In Response To: Re: Jackal update, a little Elite as well. (Warbow) : I don't think they are random. You can hear Jackels giving Grunts orders. : Then the Grunts will respond "Right behind you." or "I'm : with you" If you think about it, inserting these sounds is not that involved, if you consider how the AI in Halo is *already* programmed with the differing units having a 'hierarchy', and all that. So it was just up to Marty to take the time to record all these dozens of sounds, and then program the hooks in the program to trigger a sound when a particular set of circumstances are in place. What's cool is that Bungie took the time to do it, whereas other companies can't even bother making a grenade lob animation look realistic (e.g.: Ghost Recon for the Mac) and thereby ruin the experience somewhat.
