i just played Halo after like a year, and i was playing on heroic, and using mostly the AR.
so i was shoooting grunts, and they are impossibly resistant to armor peircing bullets!!!
ok first of all, they dont always flinch when you shoot them.
in Halo 2 they are WAY MORE inclined to run away...
i shot one with TEN BULLETS from the AR before it died!
EVERY grunt throws grenades in Halo, constantly! (in Halo 2 they throw grenades far less often)


ne1 else notice all this malarkey?

its ridiculous!!!

Sooooo....how are they godly? I think I'm missing your point. Sure they throw grenades more in Halo and they take a few shots to kill on heroic difficulty but that seems normal. It isn't supposed to be easy. I've never had any real trouble taking down a Grunt like I have a few Elites. Even in normal there are some Elites that give me trouble. No Grunts though, they're easy.

Yes, it's not so much that they are difficult, but that they take such a huge amount of bullets to drop relative to their size, especially with the AR. They also tend to gather together so it take loads of ammo.

Best way is to head shot them with the nifty pistol , or grenades if theres loads in a small space, or failing that they don't last too long against a good old pistol whip!

the AR is weak it makes up for that with rapid-fire.

Either try getting headshots or melee them.

It's not so much that the AR is weak, because it's not really, it's just not very accurate. So even though you may waste a half a clip shooting at them only about a third of those rounds will hit unless you use short rapid bursts, or even single round bursts like the flood who carry the assault rifles, it seems to work for them.

you must've aimed pretty bad, because grunts are weak. AND I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THEYRE NOT GODLY. making your own wierd theories only proves how bad in halo you really are.

Use your pistol and headshot them. It's only one shot, even on Legendary.
