Possible hint in the Grunt Funeral Skull information.

> “Grunt Funeral” Skull** – An exclusive, game-modifying skull that changes the rules of the game for an explosively humorous experience, “Grunt Funeral” sends Halo’s most lowly and lovable enemy out in a blaze of glory. And plasma. And then more glory. Once the skull has been activated, every Grunt’s methane tank will explode like a plasma grenade when killed. Watch out for the Grunt chain reaction!
Sends them out… does this mean grunts will not be in Halo 4?
Thoughts?

No I think that’s just because they asplode.

Well, all the grunts should be dead in Halo 4.

hm wery well thought out, never thought bout something like that

Usually, when ever it says send them out with a bang, or in this case an explosion of glory i would think so.

Maybe this means there will be more skulls to find in CEA! They’re already modifying the game with one skull, why not more? "just a thought"

Wow…you are reading way too far into that.

> Well, all the grunts should be dead in Halo 4.

the grunt loyalists anyway. there is still grunts on their homeworld.

No covenant will be in Halo 4’s campaign, because it wont make any sense.
we’re going to get completely new enemies, mark my words.

Exactly, I would be extremely pissed if I saw any covenant at all in Halo 4. Unless its an easter egg of course. As of now I can’t possibly imagine a way where they can make it so you still fight covenant, I doubt anyone can. Although, the fact that they came up with a story for not just one, but 3 more games at least is remarkable. The only thing I can possibly think of for a story is master chief trying to stop the evil Forrunner AI from activating the Halo’s or something worse to eradicate all sentient life. I cant remember the AI’s name. It was hidden in the terminals in Halo 3 on the side scripts in the red. I think it started with an “M”.

You are speaking of Mendicant Bias. He was turned good, and kept the chief alive on Halo, and sent him to this shield world in the Halo 4 teaser. If you read the terminals in Halo 3, it says he wants to use Chief to show the forerunners he betrayed, that he has changed I think, something like that.

Of course there’s not going to be grunts in Halo 4, the Covenant are gone. Although seeing a Brute, Grunt, Elite, Jackal, or Skirmisher in an easteregg would be awesome.

> Wow…you are reading way too far into that.

Not really.
343 is dooming themselves if this is true.

> Maybe this means there will be more skulls to find in CEA! They’re already modifying the game with one skull, why not more? "just a thought"

Exactly what I had in mind. Maybe one of them will toughen up the Hunters, hide the sword glow of sword stealth Elites on the original graphics, make marines more elite and bad–Yoink-, make the Wraith drivable, fix or tweak the physics so that players can’t be killed by their own vehicle unless it’s at high speed, and make Zealots grow to giant proportions (jk).

As for the Grunts, I want them to appear as an easter egg, like the thirsty Grunt, but in unison. Imagine a group of Grunts saying the same thing to Master Chief at the same time.

Grunt Funeral Skull is the Key. It unlocks their death and sends them on a wonderful blue yet Great Journey.

I lol’d :slight_smile:

OP

I think you may be looking too far into things but its a nice find though. I do see it easily now, so it could be.

I just want to know :stuck_out_tongue:

Why do you guys think it`s called ‘Grunt Funeral’?

> Why do you guys think it`s called ‘Grunt Funeral’?

True, but it could just be a name. I find what I posted in the OP a much better hint. it would make sense if grunts don’t return but they were always fun to kill, and it got even better with the GBDP skull.

anyways, I’m excited for the Grunt Funeral skull, it will be alot of fun to play like that (:

I hope they also have Birthday Party, and you can turn them both on so they shoot out confetti and then blow up!
