Hornet

In Halo 3, a UNSC aerial vehicle, also known as the AV-Attack VTOL. It can fly in any direction or hover, and it is equipped with two machine guns and two tracking missile launchers. Two passengers can sit on the side and offer additional fire or simply be transported. It is not as fast as the Covenant equivalent, the Banshee, but it is more maneuverable, more durable, and deadlier. A Plasma Pistol overcharged shot will cause the Hornet to fall to the ground.

Phantom

Type-52 Troop Carrier

The Phantom is the primary dropship used by the Covenant in Halo 2 and Halo 3. In Halo 2, troops are deployed through a gravity lift, and three plasma cannons defend the troops as they are being dropped. In Halo 3, troops primarily exit through side doors in a manner similar to the Spirit dropship of Halo: Combat Evolved. But it still looks roughly the same, and it still has the gravity lift. It is defended by one large plasma cannon and two plasma turrets.
UNSC Marine: EYES UP! PHANTOM INBOUND!

Another Marine: Roger that, got Grunts, Jackals, and an Elite.

Jiralhanae

Commonly known as Brutes, these enemies in Halo 3 (although a prototype version appears in Halo 2) are tough and specialize in force-to-kill. They often lead packs of Unggoy. They wear Power Armor, which regenerates similarly to an Energy Shield but falls off when depleted. Death of pack-mates and loss of Power Armor often cause them to go berserk; they ignore their weapons and try to melee their enemies to death.

Some weapons held by Brutes:
Spiker
Mauler
Gravity Hammer
Brute Shot
Spike Grenade

Some vehicles they drive:
Phantom
Chopper
Wraith
Prowler

Some quotes:
"Damn you, Demon!"
"Save some for me!"
"For you, this was made!"
"Use your grenades!"
"Brutes! The faster you can kill those Brutes, the better." -Cortana on the level Gravemind, referring to Master Chief's first rough-in with Jiralhanae

"What, more Brutes?" "Worse." -The Arbiter, who was tired of fighting Brutes, then Master Chief replied because he knew that the ship held Flood.
