  1. Grunts: These low level Covenant soldiers aren't good for very much. Well, they're excellent for testing the stopping power of your weapons or calibrating your targeting system, but not much else. The key to taking down Grunts is, well, shooting them. Repeatedly. Or just once in the head. If there are a lot of them congregating in one place, take out the Elite that should be nearby. The Grunts will freak out and scatter, allowing you the chance to take them out at your leisure.

    Jackals: These guys are best recognized by their large energy shield, which protects their frail body from attack. While they are usually standing still when you come upon them, they can move fast if they have to. The best way to take out a Jackal is to either use a plasma weapon to destroy their shield before killing them, or use a high powered human weapon to knock them back, exposing their bodies for a clean follow-up shot. Melee attacks also work extremely well, especially if you fire at them while charging toward them. These guys can snipe, too, so beware!

    Drones: One of the new enemies in the game, these flying creatures are very fast, and usually travel in groups. You'll be able to hearing their telltale buzzing as they approach, so keep your ears open. They also have the ability to cling to walls and fire at you, but this is actually to your advantage, since it's easier to take them out when not moving. A few quick shots from any weapon will fell these guys, and you'll see them fall from the sky when they're dead.

    Elites: If you've heard heard their familiar "Wort! Wort! Wort!" call, you know who these guys are. The Elites are basically the equal of a Spartan, with the same powerful shielding and excellent weapon skill. They usually brandish Plasma Rifles, and on harder difficulties will hold two of them. The more powerful of the Elites (Black, White, and Gold) will frequently use active camo and plasma swords, so beware! Your best bet for taking out an Elite is to snipe them from afar or stick a plasma grenade to them.

    Hunters: Closer to a mobile tank than a traditional solider, the Hunters are gigantic creatures who move a lot faster than you'd initially think. They have a new weapon in Halo 2, which makes a distinctive sound before firing a green beam. Know that sound, because you'll want to jump when you hear it. Taking down a Hunter takes a very long time with traditional weapons, but you can take them out with something strong by aiming at the soft, brown, fleshy part between their armor plating. Sticky plasma grenades work very well, too, but your best bet is to circle around and blast their exposed backs.

    Brutes: One of the other new enemies in the game, these ape-like creatures are fast, strong, and smart. They all use very powerful weaponry (the Brute Shot and the Brute Plasma Rifle, which fires much faster than the standard one), but won't hesitate to charge you if they drop it. Your best chance to take the Brutes out is to hit them with their own Brute Shot, or hit 'em with a grenade.

    Ghost: This speedy Covenant vehicle has an added boost this time around, so you've got to be extra careful that you don't get splattered like a squirrel crossing a highway. One way to jack the Ghost is by backpedaling as it comes toward you, then quickly moving out of the way and jacking. A better trick, however, is to stand in front of an immovable object (wall, boulder, etc.), then jump as the Ghost boosts toward you. It should hit the object and stop, allowing you to get on and take over.

    Warthog: The Human jeep is back, this time with a new Gauss cannon. You probably won't need to jack one of these (except in multiplayer), but it's not too hard. Just sidestep as it goes by and start running after it. As soon as it slows down to turn, grab it, toss out the driver, then run him over!

    Banshee: These fantastic flying machines are back, with some brand new moves including barrel rolls and flips. You probably won't get many chances to jack one, but if one happens to fly low, go for it! The pilot can shake you off if you don't jack them, but it's worth the effort to see them fall to their death!

    Wraith: You can finally hop inside one of the powerful Covenant tanks this time around, but it's going to take some work! The Wraith can be jacked two ways: from the front, and from the back. The front jacking requires you to punch the hatch open using the melee attack (B button), after which you can either yank the driver out or drop a grenade in to fry him! The rear jacking allows you to punch through a plate, then blow up the engine, making it unusable. You're better off jacking the front so you can turn it against its makers!
