The intricate duels with the Energy Swords have lead some to speculate that they may have a parrying ability in Halo 3. No significant information has been revealed elsewhere to support this, though the ability to parry could account for some of the often questioned advantage to dual wielding energy swords.

That it would suddenly surface in the [[Halo Graphic Novel]] has been cited as evidence that the Elite Arm Shield may be returning in one form or another. This equipment item does not exist. | ||
Also, if one looks closely at the | Also, if one looks closely at the Grunts during the Flood battles, you can see that some appear to be carrying MA5B assault rifles. This is odd because the Covenant believe human weapons to be too primitive to be worth using. It could be that since these are Special Operations forces, that they have been trained to use any weapon they could find, unlike the rank and file members of the Covenant. Another possibility is that Grunts do not care what weapon they use | ||
