Lolwut?


You should try turning on the IWHBYD skull once in a while.

its yapflip and flipyap


Since you obviously haven't heard this one...
"You killed Poon-Flip. Flippiest poon I ever knew"

Seriously? That's hilarious! Is that a Legendary+IWHBYD only quote? I play with IWHBYD sometimes and I've never heard that before. I thought you were just inventing Grunt names or butchering the Flipyap one. I lol'd at the resemblance to "poontang" in the name.

dude im done with you. your just -blam!- retarded apparently. you'd think the example of the brutes taking place of the grunts would be a fine example. but no, your a hardheaded.......nit *snicker*

you just need to realize that your wrong and there won't be elites, they wouldnt add stuff this late and that picture shows no elite heads to show we'll be fighting them. elites will be in no way inside off halo 3: odst. so wait.....if canon doesnt follow firfight (by your reasoning) how come i can't be a spartan? realized your wrong now?

Okay first, you are a moron, second I never said elites are in firefight, and third you don't play as a spartan in firefight because IT IS F-ING HALO 3 ODST, besides, firefight is confirmed to be not canon, and maybe YOU should read the books.

Also "they wouldnt add stuff this late and that picture shows no elite heads" more idiotic comments, first off if elites are in they probably where in for a long time, and also tha picture is from a demo build, not the complete game, you realize they can remove stuff from the game for a demo build.
Educate yourself, it will help you not get hit by a car.

Drone Major and Drone Minor

still not confirmed that that is what the two heads are, the only difference between the Minor and Major were the weapon they had. Yet grunts had differences in their armour color and weapons, but yet they are all grouped together.

Awesome! Can't wait to see what it is!

Sorry, I can't hear them over the sounds of Modern Warfare 3 on my Turtle Beaches.

Well it probably won't be just another color or rank, because all Grunts are grouped in one column. I'm thinking maybe they are kind of Drone captain or other caste of Drones. Perhaps they will weild needlers instead of just a few Drones with needlers. Anyone think a Drone with a Plasma Rifle is possible?


Yes, it is possible.

There's a video where a Drone is firing a weapon that fires red rounds. It can be seen at 8:14 of the video and at 8:25, the player walks over a dead Drone and it says "Hold RB to pick up Plasma Rifle."

It appears Drones will be using the Brute Plasma Rifle, which may be the new Drone type?

Two empty slots in that image........ My guess would be a Gold Hunter for one. What could fill the other slot? Jackal Sniper??

No idea what on Earth a Gold Hunter would be. Jackal Sniper is right next to the regular Jackal and the Grunt.

Well, Brute Stalker and War Chieftain aren't there, so those two might fill the missing slots.

Some think Elite ranks may fill those slots, as there was a giant thread about Elites being confirmed for ODST but I won't believe so. But, they might be Elites in those slots as Bungie originally said no Elites but that might change.

I believe Bungie said no Lockout and Midship remake for Halo 3 but those appeared. Bungie changes their mind too much.

Either Brute Stalker, War Chieftain, or Elites.

Did that Drone have shields? I don't see how it would, but it lit up when he shot it, like shields do.

Gigitty Gigitty Goo!

Yeah new drone rank or class. But I cant figure out what is to the right of the brute chief

Two spaces on the end...Elites and Flood?

Possibly.

There are already two types of Drones in Halo 3. Next time look up your campaign stats.

Yeah, there are also about 4 types of grunts, but yet they are all grouped together here, and each grunt type has more of a difference than the Drone types in Halo 3, so the second one here is probably something new

Two types of Jackals as well.


Yes the snipers and the ones with sheilds, unless they deside to go Halo Wars and make a Jakle that can carry a beam rifle and use a sheild, that would blow

There were two types of Drones in Halo 3 as well. That was rank wise. They're only showing one Grunt head there though.

and what would they be


Major and minor.
You should check the campaign stats pages sometime.

Oh, and the reason only one grunt is shown probably has something to do with the fact that there are 4 flavors of yapyaps and poonflips making it rather impractical to list them all along with every other covenant type, especially with so little separating the different grunt classes

Orrrrr... MAYBE IT'S A SUICIDE DRONE! Awesome!

  • 07.27.2009 3:56 PM PDT

Would you dance for it?

Sweet.

New enemies make me happy.

Golden Hunter?

I thought Halo 3 only had 1 type.

I remember Drones were originally supposed to have Snipers. What if...

technically halo 3 has 2, the only difference is the weapon they hold
It's not only the weapons they hold, they're more skilled in combat too.

the only difference between the drones were weapons, I think these are different

The differences in Halo ODST will be that........
One can teleport and the other not.

What's interesting is that the faces of the Covenant species reminds of the little face pictures on Halo 3 action figure packaging.

One could easily scan the little face from any Elite Combat figure and photoshop it into the picture given.

  • 07.27.2009 4:31 PM PDT

Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

I noticed this also. Maybe there's a difference between the ones that carry needles and plasma pistols.

Infact, as far as I know, drones didn't carry Needles in Halo 3.
