I picked up Halo CE:A last night. Against a better lack of judgement I decided to sacrifice a few hours sleep and jumped into the campaign after poking around Timberland and Damnation.
Almost straight away after starting The Pillar of Autumn I noticed a problem. The Grunts weren’t dropping their Plasma Pistols after I killed them. Has anyone else noticed this?
Is this a glitch?
Was this because I add Grunt Funeral on?
Was it because I was playing on legendary?
Or any combination of the above?
Or did 343i disable the grunt weapon drop to make the campaign more challenging?
If the grunts blow up, won’t their guns be launched across the room?
No, I am going to call this a glitch, they just disappear all together. I even switched to the classic mode to find them easier, less grass and decals to look through on the ground. Still could not find them, had to wait for the jackals before I could get my PP.
Probably due to grunt funeral blowing the gun half way across the ring. This is supported by killing a jackal and getting its gun seeing how they don’t explode.
either this or the game just doesn’t like you very much, I’ve herd complaints against this very rude game.
As far the grunt detonation sending the gun flying, that’s what I thought also, but I was on the pillar of autumn and most of those hallways and rooms are not very big. So unless the guns are out right disappearing or glitching through scenery then yes I would say this a glitch.
Definitely some minor glitch. I watched as the grunt’s pistols would disappear. Switching from the remastered graphics to the classic and back again seemed to fix it.
First 3 Grunts on that level have plasma pistols that can’t be picked up. But any other Grunt, it’s probably Funeral or a glitch (likely weapon falling through floor).
