Let grunts Sleep!!!

I have had this happen to me a few times. But this morning I was playing the PoA and an Elite did a melee at me. I dodged it and he knocked out one of the Grunts next to me. Has that ever happened to you?

Yeah, its happened a few times. Its not necessarily Elites going bad because like you said, he tried to melee you and you dodged. He just missed and a Grunt was unforunate enough to be in the way of it.

The Hunters do the same thing. If you get two close enough they will try to melee you and hit eachother.

How about Covenant accidently firing at each other? I can't begin to count how many times I've witnessed that, all I can say is the funny ones that I remember.

Here's just a few:
* A Jackal had a charged Plasma Pistol shot. He let it go to point the other Covenant in my direction. His Plasma bolt hit a Elite standing next to him (actually, the Elite was charging towards me and by chance caught the shot). It power of it, took off his shields and knocked him a little to the right. It was unforunate for the Elite that I was on a bridge in AotCR, so he fell off and died!

* I was on Halo (2nd level) and was doing the Megabattle (a glitch that gets loads of Covenant in one place). I charged in with Sgt. Johnson in passenger and some marine in the Gunner. I was circling round, running over anything I could and allowing my buddies to take out anything in their sights. A Grunt threw a Plasma Grenade and it stuck to an Elite's head!

* I took out the shield of a Jackal with a charged Plasma shot. I continued with rapid fire to try and take him out, but the Needler of a nearby Grunt homed in on the defenseless Jackal and bet me to it!

* An Elite charged at me in a Ghost, I dodged him and looked back to stick a Plasma Grenade to the vehicle. On looking back, I managed to catch the Elite crush a clueless Jackal into a rock!

* When fighting a lone Hunter (I killed his partner), I dodged a melee and he caught a nearby Jackal, flinging him right across the room into a wall!

* When playing AotCR, I decided to let the Elites have the Banshees on the natural bridge. When fighting them, they swooped down to crush me into the floor, I dodged and a poor Grunt shimmied into my place....CRUNCH!

* When entering the chasm with the opening to the underground tunnels of AotCR in a Scorpion, the Wraith tank opened fire only for the huge shot to take out a Ghost that was hurtling towards me!

Anyone else got any funny friendly fire incidents?
