Favorite Enemy A.I.???

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

I’m just here to talk casual, no more vehement and polarizing debates on sprint (for now lol), so what is everyone’s favorite enemy A.I.?

Mine are the Brutes (Jiralhanae) from Halo 3 :slight_smile:

The Brutes had a great pack mentality and displayed it beautifully, especially in the second level of H3. I love how their armor breaks off, equivalent to the Sangheili loosing their shields, and when they go berserk its a joy. When they make those horrid comments about eating you and the goofy way they jet packed around, they were just so unique and actually quite challenging to fight!

Halo CE Flood.

Make a noise and you will get a messy stampede on your face.

I was disappointed when they didn’t behave like that in the other Halos. CE’s Flood really scared me.

3

Halo 2 brutes because they would go berzerk and throw you around. Also, Halo Reach elites because they were actually smart and agile. Hunters in ODST were pretty fun to face as well.

4

They’re all pretty generic to me. I guess I’ll go with the Grunts since they at least make me laugh.

This. I miss the way they would flail there arms in the air if you startled them. That’s what always terrified me! That combined with that dreaded music that would play during big flood battles… shivers …

EDIT: Halo Soundtrack - Flood theme - YouTube

This is the one… OH GOD.

Elites because wort wort wort. I actually think that they are cool enemies to fight. They also have an interesting culture.

7

In a way, I almost kinda want to say grunts because sometimes they made me feel bad just to sneak up on a sleeping 1 and kill it because they’re so weak and helpless. But then again mostly any AI were pretty good. Just makes me wish every game (and every disappointment for that mtter), we could play as any of them in Spartans vs Covenant/Promeatheans MP for Halo 5: Guardians, including Prometheans even if they have to apply sort of a Gears of War 3 Beast mode system to some or the lower end 1s, perfectly acceptable in my opinion; In all honestly I’m just getting so sick of always fighting Spartans vs Spartans; Spartans are supposed to fight the Covenant/Promethean thread, not each other. If they ever did this, they should apply an optional voice mask based on which you’re playing as.

i really really hope they bump the AI back up to par with how difficult they were in reach. especially the elites, man those guys would hunt u down compared to h4 where the covenant tend to sit around too much

The Hunters are a staple part of Halo. c:

10

Hunters are my favorite enemy AI. They are very fun to fight and outsmart. Especially on legendary the fights are intense. Flood were always fun to fight in Halo 3 they were weaker but seemed to come in larger numbers and swarmed you.

11

Halo Reach Hunters. Man, those things were brutal…

12

Halo CE or Halo 2 Flood. They were strong and terrifying to fight against sometimes.
Halo 3 flood was just… a bit boring for me.

13

My favorite had to be Halo: Reach’s elites. Those were pretty challenging, especially so because of their agility and speed.

14

It’s rare for me to say that I prefered something in Reach over other Halo games, but that game nailed covenant AI on the head. The progression of difficulty between classes was well designed, and each enemy had an increasing kill time depending on their tier/purpose.

Haha, nothing good ever came when that Soundtrack played.

I do not see how the Flood was anywhere close to being scary, but we all have different fears.

I’m with you on the Halo 3 Brutes. There was something about them I just really loved. Shooting off their armour and making them berserk also added a great dynamic that I’d love to see return.
