You forgot something, the Brutes, Jackals, and Drones are the enemies that players don't like. Elites, Hunters, and Grunts are fan favoroutes.

Yes. The Elites, hunters and grunts would mop the floor with the brutes and their cronies. Why? think of this. 1. The jackals are useless against hunters because a hunters gun can clearly wipe out 10 jackals in 1 go. 2. Hunters are also effective against brutes, with powerful melee combos and the almighty fuel rod cannon. 3. The elites are extremely skilled in aiming and will easily wipe out those annoying drones. 4. The grunts, well.....err....they will..kinda shoot accurately at the drones and brutes. 5. The elites will be effective in mopping up remaing brutes left by the hunters.

The Jackals and Drones were probably forced to join the Brutes because they're both such weak races. As for Grunts and Hunters joining the Elites, the Grunts hate the Jackals, enough siad there, the Hunters probably have known Elites longer, so they've joined along. Personally I think the Elites, Hunters, and Grunts would kick the Brutes, Jackals, and Drones' asses.

Drones have never talked in the game. they might not even be sentient. if they aren't then they would follow the prophets.

The Humans and Grunts are with the Elites because........... Well the Humans are with the Elites cause the Humans already know what happens if Halo is activated And when the Abitor and Elites and Hunters came in when the Brutes were about too kill the Marines Abitor saved them and Johnson made a deal With the Abitor and became Allies The Grunts are with the Elites Cause they Always are, almost every Grunt i see, there is an Elite with it, except for when your playing as the Abitor cause you the Elite the Grunts are with The Jackles and Drones have Joined the Brutes cause the Jackles are Pricks and think the Brutes are better and they wanted too be part of the *ahem* "Great Journey" The Drones are pretty much the same reason

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Tabak0 I know why the Elites are fighting the Brutes, but why are the Hunters and Grunts with the Elites? And why the Jackals and Drones with the Brutes?[/quote][*]The Jackels and the Grunts also hate eachother, so if there is a split of the Covenent, they won't be on the same side. The Grunts most likely went with the Elites because the have no attachment to the Prophets, while the Elites have been with the Grunt's on the front lines. [*]The Hunters most likely joined the Elites because both are proud warriors, and they would rather be associated with warriors than politicians. [*]As for the Drones, who knows what the hell is going through their mind(s).
