Juggernauts were originally slated to appear in the levels ''[[The Oracle]]'' and ''[[Quarantine Zone (level)|Quarantine Zone]]''. Although the model, textures, etc., are stored in the files of ''[[High Charity (level)|High Charity]]'', there are no [[Spawning|Spawn Points]] meant for it. As [[Bungie]] never programmed a death animation for the Juggernaut, when it dies, it just freezes in place. | Juggernauts were originally slated to appear in the levels ''[[The Oracle]]'' and ''[[Quarantine Zone (level)|Quarantine Zone]]''.

The Flood Juggernaut was the progenitor of the [[Flood pure form|Pure Forms]] seen in ''[[Halo 3]]''. There is nothing left of any host in this form, other than the raw materials. Even the calcium has been broken down to function as natural armor. Whereas the earlier combat forms were hosts used as vehicles, with the Pure Forms, the host material is used as building blocks to craft the ultimate form.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=Feast_of_Bones '''Bungie.net''': ''Feast of Bones'']</ref> | The Flood Juggernaut was the progenitor of the [[Flood pure form|Pure Forms]] seen in ''[[Halo 3]]''.

They often jump extremely high in the air at the player when noticed, sometimes landing on players, instantly killing them. The Juggernaut will also sometimes forget the player is there, and just stand still for a few moments. Finding cover is ill-advised, as the Juggernaut will usually hit it out of the way, sending the object an extreme distance. One of the best tactics is to run to the Pelican and get inside of it, since the Juggernauts are too tall to follow in, it will wait until the player exits the vehicle. | They often jump extremely high in the air at the player when noticed, sometimes landing on players, instantly killing them.

There would never be more than one Juggernaut in any given place. Once the player eliminated it, the combat forms that were supplementing it would go "offline". The Juggernaut has four to six infection forms inside its body to control it, similar to combat forms. It was supposed to be "this uber-intelligent mini boss, but the suggested intelligence was way too high for what design needed to use it for, which was as a big tank".<ref | There would never be more than one Juggernaut in any given place.

The Juggernaut appears to be very tough, resisting almost anything and making its death even harder to achieve, possibly making it go berserk. If the player picks up the [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|Shotgun]] and/or [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|Rocket Launcher]] he/she can make things easier. If not, they will have to rely on sticking them with grenades and attacking with whatever weapons available. | The Juggernaut appears to be very tough, resisting almost anything and making its death even harder to achieve, possibly making it go berserk.
