I was thinking that it might be neat if that when you’r crouched and throw a grenade the distance of the grenade toss is much shorter and controlled.
This could be used in small closed off areas when bouncing or directly throwing a grenade isn’t possible.
I could definitely imagine myself using this while getting into bases during CTF.
But that’s just my idea to mix up grenade throwing. What’s your’s?

I am pretty sure you would throw more precise if you would take your time to aim instead of sitting down.

I like this idea much more.
Good aim, awareness of your surroundings, and understanding of the subtleties of the map geometry get you far enough. We don’t really need more to grenade throwing than a single type of trajectory. Simplicity is an integral part of good gameplay design.
You guys are thinking too much about the trajectory of the grenade.
Another possible way to mix up grenade throwing is that when you’re in the passenger seat of the Warthog you can lob the grenade completely backwards instead of throwing it normally.
I’m obviously coming with bad examples on how grenade throwing can be innovated but surely someone else has a better idea?
P.S I appreciate the tips guys and I know you mean well but you can stop that.
I think it would be interesting to be able to lob and/or roll a grenade if you’re crouched.

If the developer wanted us to be able to throw grenades backwards out of a Warthog, they’d just allow us to just rotate the camera to face backwards and then press the Throw Grenade button. Simple.

No, you want grenade throwing to be complicated. You only seem to be using the word “innovated” to ask for something new for the sake of having something new. And that’s fine, but in a shooter (and especially in Halo), grenade throwing should be simple.

SEE! There’s a better idea right there and you didn’t even have to try.

Or I actually did mean innovated. It really was my intention to try and improve grenade but that plan hasn’t seem to have gone very well.
But how’s about just one more shot at it? If you hold down the grenade button for three seconds instead of throwing the grenade you’ll detonate it in your hand and commit suicide. It would be easier and faster then throwing grenades at your feet and it’d be a funny thing to watch at the end of a match. This too complicated?
No one is going to stop and crouch to take the time to throw a grenade with better aim and precision.
Just learn how to throw grenades better.
I like the idea of having less throwing power as an option for throwing grenades. Would make them more feasible in CQC.
I’d be happy with just getting the grenade launcher back.
