Hey. I’ve played every Halo game ALOT and one of my favorite things about the campaigns were the enemies. I noticed how much they changed the Grunt design and this kinda bothers me. Grunts are such an iconic enemy, they’re even cute and lovable at times, not to mention funny. In case you don’t know, this is what the grunts look like now:
Im fine with the change, I means yes the old look was iconic, but this is a new studio with a new vision and art director. Give these new grunts a chance to become the new icon of Halo grunts.
> Cute? Dude, that’s only with their masks on.

> I just really dislike the Covenant designs in general. That jackal is just… nasty. Prometheans look pretty cool, though.
Indeed, almost looks like 343i had unified the textures and the design for Elites, Jackals, and Grunts as the textures are almost exactly the same in all three and both Grunts and Jackals have a piece of skin hanging from their throat. In other words, both Jackals and the Grunts look absolutely horrible. I really can’t stand them.

The Grunts in Reach still looked like Grunts. Can you imagine those viscous little admonitions that pass for Grunts in Halo 4 running away screaming at the top of their lungs? It just wouldn’t fit.

Not only would it not fit it would be boring.
Over 4 Halo games with Grunts that scream and run away, I’m glad they have made 'em nasty and less of a joke.
I just read some info about that race in the LE Halo 3 booklet, they don’t sound like a joke and now I’m happy they aren’t being treated as such lol. They should have a chip on their shoulder being the dogs body cannon fodder of the covenant.

lol, admittedly I haven’t got all of the books.
I want them to rise up and take their Independence! tbag an elite or two on their path for galaxy domination.
At first I disliked it, but I’m not a person who whines about everything, so I’ve come to accept change is good. I’ll still love them if they are just as comical as the previous installments.
