I forgot there were Elites in the Halo 2 New Mombasa levels. :downs: The politics themselves are a little hazy- I have a feeling Truth had been meaning to get rid of the Elites for a while, but we have no way to be sure. So yeah- you definitely have a point, but I accept the way Bungie made ODST.

Well the Hunters didn't have a clash with another major covie subgroup, so that's why I say they should be a no brainer

'cause they have no brains :downs:

Hahaha. Splat.

o and dont forget that in halo 2 a few hunters helped the elites and went up against the brutes, jackals, and grunts

That's beside the point though... the point is that they're a core part of Halo's enemy set and, unlike the Elites, don't seem to have much of a shoe-in replacement (Brutes), except the "Drinol" that were cut from H2 - but I don't see Bungie pulling a new never-before-seen enemy out of their ass for the sole purpose of replacing Hunters.
