*Oddly enough, [[Heretic Elite]]s will sometimes say "By the Rings...". This is unusual because they, technically, have lost all faith in the [[Halos]] as something good, yet they use the saying when surprised or scared, likely out of habit.

This is unusual because they, technically, have lost all faith in the [[Halos]] as something good, yet they use the saying when surprised or scared, likely out of habit. Another (and a bit more likely explanation) is that the game's developers forgot to make sure that the Heretic Elites wouldn't say something that glorifies the Halos. | ||

*The Heretic [[Grunt]]s do not run from a fight even though their superiors are dead. There is possibly a connection between this and the later remark made by a [[Marine]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'', "These Grunts ain't no slouches either."

It's quite possible they received better combat training because they choose not to burst fire Needlers, it shows they have greater understanding of the weapon. | *The Heretic [[Grunt]]s do not run from a fight even though their superiors are dead.
