Please bring back this endearing, super fun to use, weapon. The grenade launcher from Halo Reach is one of the most fun and extremely satisfying weapons to kill with. I’m calling on the community to speak up and let 343 know we want this weapon restored from its former glory to brand new high quality textured 1080p 60 fps goodness in Halo 5. WipesTearsOutOfEyes
that would be beautiful
Well, seeing as how powerful standard Frags already are, not to mention the unfortunate superiority of the Plasma Caster to any previous Grenade Launcher, I don’t see them adding it or the Sticky Det any time soon. As much as I would love to see both make an appearance in Halo 5, they would be overly redundant without the redeeming quality of nostalgia.
Dude, you’re making duplicate posts. Since it’s only two in such short succession, I can’t tell if it’s some connectivity glitch, or if you are legitimately breaking forum rules. But I pointing it out as a friendly warning to know it’s happening, or stop doing it before you get in trouble. :I

It was most definitely a glitch. I was posting on mobile and it gave me an error. I tried to delete the other thread but there is no option to. Hopefully a mod will lock it.

One did, and you explained. I even looked at your profile and this isn’t the first time it’s happened for you. I’d suggest waiting to get on a desktop to make posts. :\
Wow a post that suggests something and doesn’t bash on the company but the opposite, now thats an idea I can get behind would love to see the grenade launcher in the game it would be great on a lot of maps and for clearing armories or taking care of those hunters in warzone.
yes please.

I’ll always try and be constructive with my criticisms. 343 doing an amazing job right now and I can’t wait to see what they add in next!

lol
As someone who hated reach and 99% of what it brought to the franchise, I’m gonna say no. Not a fan of the hydra or plasma caster but I’d rather use those over that “new age noob tube.”
Also BROOT SHAWT 4 LYFE!
there’s the noob tube, and the there’s the pro pipe
lol
It doesnt need to. The advanced Hydra has the same emp effect the grenade launcher had.

It might have an EMP function, but it doesn’t have the hold and release remote trigger function. I loved using that thing and seeing if I could time the grenades just right to kill a spartan, or knock out a vehicle. I think the Reach grenade launcher would make a good addition, although I think there are other weapons that have been waiting in line to get into a Halo game longer and would receive a welcome return (see Brute Shot and Mauler).
I miss this weapon.

lolwut
The Plasma Caster is by far the worst grenade launcher we’ve ever had.
Hell, it’s one of the worst power weapons we’ve ever had. I’ve seen countless matches where no one even bothers picking the damn thing up.

^Truth.
The Reach grenade launcher in the hands of someone who knows how to use it correctly is one of the best and most dynamic power weapons to ever be in the Halo sandbox. The plasma caster is vastly inferior in terms of usefulness and being fun to use.
Hardly ever use the plasma caster, doesn’t seem like it’s good for much apart from trying to get an assist. I have gotten some good kills with it so not ready to write it off yet.
I do think the Pro Pipe was great fun to use, it was like the rail gun but without a charge time, just aim and poomf get a kill from a direct hit. I liked everything about it especially the sound and the reload animation.
Having used M79’s & M320’s in real life, I like the Reach grenade launcher. Very close to the real thing, they did a good job capturing what they’re really like. Sometimes I’ll play some Reach firefight just to end up with a DMR/grenade launcher combo. That is a fun time.
