The reason why they're goofy in the game is probably to make the flood feel more threatening. You don't see any of these critters in the flood levels to brighten the mood.
@@MeadeJ67 Yeah, and, my point of view on it is that I take this as a Sci-Fi parody and satire, nothing wrong or right about it. It's clear to me that this franchise takes more or less direct inspiration from many existing movies, and adds a silly layer to it. The humans are pretty much reducted to the United-States of the Galaxy, and treated like a classic 80' action American movie constantly spitting lines like "Hoorah ! Allright ! Boo-Yah ! Let's kick some Alien asses !". The Aliens are just, big bad Aliens, with silly dialogues/noises and ray guns. And whenever it tries to start getting serious, there goes again the silly comedic noises.. I stopped playing ODST partialy for that... I really tried getting immersed, but for some reason, wandering around destroyed New Mombasa with some overly dramatic Jazz music that tries to force a somber tone, while at the same hearing goofy Aliens noises, didn't do it for me... It's like trying to mix oil and water... Either go full goofy, or go full serious, but don't try to sell me drama with this kind of stuff, it's inconsistant and feels like they are not assuming what's really going on. Not counting the fact how awefuly stupid everybody seem in this game... Like, come on, still trusting the Oracle for the third time after all this ?!? Oooh, he turned bad again and killed Sergeant Apone-UUH, Johnson, sorry, what a twist....! I'm at Halo Reach at the moment, and so far, it SEEMS a bit more serious and balanced, which I like, but anything before that, nah, not doing it for me...
@@johnblacksad1627United States of the galaxy? Funny because the United States doesn't exist in halo, also the reason the grunts are so goofy is because they are litterally children
oh you want to feel even more guilty ? grunts are actually kids, the only way they are used is because they learn extremly fast, like, crazy fast and elites are a somewhat father figure, so when you kill their elite you basically kill their adoptive father (some elites are even attached to them and will ruch you in rage if you kill all of them)
No, they just grow up fast. They sound like this because of their methane tanks being filled with helium, that’s why they sound like ghouls in halo 4 (because they’re in reqreum.

Combined with the large number of young per clutch and rapid sensory-motor integration development, this was one of the primary reasons why the Covenant cleverly used the Unggoy's breeding habits to their advantage in battle, deploying the Unggoy as cannon fodder." im positively sure its the case
For me is not..i just can see grunt making this noises while bleeding and crying with tears and feeling agony because Master Chief made a giant hole in his body using sniper rifle.
I love how quickly they went from being completely overconfident to completely cowardly and pathetic. The elites were fun because of how their voice actor was so insanely dramatic, but them not ever being afraid of anything made them a little too predictable.
A little toopredictable? Mate the entire halo AI has exactly one single reaction to any given action and executes this 100% of the time. Halos entire point is its extremely predictable enemies, which together with halos weapon sandbox create the halo dance.
Grunts are surprisingly tough, and humans who are weaker and easier to kill than grunts can survive grenades, so a grunt surviving one isn't too outrageous.
@@rootsnootthnute8598 From what I heard, jackals are the only Covenant race a human can easily beat in a fist fight. They have hollow bones while grunts have stronger bones and an armadillo like shell with arm spikes.
I love the running away sound at 0:34 and 0:45 They sound so super scared and sweet at the same time I never hurt them when they retreated. Also the laught at 1:34
It's hilarious when they say "not again!" because it implies that particular Grunt has been stuck with a grenade or needler supercombine before and survived.
no, they believe in re-incarnation and stuff, it would make sense too because the prophets would use this as a way of getting them to not care too much about self preservation in battle so that they can wear down enemy forces and make it easier for the elites, jackals and brutes to kill them, they breed extremely rapidly so they are used as cannon fodder, also, i would'nt be surprised if to make it even more convincing the unggoy might be implanted with memories of their fallen predecessors explaining why they believe they were stuck with a plasma grenade in their "previous life"
Even hearing the Grunts talk and chatter with each other makes me nostalgic! I miss their little quips, like "Tag!", like it's all a fun game. I mean, the grunts really had personality to them in the original classics of Halo. It's Halo 4 when they stopped showing it, but despite how mediocre Halo 5 is, the grunts were a highlight (since they talk english again, and they are STILL funny as hell).
The more time goes on, the more 343 messes up, the less I view halo 4 or any 343 halo games as halo games. They don't count. Idgaf. I used to make an exception for halo 4, but the taint of 343 is too strong now post halo infinite I can't consider any of them legit. It's zombie halo under 343.
Dude one time I was taking cover and a grunt shot an elite with his needler and was like "Whoops sorry!" and the elite straight up stared at him for like 5 seconds.
I did a How To: Rip sound from Halo: CE one time, it got very veeeeery low support, aswell as views. Which I guess I see, cause it wasnt very well made :P.
Coming at you two years later with a fun fact relating to this! Due to how grunts' minds work, they actually are able to learn new languages incredibly quickly.

My favorite part of Halo 1 is when you're in that room with flood Captain Keyes, and you go over to the door where there's the special ops covenant and the scary music kicks in as the grunts start exploding and killing all of their teammates.
Someone I once knew told me about the most hilarious situation he ever ran into, when one grunt tried to toss a grenade over the shoulder of his fellow grunt, stuck him with a plasma grenade, and the stuck grunt yelled, "Not again!" before they blew up.

The fact that the grunts say “Not again!” After getting stuck means canonically grunts have survived sticky grenades before.
