That wasn't in your original post, but in one of your replies I notice that you said "Halo 1 had lots of awesome ones really". I posted a short piece about watching long ago, but that piece could really do with expansion. I seem to've only focused on Marines versus covies there.

By the way, I also mentioned your thread in the closing remarks of my movie's written commentary.

I replied on this to cB557. My article gives my rough impression of how things go, but I haven't done any rigorous tallying to back that up with stats (and first I'd need to decide exactly what to tally). On Legendary I think the Grunts have the edge as long as the main Flood don't spawn close. On lower difficulties the Flood seem increasing favourites. I think part of the reason there is that they have more time to get close.

Yeah, I know the bit you mean. It's quite novel to see an Elite trying to defend in a Shade.
