      @Bruce Bee In Halo CE legendary pretty much any enemies are a viable threat. Especially since grunts and jackals can rapid fire their plasma pistols. On their own they are easy to deal with but when you are taking on Elites (one or multiple) on Legendary or LASO your attention is focused on the biggest threat so grunts or jackals can flank/sneak around sometimes and just finish you off at the worst times. Especially on LASO where elites are mobile tanky grenade throwing champions.

    You forgot to mention that most grunts that you fight in the covenant are actually children since the prophets used mass production of the grunts to their advantage. It also explains why the grunts you fight are very idiotic and ‘child like’. This knowledge made me feel so bad when mowing down grunts.
