Subject: VERY. BAD. THING.

>>ALERT<<

Class 1337 "noob sauce" inbound; Troll units cleared to engage.

I remember when Grunts were actually cute. Then they gave 'em red eyes in Halo 3, and in Reach... God, they actually scare me now.

I also remember when they didn't go kamikaze on you at random unexpected time - seriously, I can't even begin to tell you how many times I fell victim to a suicide Grunt.

If you didn't Play Halo: CE or Halo 2 MP, your opinion about Halo means nada.

CE + H2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> H3+Reach+H4

if grunts scare you, you need to seek professional help ASAP

Grunts may be menacing, but they're only scary when they:
1. throw grenades like crazy
2. are maskless
3. their dead body flies at you like this rather than that stealthy maneuver they use in Halo: Reach
4. start pounding their fists into the ground

When you see that, that's a sign of bad luck. If they're looking at your direction while they do that, you're better off jumping off a cliff.

5. do Grunty little jumps. Did you know there's a fun easter egg involving jumping Grunts you can see on PoA (Halo 1 level)?

6. This

Btw, those red eyes mean that they're being mind controlled/pure evil incarnate.

Black eyes means they're possessed by gruntiness. Boy do I miss the Halo 1 Grunts. :'(

And white eyes means they're watching horror movies via Covey technology.

I agree with OP, the grunts were really cute and funny in Halo 1 and 2. In Halo 3 and Reach they turned into Satan Spawn

Mind bark is the ability to think before acting, foresee issues, and sway others. Like the bark of both trees and dogs, your mind becomes vivid and more callus. Thus, we use "mind bark."

Yeah, grunts are not very consistent throughout the series. I agree that they were the best in two.

That and make it so that Grunts panic at the sight of the BR.

I did it the other day (on Halo 2 Vista) on the M6C. The Grunts started panicking when I switched to it. Bungie should have put in a skull that induces panic in Grunts whenever they see a headshot weapon.

/ The M6C Rocked. Using it as a sidearm only really seemed to work out far me.

i am literally obsessed with the m6c pistol, for me it was the most fun pistol to use in the whole series, it also had a better design then the other pistols as well.

Godly pistol makes Grunts panic.

Unfortunately, it doesn't affect all Grunts at once. =(

I basically just made the AI scariness the same as the Energy Sword's AI scariness. Maybe I'm changing the wrong value...

Anyways, the red dot seen when zoomed in on an enemy is just part of the crosshair (all headshot weapons have it). But it would be cool if they made a skull that took away the reticle for headshot weapons but left the red dot sight. Maybe even added a red targeting laser like the Spartan Laser's.

Never knew there was so much modding out there... Wish I could join in, but can barely operate a Mac. Keep in mind, Cor, you're a Spartan. Nothing to fear. I do agree with OP that the H-2 Grunts were "cute." Little round heads and a "Please don't kill me" element separates them from the CE and 3 Grunt. CE Grunts were nasty little cretins. Much closer to 3 and Reach than 2.

There isn't, unfortunately. The modding community for H2 Vista is dead. I'm just someone who uses a public modding program to make simple mods.

I disagree about CE Grunts. They were slow when they panicked (whereas 3 Grunts run too erratically), weren't grenade spammming psychos, had reasonable health, and my personal favorites: "They're everywhere!" and "Run away!", all in their CE voice.

But I do agree that 2 Grunts were the best depiction of Grunts. But I think the Thirsty Grunt = Cowardly Grunt.

I'd never use it. I want the grunts dead, not running away.

He is attempting to get across to the OP that his title is against the rules, as it does state that any title with all caps is to be under the category of spam, I believe it was.

However, what this user failed to recognize was that in this particular case, the all caps signifies a cannon element of Halo 2. The grunts yell out "VERY BAD THING" quite frequently.

Although he is quite correct, this is a rare case where the CAPS LOCK is made the title not to grab someone's attention, which is mainly why Bungie frowns upon it. Instead, this title, I believe, was designed by the OP to underline a grunt like aphorism to remind those who venture to our realm that is the Halo 2 forum about the topic.

Post Scriptum

I would normally agree with the user mentioning this, just to let you guys know. You may not have meant to grab our attention solely by the title, but that may be a side effect of your well being. Beware of the forum cop. They lurk, and grab you by your ankles, hang you by your ears, and before you can say wiener schnitzel, they have already unleashed ninjas on you.

I also wanted to express something supplemental to that. The grunts do seem to be cute in comparison to the newer titles, but they can be deadly in groups within any of the games. Especially on Halo 2 Legendary...

i could of sworn a grunt killed 3 marines with a PP once in outskirts, i would have helped them but unfortunately i had to take cover and wait for my shields to recharge (million times over again) while the elite was kicking my a55!
