Should Firebomb Grenades make a return in H5? What grenades would you like to see from past games?
Firebomb grenades for sure. The spike grenade was awesome, but would need some sort of buff. Although its sad to think that since the brutes are not in Halo 5 that all of their tech wont be there as well.
But fire grenades also need some sort of buff. They need to either have a wider area of effect, or longer lasting flames so that they can be used as a blockade, etc.

This was confirmed?
First I’ve heard of it. They weren’t in Halo 4 either, but the Gravity Hammer still made an appearance.
Is it confirmed the Brutes won’t be in Guardians?
I really like the Pulse Grenades. They bring something unique into the mix, something that was lacking from most H4 weapons… in this case, area denial. A great defensive weapon in addition to being a great offensive weapon. It’s similar in that regard to the firebomb, but more 3-dimensional.

Obviously this isnt confirmed but it seems as though since all we fought were prometheans and barely any covenant, and there was absolutely zero mentioning of brutes in Halo 4, then I would assume that theres a good chance there won’t be any in Halo 5. Just my thoughts though - I hope they come back.
I still wonder why they got rid of the spike, and fire grenade in Halo 3. Made the game very interesting. If anything is really ‘Halo’ it’s fire, as there was a flamethrower in Halo 1 PC.
-Spike grenade
-Fire grenade
-EMP grenade
That’s all I ask.
The Power Drain Equipment is a more versatile version of the Incendiary Grenade.
How about a Brute Shot that could fire Incendiary Grenades?
I think Brutes returning is very plausible. Seeing there involvement in Escalation and what not.
I’d love for fire bombs and spike nades to be featured in matchmaking. If the pulse grenade returned, I think it would have some stiff competition with firebomb
Both spikes and fires were awesome, so yeah. Those new halo 4 ones suck- forgot the name, but they take shields out.
There should be some sort of Promethian land mine where if you step on it, it opens up like a ghostbusters trap and sucks you in or disintegrates you.
I never liked Spikes, seemed a little too much like a Plasma grenade that stuck to walls as well. Firebombs were cool, but if they return I’d like to see them have more map interactivity. Imagine playing on a deserted industrial landscape, surrounded by dead grass after a virus ravaged the ecosystem. You’re heading back to the central firefight after respawning, but are caught by a team of two enemies as you cross a grassy patch. You quickly whip out a fire grenade, and toss it down onto the dry grass. Thermite gel sprays everywhere, and in a flash, the pair are engulfed in flames. You escape with your shields barely scratched, feeling like a badass.
I would love to see the Firebomb and Spike Grenades make a come back. These two types of grenades were prefect for gametypes like SWAT. Me and my friends had a blast using them in custom games just as much as we use the Pulse Grenades in Halo 4.

Pretty poor logic - the Brutes had fit in the Halo 4 story, hence their absence from the game.
As for Halo 5: Guardians? We have no idea what the story will be apart from Locke and Arbiter looking for Chief.
