Hi,

this is weird and i was wondering if anyone could give me an explinaion on this.

This is what happened: i was playing on the level TB and when i got to the "final run" sector i killed every living thing as usual, then when i was looking for ammo un the battlefield i stumbled on a grunt that was still alive, but this grunt had a green armor and no weapons in hand...i saved the game and it's still in the memory of my xbox.

Can anyone give an explination??

I saw a couple of green grunts before. I can't think why he had no guns though. Probly just a bug. Or maybe alcohol was involved...

Interesting, so you say you've seen green grunts, could i know where (witch level, what sector).

And no, alcohol was not involved...i don't drink alcohol, or beer, or wine, or anything that disrupst your senses.

i just did the maw and killed, checked every grunt on the level...not a single one in green armor...

must be a bug in the game...

that happened to me as well, but my grunt was black, one of the one that wields the fuel rod cannons. It had no weapon and just stood there, turning to watch me as i went past it, maybe the one you saw was black, but only looked green in the light or something?

weird.ive seen black armored spec. ops grunts with fuel rod guns, but ive never seen a green one. i have seen a purple-armored one though. it was on the maw when you're driving the warthog to the longsword before halo blows up. It was standing up on a rafter in the first really big room with all the ramps and tunnels

no, it was green trust me, i compared with the black one's, it's really not the same...also, i asked my dad and my freind, they said the same thing...it's green armor.

well, nice try Sentient, but also...there are no veteran(black armored) covenant units before the mission Keyes, but as i already said, nice try, thanx for trying to resolve the green grunt mistery.

thanx for your time once aigain...(am i getting a bit repetitif)

its a black grunt,not green. it happens a shade gets flipped with a grunt inside. the grunt falls out with no weapon (sometimes) and there are NO purple grunts. its a silver one retard.

you have a point...I guess its an easter egg (like the silver grunt in the MAW)

black grunts are supposed to be there foos,they are elite soldiers of the covenant.but green grunts are a whole new ball game,and if it were unarmed I could check it out without resistance,hmm,pity I never saw one.

i think that the grunt falling out of the shade gun turret is the best explanation, smart thinking whoever thought that.

ive never seen a green grunt before but on my copy of halo, for some reason, an AR on the ground in the first armory you go through in The Maw is green. but if you turn on your flashlight it turns the original color. So maybe if you shined your flashlight on it, if you could find him again, and see if it turns him a known color? then again grunts and AR's are pretty different...

I bet I know what happned...In several dark places in the game (on my disc) walls and other objects look green/blue/purple but in the light (shine my flashliht on them) they look normal. on of the places is

In PoA right after the guy says "we've got to get the hell outta here" and he blows up and you jump over the pipe the walls looks wierd right there. but it didnt used to do that. just shine your light on it and I bet it will be red or orange. iv seen that grunt and I think it was red when I looked at it right.
