Sangheili vs Jiralhanae

Hm, going by my awesome experience as a Spartan in most of these battles, I'm going to go with the Elites, or Sangheili, if you will. I always had more trouble taking them out, and I feel Brutes are a lot sloppier and slower in combat.

• Elites are the best of the best in the Covenant Military. When they left everything fell apart.
  
• Elites are the ONLY species to earn the respect of the Hunters. 
• Faster, Smarter, more Agile, and better with weapons than the Brutes
• When an Elite goes berserk he becomes a killing machine, when a Brute goes berserk he gets sloppy and doesn't really kill anyone
  
• Energy Sword > Gravity Hammer

Brutes could win.  It took how many elites to take out Tarturus?  Lets not knock the Brutes her peeps

True.

True. Tartarus was also present in Contact Harvest, and he was very tough. "

True. Tartarus was also present in Contact Harvest, and he was very tough. "

But he was the only Brute it took more than one Elite to kill "

Indeed. "

I think a Brute can take out an elite.  Elites seemed to rely to heavily on grunts in the Halo games.  literally grunts would rush in and elites would stay back, but Brutes themselves would rush in "

e" @Mikepool: I think it says something when the humans are losing the war when the elites are the commanders of the battlefield, but when they switch sides to back the humans and the Brutes take control of the vast, more advanced army, the human side wins.The only things Brutes seem to have over elites is that they can climb ladders :P "

They would still have engineers

" @Mikepool: So they have other forces to command besides their species? "

" @Mikepool: Ah I was under the impression it was just Brutes and Elites in this battle. "

" @Mikepool said:

" In reality a lot of grunts and hunters sided with the Elites. There were just none in the game so it wouldn't get confusing "

Didn't many Jackals and the Drones also side with the Elites? Apparently, the Skirmishers couldn't side with anyone since they supposedly went extinct after the Halo Reach events.  "

I feel like making a new thread would have worked better than a bump, since the OP has almost nothing useful.

On topic: Brutes in First Strike seemed pretty OP, and I think a Brute has a fairly clear stats advantage. Individual skill, equipment, and ability changes matters, but it's not like this is a fight with specific characters like Tartarus and Atriox versus Thel and R'tas
