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.

P.S. I love the weekly updates, this was the best one in a long while!

What do u think it's gonna be?
They need something to bridge the gap between jackals/grunts and brute so like midget elites , or .... that drinol thing.

A simple strategic move. It wouldn't be very affective with grunts though! Unless there was alot, of course.

this was one of the best weekly updates in a while

  • 06.30.2006 8:28 PM PDT

Yes! The enemy is now using tactics!!!! They're using strategy like in the books! The enemy is going to be much tougher this time around!

If you watch the H2 special edition dvd where bungie shows the enemies that were not used there is that gargantuan creature, whos name escapes me. Could this new enemy possible be a relative of that forgotten beast.

Dude, almost everything is bigger than a Grunt. Frankie probably just said that so he could see how many people make topics on it. (guessing some of the Bungie Staff may make a bet on how many opened within 24 hours).

I'd say it is either a Jackal, Elite, Brute, Hunter, any-type-of-flood-besides-infection-form, etc.

the point is, frankie wouldnt just not tell us who the enemy was unless it was an enemy that we havent seen before. notice how he said a group of jerks mostly containing grunts? that suggests that there may be another race we havent seen before, aside from the larger-than-grunt one.

i'd place my bets on it being a drinol.
