Talk:Unggoy Ultra

Possible Reversal of Opinion
After seeing page 131 in my Halo 3 walkthrough book, and seeing a picture and talk of Ultra Grunts, I decided to go on the hunt for them myself, because I am not above changing my opinion based on new evidence. After a long time of searching on various different gametypes and with certain skulls activated, I managed to get a shot of what I believe to be two of those elusive Ultra Grunts.

I will not fully believe this until we find a clear shot of Spec Ops grunts to, but this is worrisome because it proves that the Bungie.net guide can be wrong if this is right:



That is a very convincing image if I do say so myself, though they seem to have a slightly pinkish, duller hue compared to the frosty silver of the Halo 2 ultra grunts, but I am not fully convinced until we find a clear picture of a spec ops grunt. --Justin Time 23:25, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Name of Article
In all sources that I have seen, including the walkthrough, Grunts are reffered to with their title last, unlike Elites. For example "Grunt Ultra" rather then "Ultra Grunt", as per page 131 of the guide. I think we need to look into this. --Justin Time 23:36, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Ultra Grunts are not in Halo 3, do not edit that
All evidence and my personal experience points to that. If you would like to post a (clear) screenshot of one in Halo 3, I will retract this statement and eat a boot on youtube. --Justin Time 04:34, 6 October 2007 (UTC)



So yeah, about that boot eating thing....when will you do it? and haha! Kap2310 17:03, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

It does not even work, so I think any boots in my household are safe for now. ;) --Justin Time 23:43, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

My mistake. Its there now and you better start salting those boots for flavor. Kap2310 02:19, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Thats a black Spec Ops grunt thilly goose. Too bad, I just started boiling the water to. --Justin Time 03:46, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Really? Hmm, looks white, if not light gray, to me. Aw well, gave it a try :\. Kap2310 18:40, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Nope I have encountered many of those using the Thunderstorm skull. Good try though, the household boots remain safe for now. But yea just look at the silvery Halo 2 grunt on the main article and youll see that one looks nothing like it. --Justin Time 22:40, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

WTF?! ULTRA GRUNTS ARE IN HALO 3. QUIT EDITING THE PAGE TO SAY THAT THEY ARE NOT. THEY ARE ON HEROIC AND HIGHER! AJ 00:13, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

I play on Heroic and Legendary and have personally never seen them. But not only that, but the Bungie Campaign scoring does not say they exist, and they do not appear when you use the Thunderstorm skull. So right now, with the Bungie, I have a source of evidence and you do not.

If you were to get the screenshot though, I will acknowledge that you were right and leave it be. Good luck finding something that doesn't exist. --Justin Time 02:39, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Who gives a care about the thunderstorm skull!? If those were spec ops grunts, then why were they assigned to a regular unit? AJ 00:36, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Look at the main screenshot, not the smaller weirder lighter one with the weird pose. The above picture is an Ultra Grunt. -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 00:38, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * How can anyone tell? Special Operations Grunt and Ultra Grunt look virtually the same. Besides, why is it a big deal if they're in Halo 3 or not? They still suck and are easy to kill with one shot from carbine or BR. --Squishy Vic[[Image:Legendary.jpg|25px]](talk) 00:43, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

That is true... but i appear to be mistaken. I apologize for the trouble I've caused...AJ 00:46, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Look here, http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsCampaignHalo3.aspx?gameid=17778915. It shows the same looking Grunt and says it's SpecOps.. --C R 

Yup. I just looked on my game history (for Campaign) on one of the Legendary levels and those grunts (that look like Ultra Grunts) are Special Operations Grunts. Therefore, they aren't in Halo 3. --Squishy Vic(talk) 01:03, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

And so, that picture up there is wrong... or ultra grunts don't exist at all... AJ 02:26, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

It must be the lighting then, cause I killed what I though was an ultra grunt and while it had that same greyish color, it seemed much shinier. I saw it on Herioc on Crows Nest. Zuranamee 08:19, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Thats what I thought! AJ 01:46, 12 October 2007 (UTC)



Go eat a boot! Zuranamee 08:49, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

The very first picture is very obviously a spec ops grunt. That second picture is far too shitty to be able to tell anything. Pull up your campaign scoring from bungie and show me where it says you've killed an Ultra Grunt and I'll believe that shitty pic may be an ultra grunt. Though with that lighting and shitty quality it easily looks like a Spec Ops grunt. --Justin Time 06:54, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh man thats white f*cking white, do you want more proofs?? It cant be. You are pissing everyone here. Clavix2  I WILL PAY FOR  ALL MY SINS 06:59, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Clavix: The campaign scoring doesn't lie... oh yeah, that pictue on the Grunt Ultra Page; looks just like a spec-ops grunt... maybe a spec-ops commander grunt? AJ 02:31, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

The campaign scoring does not lie, like AJ said. But that grunt is not white. I was playing sierra 117 on thunderstorm, and it surprised the hell out of me because I thought I saw an ultra grunt, but it was just the lighting on a spec ops making it look shinier like an Ultra (the new spec ops are slightly grayer then their Halo 1 counterparts). So I think a clear screenshot (if they exist it is not very hard to find one, screenshot it in theater in good lighting, and upload) would clear this up. Good luck, this is like finding Big Foot because there aren't any ultras in Halo 3. --Justin Time 01:00, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

i swear on my life there are Ultra grunts in H3, they protect Ultra Brutes like they protected Ultra elites in H2 and if any one tells me how to take screenshots of H3 and upload them to the Halopedia then i will i swear to the most important thing in the universe. User:Captain-One

I retract my previous comment, there are no Ultra grunts in H3 but i no why every one thinks there is, it's the armour in open daylight it looks white but when u get up close and personal it is actully brown, but in dark areas it dose look brown, what brings me to my next question, why are spec ops so frequnt and why are they wearing brown not black? like in h2. User:Captain-One

I contend that it is a form of purple. A really watered down purple. At first I thought it was a pearlescent white but on closer inspection I found it to be a purple. Ultras have a distinctly white armor unlike these boys. Perhaps grunts who are veterans of some of the most prestigious or hard campaigns gain a different armor but have no command like majors or ultras. Or they could be higher than majors but lower than ultras.

In the book Halo 3: The Official Guide on page 131 at the lower right hand corner there are 6 grunts of different ranks around a sentence. The grunts in the top right and bottom left of these 6 grunts look like one being ultra and the other being spec ops. DilaBagomee 15:35, 08 July 2008

Controverseyz about teh Ultreh Gruntz
ULTRA GRUNTS ARE IN HALO 3!!! I played coop on legendary on The Ark. The first couple of sleeping grunts are in TOTALLY white armor!!! I'll even get a screenshot when i have the time and prove it to you people!!! He is right i have seen ultra grunt's in halo 3 level sierra 117 on legendery without any skulls activated. i'll belive u ehn u get the image, but make sure it's a big clear pic User:Captain-One

OK. This is what I believe. I don't care if anyone doesn't believe me, but I'll say this as clear as possible. First of all, the pictures do look like spec ops grunts and they look somewhat black in the game. The thing is, in Halo The First Strike, didn't they mention that the marines saw white armored grunts. From the Expierence of Halo 2, the Ultra Grunts are pure WHITE. Bungie could have noticed the mistake and switched the color of the armor in Halo 3 to a dark silver to show that they are not some form of laborers. They also however are NOT pure Black. SO THEY ARE NOT SPEC OPS! Also didn't somewhere, forgot where, Bungie said that Ultra grunts are SILVER, NOT WHITE! I don't know why the campaign scoring says that they are spec ops, but in the OFFICIAL strategy guide it specifically says that they are ultras. This would make sense because there are ultra brutes, but no spec ops brutes. In halo 1 and 2, Spec ops grunts were always led by spec ops elites. WHY IN HALO 3 WOULD SPEC OPS GRUNTS TRAVEL ALONE! Also the Thunderstorm skull makes everybody that is of the regular rank list their highest rank. NOT SPECIALIST RANKS! If these grunts weren't ultras, the thunderstorm skull would make all the minors, majors. PEOPLE, CAN YOU SEE WHAT I AM SAYING! PLEASE comment on this and paste it on my talk page as well so I know you answered, even if the comment is bad. I want to here from you. --HaloRocks! 00:40, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
