What happened to the 'Little People'? [GRUNTS]

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

I have seen so much hate on 343 since Bungie signed Halo over to Microsoft. I myself have my own reasons for disliking the creations of 343, but I do agree that there are positives in their games still. But this post is about the missing…

GRUNTS
Where were the Grunts in Halo 4? I mean, I didn’t see them, did you?
And I don’t mean those weird things that looked as if they had a rubber that you put on the end of your know to prevent reproducing, I mean actual Grunts.
You know?
“Little People First!” If you read that in a grunt voice, you are like me, and miss the comedic feature in the Halo franchise, another reason 343 has failed so horribly. I mean Reach sort of did it too, but IWHBYD did a bit to help.
“I think I just wet myself”,
“Please Enjoy my bright, blue, balls!”,
“Badguy, 12 O’Clock!”, “Anybody wearing a watch?”
I could name this stuff all day but there aint enough forum space.

The grunts were awesome.
You almost felt sorry when you shot them in the head with a BR with grunt birthday party on. They were so helpless, and coward-like. They had been taken fresh of their food nipple (Litterally) and forced into war with the covenant. Then they all became weird, mutated, and just… BLAM! See what I did there? (Halo 3 reference).

I vote that actual grunts make a return in Halo 5, though that’s not going to happen :frowning:
This is my piece of tribute to all the grunts who have fallen in the war against the humans. R.I.P Little people :’(
You will always be remembered

I think I am going to cry.

Sorry I was going to write more about my love of the old grunts but I seem to have tears running down my cheeks.

I am going to take part in a happier discussion.

Actually I believe it’s going to happen because the arbiter is shown and his grunts know English. in halo 4 the covenant was a different faction so the grunts didn’t know English.

Just like now on earth there are multiple languages. The grunts in the earlier games new English because they would be on the front lines.

The grunts featured in Halo 4 as well as the jackals were a different sub-species that became part of the Storm Covenant, hopefully classic grunts will be shown in Thel 'Vadams covenant.

I thought MC had Cortana translate their language or he had a software program or sometbing. It explains why the s3’s didn’t have it in reach and why she couldn’t transkate in H4- she was malfunctioning. What you’re saying is the covenant took the time to learn English?
