After looking at the new Grunt renders I must say the ones with the mask look so much more badass and more of a threat, as compared to their mask-less brothers.

Any have thoughts on this?

What kind of threat are you talking about Hikaru?

I don't know, I think the teeth make them look pretty ferocious.... It kinda makes it weird to think that they have such high voices.

Well a Grunt without his mask would suffocate, and would be less combat effective as it would die sooner than one that has a constant stream of methane being fed to it. That is of course if we are fighting them on a non-methane rich atmosphere. Pretty much the mask adds an extra layer of " I'm going to kill every last one of you human heretics. "

Also for some reason that gaping maw of the Grunt doesn't look as cool as the old Halo 1 concept sketch for the Grunt face.

I don't actually know why as to me this seems stupid idea but I agree with you. I prefer the Grunts with masks, I have always associated with them wearing them. Its not because its cooler or anything, its simply because of tradition and I prefer them that way.
Its kinda hard to truely explain.

Many people think that we will visit a methane-filled atmosphere planet (i.e. the covenant homeworld), because of this picture. If this isn't the case, I'm betting you can shoot off the Grunt's mask (part of the more "interactive" environment).

Which is what I am hoping for. After all, you can shoot off the Brutes' helmet, so why not a Grunt mask?

i'd like to see an Elite without his helmet, Zamamee removed his when injured so why not in the game?
