I was playing Halo CE the other day and I noticed that the grunts in Halo CE are tougher than the other grunts in H2. I was playing on Legendary and the grunts could take like 5 melees to the face with an AR. Where in H2 they would only take about two. I donno maybe I was wrong, but post what you think and dont flame.

they do. In halo2, all they did was take away the health and make their shots do more damage. In Halo CE, they had health, and could take punishment.

well that's true but elites are more tougher so it evens out.

ya, but the grunts in Halo CE have more health than the elites in Halo 2. It doesnt make sense!

You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

In Halo 2, there are 3 different melees:

Standing melee (weakest): Just melee
Dashing melee: Run to opponent then melee
Running melee (strongest): Jump then land on opponent meleeing them. Melee them right before you land.

Halo 2 had this new feature unlike Halo 1. In Halo 1, all melee had the exact same damage to the enemy.

Also in Halo 2, the heavy weapons (Sentinel Beam, Rocket Launcher, Fuel Rod Cannon, Brute Shot) caused an additional damage due to the weight of the weapon. So if your doing a hand to hand combat with a grunt, remember this post!

So in Halo 2, the damage became more realistic.
