  • I know these ranks were made almost entirely for gameplay rather than lore purposes, but I always thought it was weird there were no designated pilot classes. I can envision Grunts and Elites that would be given special training to be vehicle and aircraft pilots, and have their own special armor and gear to go along with it. Also on that note, it is a bit funny how Grunts can pilot some vehicles like Ghosts, but Jackals are never seen in the games piloting or driving anything. Is there a lore explanation for this? Maybe since the Jackals are essentially just pirates and mercenaries, the upper Covenant caste never trusted them with the keys to any expensive hardware.

Golden hunters attack with fuel rod shots, while blue hunters fire streaks of energy; both are equally damaging.”

They shoot different kinds of rounds as the standard Mgalekgolo shoots a fine beam consisting of around 2-3 seconds long, while the golden Mgalekgolo shots individual canon rounds, similar to that of a fuel rod cannon. Also I believe that “she” is slightly Healthier and buff-ier on harder difficulty’s

  • 19:00 Pretty sure we see 1 Sangheili Ultra in Halo CE, during the Silent Cartographer mission, there is an elite that gets stuck behind the doors leading into the cartographer facility when you initially try entering and the doors shut and lock. If you look at him through a scope (or get lucky with a plasma grenade and kill him) before the doors close, you can see the armor and helmet matches that of the Ultras.

Imagine the sheer terror that loosing an army of buggers on a city like New Mombasa would create in people, as opposed to the military might of the Sangheili or the, uh, brutality of the Jiralhanae. Also, I imagine Lekgolo, as opposed to Mgalekgolo, could cause a lot of damage along these lines. I’d guess the gold Mgalekgolo are the ones of the pair that are higher-ranked, or the one of the pair that existed before the other, with the blue ones being the lower-ranked.
