Has anyone else noticed this? On Keyes, when you're making your way up through the ship, you reach the 3rd floor of the launch bay. Directly to your right from out of the door, is where you have to go (another door w/ several Flood there). At that part, a dropship comes in. Some Black-Clad Elites and some Fuel Rod Grunts get dropped off, and you can hear the Grunts howling some kind of war-cry...then they fire their Fuel Rods.

Has anyone else noticed this? Why do those Grunts howl?

Yes, I've noticed this. Apparently, it's a rare sound that you only hear if the Grunts are kicking ass and not running away. Level 9 is not the only place I've heard it, for example once on level 6 I heard a Grunt make the war-cry as he jumped down from a balcony and killed about 4 Flood warriors :). Maybe the Grunts on level 9 are yelling because they have fuel rod guns and they finally have a chance to kick ass? Either way, I snipe them with my pistol before I even get down there.

It's not a warcry. It's the sound a grunt makes when falling from a great height. They don't fire their fuel rod cannons, the cannons self destruct after their deaths.
