We all know the covies view grunts has cannon fodder. There must be millions of the guys. We also know the covies aren't used to fighting cannon fodder. Humans don't send wave after wave of troops to die. It's not our style. Look at the covies on a small scale. Lets say they send 50 battilons of troops to a planet to take over or set up a base. 20 battilons are your elites, jackals, hunters and so forth. The rest are all grunts. 30 battilons. They revolt and attack the 20 battilons. We all know the grunts will be defeated but they will cause some serious damage, dang near annihaltion of the twenty battilons of covies. Imgaine if the grunts had humans with them along with human planning. They could really be some kickass cannon fodder then. The tactics used would be alot better than charging in a straight line, plus they would have human support. Thoughts?

Grunts are too scared of humans why do you think they run when one bullet goes off/with the exception of Yayap. so they would run from us plus they are always with jackals or elites.

They are scared of jackals and elites too. What got me thinking about this was an idiot post claiming that they knew someone at bungie they said grunts revolted. That was a crap post and i nor anyone else belived him, but they would make decent allies. If we could get them to fight on our side.

That might be kind of funny. The only problem, for me, would be the fact that I'm so used to blowing their brains out. If they became our allies, I'd end up killing half of them. They would be good allies, and maybe they could teach humans how to recharge the battery in plasma weapons. Anyway, I doubt that they'd ever come to our side anyway.

Grunts are scared of us because everytime they see us we are shooting at them they are not neccasrilly scared just being smart hell if a spartan came after me I would run to, would'nt you? They don't seem to be scared of the marines as bad as they are of MC but hell he has taken out so many elites and hunters how can you blame them.

I think they would be a good allie Besides that they are huh well cute for a lack of better words.

Very rarely do Grunts run away(In the real war that is, aka Legendary mode). They are not scared of us unless they are dying fast. Also Sketchfactor, a Bungie employee, shot down the idea of Grunts becoming allies with us.

HA! Gimme a break.
