Why the Grunts look different in Halo 4 - 343is Answer

[quote][quote]Query:Do Unggoy in Jul 'Mdama's covenant remnant belong to a certain subspecies or are they genetically bred?[/quote] Query Answer: Human [Lifeworker] records found in accessible [frumentarii] cores do not indicate extensive [genecraft] modifications by [Covenant] [Lifeworkers]. Rudimentary [forensic] analysis of indexed [monachus frigus] geneplan records and [epigenetic] studies recorded by Human [Lifeworkers] show anomalous phenotypic plasticity, in addition to conclusive evidence of strong genetic structure in selected [Covenant] combatants known to be sourced from specific [breeding] zones. This indicates either prolonged genetic drift in refugia populations or induced selection.[/quote] Simplification 1 [quote]Human [scientist] records found in accessible [ONI] cores do not indicate extensive [genetic] modifications by [Covenant] [scientist]. Rudimentary [Forensic] analysis of indexed [Unggoy] geneplan records and [epigenetic] studies recorded by Human [scientists] show anomalous phenotypic plasticity, in addition to conclusive evidence of strong genetic structure in selected [Covenant] combatants known to be sourced from specific [breeding] zones. This indicates either prolonged genetic drift in refugia populations or induced selection. [/quote] Simplification 2 [quote]ONI records do not indicate extensive genetic tampering of Grunt genetics by Covenant scientists. Quick analysis of indexed Grunts along with human studies show non-standard exterior variability, in addition to conclusive evidence of hardy makeup in selected Grunt soldiers which are known to originate from specific breeding locations. This indicated either prolonged genetic drift in populations existing in unfavorable conditions or induced selection.[/quote] There you go.

    A much more reasonable explanation than the one about the Master Chief's armor being altered by nanobots. However, I don't understand why they've bothered to come up with all these explanations to justify the changes they've made. Why not just say that it's a simple retcon? Just 343i's interpretation of Halo's Universe? I actually prefer the look of the new Grunts, and I do like the look of the Master Chief's armor in the Reclaimer Saga too.
