I wouldnt mind brining this back it was so much fun in i think Halo Reach?
I’d like to see Gruntpacolypse as a story mission. Imagine intead of just glassing an area a couple of Covenant cruisers park over head and dump thousands of grunts while your trying to complete your mission. Heck! They could make it a new skull for the campaign you could add to any mission just to change it up for fun.
If Gruntpacolypse returns, I think it should feature two types of NPCs: freeroaming and territorial.
At present, all firefight NPCs fall under the former category, which means they actively hunt/follow/flank the player no matter where he goes. The problem with this approach is that their numbers are generally confined to waves or it would be too overwhelming for players, such as in the TnR grav lift fight. In firefight, they are often spread too thin over the map to pose a significant threat.
The latter type (basically enemies confined to a certain area) could allow for larger numbers and could function as a sort of boss fight scenario, say for instance: a Grunt Deacon summons all surviving Grunts, in addition to new reinforcement spawns, to rendezvous at a location (formerly inaccessible or selected at random to prevent players from camping, juggling weapons over there, etc.). A waypoint or objective appears on your HUD and instructs you to defeat them there.
The latter type can only be seen in SP, such as on The Storm (at the end of the level, if you give skipped enemies time to retreat to the AA gun) and on Sierra 117 (by killing all Brutes and Jackals which triggers a retreat to the prison, then by entering the prison building which triggers a retreat to the bridge: https://streamable.com/1o87v).
Here’s what 33 psycho Grunts on a bridge looks like (no mods or cheats used, it’s all naturally occurring with some in-game adjustments): https://streamable.com/02oqn
Of course I support this post, because it implies classic Firefight to return

What a wonderfully strange idea. It would be hilarious fun. A literal gruntpocalypse. It would be funny if they grunts attacked everything too
Gruntpocalypse was a fun game mode to blow off some steam.
