The Official CMT SPv2 Promotion Items Thread (new pics as of 8-25-07)

The grunts are used as cannon fodder, so they won't have powerful shields to protect them. And would you really want Hunters and Brutes to have top of the line energy shields and active camouflage? I was being sarcastic when I said yes in case you didn't notice.

ugg..tastes like my morning coffeee...... *twiches*

anyway, if brutes hate grunts....will they attack each other? they did in halo 2...

They don't for the same reason we don't equip our troops with Dragon Skin armor and shiny, new assault rifles: cost.

The Brutes and grunts will be fighting on the same side. This is Halo 1, before the disagreement between the Brutes and the rest of the Covies took place. Since it was before the "heretic" let the first Halo blow up, there was nothing the Brutes had against the grunts (except perhaps for getting scared extremely easily)

or the grunts could of been stealing their bannanas? who knows that could of been the start of the whole war.

Not to go too off topic but, if you remember in the Brute VidDoc, the split between the Covenant (at least with the grunts) is actually not cleanly sliced. Most likely it's just them as the Elites loath the Brutes and Jackals are mercs, etc etc. Either that or they are grunts being forced by the Brutes in H3.

My heart still belongs to the Jackals. I love those guys. Their shields kick butt, i know they are easy kills but i like them.

man i am excited about Spv2, i can't wait till it comes out so i can play it

there aren't any drones in SPv2. Only brutes, sorry. Too bad CMT is working really hard on this project, probably the next update is the release. who knows?

CMT does

Dragon Skin is a type of real armor. As seen in one of the episodes of Future Weapons.
