Hello,
I was reading through the update when I noticed the section about the Grunts cornering Frankie when he was playing the campaign
Today, I swear I saw some Grunts do a classic pincer-movement to trap me in a narrow canyon. I was battling um, something bigger than a Grunt, and suddenly, I'm being peppered by a second group of jerks, mostly Grunts, who'd been sent in around my flanks to take me out. Grunts are still grunts though, and once I showed some serious opposition, a couple of them panicked and fled, but they nearly had me and it was quite a shock.
It appears that maybe there isnt an alliance in Halo 3 like there was at the end of Halo 2.

Maybe, but at what point was it said the MC or Arbiter was being controlled? For all we know it could be a new playable character in which the grunts are enemies. Are the grunts allies? From whose perspective?

And before anyone says the "somthing bigger than a grunt", that DOES NOT MEAN THERE IS A NEW SPECIES (although it may do), just that there are enemies bigger than grunts.

Bah..signatures are for the weak.........

Or, the Covenant forces already at Earth hadn't known that there was an alliance yet.

In the beginning the entire Covenant are probably the Chief's enemies. Eventually, they may ally with us, but it won't start like that.

I dont know exactly what to call it, but it has something to do with spaggetti, duct tape and razor blades...

Bigger than a grunt could potentially be anything. What creature was there in the trailer?

  • 06.30.2006 5:44 PM PDT

well, MC could be battling grunts, that's all.

But when in that passage is the MC mentioned? Whats to say a different character isn't being controlled?

@Wanderer
At the end of Halo 2 you can clearly see that the Grunts are allied with the humans because you play with them against the rest of the convenant. i think you are the one that needs to play it again.....

Because you're on the Bungie.net forums!

ah. good point. *turns to play half-life 2*

Don’t get mad if I flame you because you cannot spell, or because my three year old has better grammar and etiquette than you.

There still could be a small alliance, but really think about it, its going to take the whole covenant forces a while to get wind of what has happened, you have to realise they are still fighting eachother.

It is going to take a lot to convince someone there whole life and religon is a lie and to pass it on to the rest, its going to be a civil war still.

Personally I don't think he would go the effort of saying something bigger than a grunt, if it wasn't something we weren't supposed to know yet.

The elites might have been wiped out, but the ones with the arbiter.

so the grunts & hunters would have surrended to the rest of the covenant
the hunters would have surrended since they probly lack in numbers and the grunts would have since they're grunts

hmmmmmmm no alliance

i suspected this all along. remember with all the things going on in HC there just isnt enough time to say "ok youre on my side and these guys are on that side"

so bigger than a grunt? elite maybe? seeing as how alliance havent been drawn, this could be it. or a brute. i guess the elites are too busy being annihilated. so there are still a bunch of brutes left to battle for the prophets




and then tarters cried for a second before leaving himn to die

(dont ask about that quote, LoL)
