So....Grunty Aesthetics

So um…I hear people are not happy with this beautiful face here…and here
And that they are athropods, and elites are reptiles and all this blah blah blah…

And So im wondering…What is the problem with the new grunts?

Compared to his sister, cousin, and step-mom…I think he looks pretty cool. Sure they strayed from the original design a bit concerning the mask and the tank on his back…But the original concept of the grunt carrying around a tank on his back, breathing in that mind-blowing, exhilarating methane gas.

To be honest I think he looks a bit more dangerous, almost so much I think he could take on JAWS.

But anywho, enough of my opinions…Whats so wrong with this new grunt?

I like the new grunts more but that is just me. I’m not sure why are so many people complaning.

I think there will be a perfectly valid explanation in-game for why the elites and grunts look so different. Aside from the texture of their skin, which people seem to care SO much about…

I think these elites and grunts are some sort of post human-covenant war pirates who are scavengers that cross the Forward unto Dawn and board it thinking that it’s left over space scrap from the war. That would explain why these elites and grunts are covered in such shoddy armor… because they’re NOT soldiers, they’re scavengers. Whatdya think?

Because Grunts aren’t reptiles.

Indeed, they are Aliens.

Specifically, arthropods.

they look a bit odd, yes, but i’m not going to meticulously examine them in-game. if they look like general grunts, if they act like them, if they still scream like girls, i’m cool.

I love it. It’s different, that’s why people hate it. The Grunts look like the could seriously be a threat to somebody now. That’s how an alien race should be.

As the gameinfomer magizine points out. In the first mission Cortana notes they`re rustic wornout armor.
So your right on the money.

I like the fact that the grunts look a bit more menacing and not goofy. You can take them more seriously and that goes for the elites too.

Right, because having scales = reptile… Aliens are aliens, their weird.

hey at least they are not as screwed as the Volus in Mass Effect

Change isn’t always good, but in my opinion, this is a good change 343 made. Not sure why people don’t like the new look. Guess they’ll miss the cuteness?? I don’t know.

They just [i look * reptilian, though I still think the model looks good.

if scales = reptiles then Asari from Mass Effect are reptiles…I OK with banging reptiles apparently…;p

I like the scavenger Idea, but it also reminds me a little of the heretic grunts from Halo 2. the grunt certainly looks a little more beastly instead of a laugh. looking forward to see them in gameplay!
