Here's a cool idea for the Halo2 campaign. If you've read any of the Halo novels, then you will know that the grunts breathe using methane tanks, so in campaign, wouldn't it be cool if you could use like a pistol and shoot a grunt in the back (that's where I assume the methane is) causing him to hold his neck and start screaming? It would be funny if they started saying stuff like, "Oh $h!t!!!" Bungie should hecka put that in, and make them start spinning around and stuff. lol. plz gimme ur opinions on this.

We've seen somewhat the same idea before. Methane has been pointed out. The tank would explode, however. It'd be great to watch Grunts run around choking to death, though. What a sadistic bunch we have become.

I have no objections to it. hell I'd aim for that pack all the time if it did that. However I tihnk it shouldn't always make them go nuts holding their throats. Maybe instead they can make a last ditch effort and attack even more zealously then they would normally do. Like an Elite with a plasma grenade on it (without the time delaying roar).

That would all be very cool. However, according to the the HBO update this week they said that they're doing something to somehow empower the grunts so that we as spartans will have to show 'em a little more respect. I wonder what those Bungie guys are up to??? ... No more wimpy little grunts... now the whole brood is grown up and no longer needs their food nipples... now they're all giant sumo-sized grunts that eat people for snacks!!! Run away! Run away!

It says I don't have access to it. Is it a secret or something?

Talking about this, the new Splinter Cell 3 video features something like this, although it's more like strangulation.

My thumbsticks will be your Doom.... sorry 'bout that.
My Stats

Having some interaction with the methane Grunt packs in Halo 2 would definitely fill my pants with steaming pooh (hey that sorta rhymes!). I say it should depend on the kind of bullet that hits their pack, like a sniper riffle would cause a leak and the grunt would run off and slowly die whereas a battle riffle burst would make it explode. Although the target zone for the exploding backpack would have to be hard to hit (like a hunter's soft spot) cause there are so many grunts in the game it would make it too easy to just blow them all up.

I hope Bungie's method of making the grunts harder entails them blowing themselves up with their methane packs. For main-instance; when you've pumped a few bullets into a Grunt and he's still on his feet and waddling toward you, he could say something like "you'll never get me!", or "if I die then so do you", or maybe even a "oh what a cruel world" then he'd set off a self destruct and his pack blows up (with the force of a grenade... of course).
