Frankie said he was fighting Grunts.


...GRUNTS!?


Now, if I recall, weren't Grunts on the Elite's side, who presumably allied with the Human forces at the end of Halo 2?

...Something's amiss here.

No, Not all the covernant will be completely divided, some will be mixed around a bit, but the main factions still will be Drone, Jackal, Brute and Prophet vs Grunt, Elite, Hunter and Human. And you havn't yet asked yourself, was he playing as mastercheif? Did he betray?

  • 06.30.2006 11:49 PM PDT

Its a theory you idiot it doesnt have to make sense

Do you belive in love at first sight? Or should i walk by again?

prophets are with the brutes.... how come the prophets got the brutes and not the elites to gaurd them after........did u even play the game >?

Its posable that not all of them broke there aligance with the Proffets. Pluss there were some on earth that might not know the resont events that happend on delta halo.

No, it's pretty clear that the grunts were intending to fight him. Supposedly the grunts are good guys now (unfortunately... little buggers) And I hope you don't have to play as a bad guy. that would suck.

Maybe the grunts on earth are still following Truth's orders.

Really though, good catch. That never occured to me.

You're right. For Arbiter's ragtag group on Halo, the local battlenet comms might not be available, got cut off from the rest, in disarray, or cluttered with confusion.

Nothing to get worked up over. The best guess for now is that the divided factions each have their own agenda and news of an alliance with the humans by the Arbiter may not have reached the forces at Earth. That, or the Arbiter gives Johnson and Miranda a head start to flee while he counts backwards from a hundred before hunting them again...

Ha, never considered that before.

(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

Hmm, it seems to make sense. I don't think even if the elites and such allied with the humans i dont think all of them would know at once. (just as said before)

I dunno, I just sort of assumed that we wouldn't be fighting Grunts, Elites, and Hunters.



...I hope not, personally. I enjoy fighting those enemies.


I betcha the Arbiter betrays Johnson and Miranda.

ONLY Miranda, Johnson, and the remainng Marines/Conenant on '05 know about the split in the Coventant. The revoluton in the Covenant probably hasn't reached every single ship and combat unit in the Covenant, so some grunts probably still hate humans...and the humans on Earth don't know about the alliance, so to them elites, huters, and grunts are still enemies.

Who sais there was an official alliance? For all we know, the only people helping the Humans (which was on Halo mind you) were Elites. Sure Grunts were fighting alongside Elites on High charity but who knows. Just let this one slide guys. We'll find out in less than 12 months time..

Hehe, more or less this is what I bet happened. Anyways I think the fact that he mentioned a new enemy is more important then the fact that you will fight Grunts. :p

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts, absolutely.

hmmm, i dont think he was specifficlay tslking abvout campaign, mayby he was actually tallking about ultiplayer, and they were bots... cos i seriously dont think fighting grunts would really fit the story line we know so far...

The main thing that i found was most intriging was the fact when he said he was fighting some grunts and something BIGGER than a grunt was also there fighting.... I wonder what that could be.

Alright, first of all, there is another thread where you could have posted this as to not clutter the front page.

Second of all, the grunts on Earth probably didn't hear about the allience, it happened so fast.

OK, yes, it is very true that I'm a dumb ass. I'm not denying that. However, isn't the whole point of a beta to increase the amount of users until you get someone dumb enough to try something you haven't anticipated.

it will not be a halo game if your don't fight grunts

so you will fight grunts end of discussion

You know how he also said um instead of an enemy he was fighting? He was fighting a brute, the grunts were just being controlled by the brutes in that part.

I'd love harming my enemies to death with butt strokes. XD

Grunts will follow elites rather than brutes any day. the thing is, the only people to come from high charity/halo are truth and his pals, so truth could actually pit the elites on earth against the arby elites(just call em heretics). Another thing is, word cannot travel faster than the Forerunner ship to say that the alliance/split with the covies had occured.

So, you will be fighting every covie for a while me thinks.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Also grunts will follow the Butes orders so they can preserve there own lives! Grunts will only turn against The Brutes if there are Elites around!
