Bring the GL Back! (Halo 5)

Community General Discussion

Hello, a few months ago before Halo 4 came out I posted a thread about the return of Grenade Launcher.

All of us who have played Halo 4 have probably used the SD. Now, I would like to compare the SD and the GL again.

(NOTE: People who didn’t play Reach need not respond)

I personally like the SD, it’s an okay weapon. I prefer the GL though for many reasons though.

GL:

  • EMP
  • Bounce
  • Midair detonation
  • Range
  • Traps
  • Skill to use
  • Small kill radius
  • Weak explosion
  • Difficult traps
  • Sparking grenades (easier to see)

The SD has advantages too.

SD:

  • Strong against infantry
  • Easy traps
  • Larger kill radius
  • Stronger explosion
  • Harder to see grenade
  • Shorter range
  • No EMP
  • Easy to use
  • Not good against vehicles

What it comes down to, mainly, is preference; I prefer the GL, and I think its more versatile. Now, there is a third option. What about combining the two to make a grenade launcher that has two firing types? This could be very OP though. I loved how the GL took SKILL; it was very fair and if you were good with it, it was easy to get kills. I want this weapon back in Halo 5.

Leave a comment with your thoughts.

I prefer the GL. Honestly took skill to use.
I want flag juggling back, too, but… :stuck_out_tongue:
Some things just don’t happen.

I agree.
I want the Grenade Launcher to REPLACE the Sticky Detonator.
It really doesn’t serve a purpose in Halo 4. And the distance it goes, its too short, and it blows up too fast, even when you walk away. And of course, the EMP from the Grenade Launcher does wonders. I really miss that one weapon.

When ever possible I used the GL in reach but the SD I dare use it.

I need to for commendations but I know I’ll hardly get any kills with it due to lack of radius and they manage to get away with a slither of health.

Not to mention EMP was effective not only against vehicles but for clearing shields on enemy units just like the SD does most of the time.

It was so hard to learn how to use and after all that time mastering it only for it to be replaced I can’t help but feel like I waisted my time.
