Subject: Back in the early days, what unofficial names did you give enemies?

The way I see it, we both lost anyway.

When Halo:CE first came out, I was in 5th grade. I wasn't knowledgable about the official names for the characters. I never bothered reading the manual either. So, I had different names for the enemies to identify them with. Here they are:

Hunters: Spike-backs
Elites: Crocs(for some reason, I thought they looked like Crocadiles that were standing.
Grunts: Monkeys(Their voices and genereal color scheme reminded me of the flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz)
Jackals: "Shielded Guys!!!"
Sentinels: Lazer Drones
Flood Types:
Human Combat forms and Elite combat forms: Zombies
Infection Forms: Sploders
Carrier Forms: "Marshmellow dudes!"





Tell us yours if you have them.

Pretty much the same as in the manual. The funniest thing was my girlfriend at the time who referred to 'Shades' as 'Turnips'. She was convinced that they were just big, purple, less than dangerous vegetables.

Forgot one. I always called commander elites 'Goldilocks'

I'm stubborn as long as I'm not wrong. Prove me wrong and you'll get an apology.

Very first time playing and not knowing their names were:

Hunters: Shield Guys
Elites: (friend told me after I asked) Elites
Grunt: Little Guys
Jackals: Birds
Sentinels: Robot things
Flood Types:
Human Combat forms and Elite combat forms: Zombie Alien Things!
Infection Forms: Popcorns/Poppers
Carrier Forms: Big poppers

Now I either refer to them by their names (Elites, Hunters, etc.) or their real names (Sangheili, Lekgolo, etc....).

RIP Halo 2

The only things I called by different names were the infection flood, and the carrier flood. I just called the infection forms "heads", and the carrier forms "fat heads."

I blame stosh.


Proud tester of the Halo 3 beta.

The Elites were, ironically, the "Hunters"

The Grunts were the "Fants" (I dunno, really.)

The Hunters were the "Metalgloves" (guess why...)

The Jackals were the "Ugly birds"...

The Flood Infection forms were the "Onions"

Carrier forms "Potatoes"

Combat forms "Zombies"

Memories ^^

Oh, and the Sentinels were just "the robots"
