I have noticed something wile reading the aftermentioned books.
regarding what authors Eric S. Nylund and William Dietz
said about the grunts' homeworld,which were two totally different aspects...

Eric S. Nylund,Prologue,the Fall of Reach,first page,paragraph 5
"...replicated their frozen homeworld"

William Dietz,The Flood,Chapter two,page 60,paragraph 3,refering to Yayap's dream
"..through the swamps of his homeworld,past naturally occuring pillars of fire,to the marshy estuary where he grew up..."

so,your views,please.and perhaps you can shed some light on this topic for me to understand.

William C Dietz is a moron. And I hate his writing style.

Strange, hadn't noticed this myself. It's supposed to be frozen methane they're brething from their packs, to mimick their environment. I didn't like Dietz anyways, I'd rather play through that story, so I'll go with Nyland, heh.

Well, when it comes to literature, i'd bet he'd kick your ass at it, and thats reason enough to respect him.

Well it has a methane atmosphere right? (If I read everyone's posts correctly)

So a single rocket would turn the whole planet into a fireball, with little flaming grunts running around in horror...that would be a great cutscene.
