Today I loaded up my old Heretic AI collection game save and killed off all the Elites leaving only the Heretic Grunts...

I then turned on Catch skull...

Whether on foot,
or as anti-air defense,
they will dominate.
And all will know heresy...

:3

These are only a small glimpse of what Heretic Grunts really are. When I turn on additional skulls, that is when they shall show their true potential!!

Hey.

Even though that was ridiculously obnoxious, I kind of laughed at the idea of a thousand grunts in an army.

Great footage SG. Gotta love the little Grunty's, they are grenade throwing machines.

Turn on Sputnik and GBD. That way when a whole lineup of them are tossing a nade and you headshoot one they spray the nades as they go off.

Great flicks pal.

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Haha that's good stuff. I'm not very familiar with the campaign and skulls, so my question is how are you taking such little damage?

Thanks! Other Grunts (H3, Reach) throw them at a snail's pace compared to these guys.

I did turn on Sputnik while recording these but I didn't have GBD in mind. I'll give that a try!

Mythic skull. It's how I got the Heretic Grunts there intact. It has the unfortunate side effect of making Heretic Elites resistant to nearly everything but without it, the Grunts would have all died. In fact, some of them are damaged enough to be killed by 1 or 2 shots.

What was unpleasant?

There could have been more Heretic Grunts but they interfered with my setup (non-stop gun fire forces me to seek cover and any Grunt can DELETE supply cases if the objects are blocking doorways) and they are territorial (they don't leave the room with the other Grunts so they can be problematic in determining if there were any stragglers).

It is possible to get around 30 Grunts in CE and H3 (on S117 and The Storm) but I don't think an army of them is possible.

An army of Elites is possible in H2 but in H3, the highest you can get is 10 (on The Covenant, 7 Elites from the third tower, 3 Arbiters) unless you deload all vehicles (then there will be 2 additional Elites in a high place that you can bring down with the rocket launcher). In CE, the highest number of Elites that can gather in one area is around 25.

Haha! I always love the grunts, and especially in Halo 2, as they seem a lot cuter.

The third one is the best one imo. The first 2 show combat locations while the third one is simply death by Grunts. :3

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

Lol that was epic

There wasn't anything bad about it, but it's just a bunch of grunts shooting needlers and lobbing grenades. It's funny and cool, but that's pretty much it.

Yeah, I could have combated them myself or included Heretic Elites (best done with Black Eye, Sputnik, Catch, Grunt Birthday, Angry) or had my Elites fight them but this was just to show Grunts.

If you're looking for something, how's this? I don't enjoy it as much.
