any news on grenades?

are they going to nerf them or even better, fix their physics to stop them acting like bouncing balls?

i was great landing frags on H3 but on reach it is impossible for me to place one, plus the way i play punishes me since i try to keep my distance jumping backwards, so i land on the opponents grenade.

We don’t know.

Though i hate Reach nukes, it’s because Bungie nerfed movement and jump height that makes so damn tough to dodge.

I am going to get flamed for this but…one thing i recently thought about is buffing that which was nerfed (movement and jump) and keep the buffed grenades. If you can move and jump reasonably fast/high, you’ll be able to dodge them and have powerful grenades.

Though i would be happy with Halo 3 era grenades just the same.

Does anyone know if 343i has confirmed what type of grenades are returning or being intoduced. Hope the Incendiary grenades return from ODST.

Just frags and plasmas. Any other grenade type? No.

I believe in the unbiased facts thread it states there will be 4 grenade types. Plasma and frag are confirmed.

Spike grenade and incendiary are an obvious guess, but there may even be smoke grenades? Who knows, it is exciting stuff though.

I honestly think that there will be a new grenade which will be used by the new enemies in the campaign.

yes, i agree. maybe same power, less bounce, and higher jump will balance them.

I just want CE EMP plasma grenades back. When you stick a Reach Major/Ultra Elite with a plasma grenade and he doesn’t die, you know something’s wrong.

I could tolerate H2 Elites since they’d either lose their ability to fire their gun or they’d take out their sword. They would also drop dual wielded weapon.

If the plasma grenades going to be underpowered (yet op when used against the player), then it should effect AI somehow (i.e. disorientates them like the H2 fuel rod gun did to Grunts).

Are you sure you weren’t playing on Legendary or Heroic with skulls on when you stuck those Ultra/Majors?

I loved how higher ranked Elites would go berserk when stuck in Halo 2. They would have this death cry as they charged at you xD
