: No. No matter how many times I see this, I don't think the person saying it
: has thought things through.

: The formula of the Covenant is getting stale, but the individual ingredients
: still have potential. In any case, the only alternative I see is throwing
: the lot out and buying a box of Promethean Mix from Wal-mart. Trust me,
: that's something you don't want to make a meal out of.
Well I was talking about removing the Prometheans (obviously, that's not gonna happen so I hope they revamp them instead of copying and pasting). I don't mind if the Covies stick around for another title.

: A redesign wouldn't hurt either.
Agreed.

: Same could be said for the Covenant. I couldn't tell the difference between
: one rank and the next, though I get the inkling that the yellow ones were
: slightly easier to gun down.
Remember when everything looked the same, but they could vary in appearance? The Elites in Halo CE had an alternate helmet, the Grunts in CE had a curlback shaped methane tank, and the Jackals in CE could be seen wearing helmets.

: Ah, just like the Rocket Flood of old.
: Only, more annoying.
What I liked about them in CE was that they could blow themselves up and the rockets weren't so fast that they couldn't be dodged. In Halo 4, it's rare for friendly fire/self-destruct and the incineration rounds are nigh impossible to avoid.

: Hah! What you know as "Catch", I knew as "Easy mode".
: When the Catch skull is on, the Knights spam grenades, a thoroughly
: ineffective attack with a long throw animation that leaves them exposed.
Indeed. It'd be nice if the grenade throwing was restricted to a specific Elite rank again, because every Elite throwing a grenade just makes them less distinct from each other IMO.

: While you are correct in that they're the only ones that aren't completely
: broken, they're still boring to fight, and don't particularly strike me as
: 'Forerunner'.
While it can be a grind, it's a lot better than fighting Drones.
