Apparently the Dawn's cryo pods come equipped with nanobots that Cortana used to change the armor. She also modified the firmware, which explains the UI changes and compatibility with armor abilities.

Where the did you get this information?

Still doesn't explain how the Grunts and Jackals in Halo 4 look entirely different.

They aren't part of the covenant in Halo 4. The Covenant is gone. This particular group of Covenant remnants are called the Storm.

No it's not their armor. It's the way the damn species looks in general. Example.

Also the grunts sound completely different in halo 4 compared to halo 3. It's not even a problem of them speaking english or their native language it's that in halo 4 their vocal cords don't even sound like they could make the same sounds as they could in Halo 3 or Reach.

That still doesn't explain it? A change in affiliation doesn't completely change one's biological build.

The Jackals in Halo 4 look like the Itchythiosaur (thyosaur? Thiasaur? forget words.) from Half Life 2.

Dead serious.


My theory is that it's just a different species.

Similar to those skirmishers form Reach that were related to the jackals that apparently went extinct before Halo: CE. (Justifying them being there.)

At least skirmishers look like they would at least be part of the same species. Just with more feathers (The jackals look birdlike as it is).

I personally believe they just wanted to update the design for the Jackal but I could be wrong.

The Grunts started sounding more alien in Halo: Reach, I've missed their silly voices since :c

For the multiplayer or singleplayer?

[Renousim]

both, mostly singleplayer though if the rumors about it being open world are true

I doubt it since those same rumors were happening when Halo 4 was revealed.

Artificial selection man, in the same way we've breeded dogs they could breed jackals.

why would they, though? there are no real drastic changes in the way jackals act in the two games, right? do the covenant just like loving lizards?

[Masterlegodude]

do the covenant just like loving lizards?

Don't knock it 'til you try it They're just probably trying to keep their species alive before they end up like the Skirmishers
