In Response To: Re: language (protexts) : It should also not be assumed that a story is not without contradictions, : contradictions that is better resolved by stepping out of the fictional : world for a moment and just saying, hey, the reason why x is the case is : for reasons that have to do with things other than the story, things that : may have to do with entertainment or game play. I mean,afterall, explain : the medical contents of a health pack. IMV, it's just some ambiguous thing : that looks logical in a superficial way but really has no serious : fictional explanation. Or why are grenades always scattered outside a : lifepod or rather than a more random distribution or a shotgun introduced : as you are squaring off against Flood... it's for ease of reference in the : former case and game play in the second. It may be a mistake to apply to : much logic to the fictional world when better explanations can be foundin : the relationship between our world and the imagined world. Having said : that, it is also the case that what appears to be a contradiction may : indeed have a rational explanation found in the fictional world. IMO Gruntspeak is something that I think bungie has probably tried to explain, fictionally, since it has such a presence in the game. As for the master cheif's grenade growing huge for the Maw cutscene... I don't know if the bungie folks would attempt to explain that as anything other than entertainment. ...Maybe the MC keeps a big grenade around somewhere... You never see what his head looks like when he takes off his helmet....
