I was playing AotCR (quickly, using Heroic) and I came to the large room with many sleeping Grunts and 2 Patrolling Elites. This room is quite near the end of the level and is where many people mention a constantly falling Grunt. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, read the white writing below:

[color=white] There is a sleeping Grunt in a large room near the end of AotCR. If you punch it in a certain way you can make it appear like its falling. This effect is neverending. [/color]

Well I came to that area, I meleed (and killed) one Elite that had his back to me, but the other was walking quite nearby and alerted the others. I thought "F**k it! I'll just carry on". Having the Rocket Launcher out I thought I'd deal out some explosive carnage to the surrounding Grunts. I saw that one Grunt (the one with the continuos falling ability) and I fired a Rocket, square at his face. It hit, dead on, but he still lived!

Has this happened to anyone else?

I recently did something similar to 'Rocket to the Face! But Still Standing!'.
It was 'Plasma Grenade to the Chest! But Didn't Stick!'

Basically I was playing AotCR (in Heroic) and I came to one of the long corridors (There's 2 in the level, 1 with invisible Elites, one with Grunts and Jackals). It was the one with the Grunts and Jackals.

I came round the corner and a Grunt was staring me in the face. I thought I'd use the tactic of "Stick to one Grunts, he runs off and kills his allies".

I threw a grenade and as in Heroic, the Grunts are that little more aware and try to jump out of the way of Grenades at any possible moment. But instead of him standing there, or jumping clean out of the way, he jumped a little late. The grenade hit him and fell to the floor and the Grunt dived out of the way. No-one got harmed!

So far, this has happened to me [color=white] TWICE [/color]
