At first i thought maybe the grapple hook would be restricted to just movement, but then chief grappled to the brute.
This is just going to lead to the same issues everyone had with spartan charge unfortunately

Maybe. Maybe not. We don’t know how things will work in multiplayer yet.

Yeah hopefully the grapple hook isn’t in all playlist.

They said in there press briefer the grapple in MP will be map pickup.
“And yes, these new additions to the sandbox will also carry over to multiplayer, however they’ll function a bit differently as equipment items that can be picked up on the map. We look forward to talking more about multiplayer details soon.”

Yeah, but in what game modes? What playlists? And as a map pickup, it’s nothing like spartan charge. It might even be the worst map pickup option out there too.
We just don’t have enough information to judge currently.

You do understand that spartan charge does the same damage as melee. It can’t kill you unless you get hit from behind are your shields are down.
Yeah it’s just thruster x10
To some extent perhaps.
With the grapple being a piece of equipment rather than a default ability there is a difference.
Spartan Charge can happen 24/7, no restriction, anyone can do it.
Grapple-Shot is a limited use ability that needs to be picked up by a single player. This means less people have the ability to use it and it has only so many uses. In addition, not every map will have to contain a Grapple-Shot pickup.
I think you’ve really made a stretch by equating Spartan Charge & Grapple-Shot to be the same thing.
Also, a good thing to note would be the fact that the grapple-shot in multiplayer is indeed “EQUIPMENT” from Halo 3. If for some reason the grapple-shot is hated on a certain map or people just flat out dislike it in multiplayer, 343 can always just take it out like how the flare was taken out of certain maps in Halo 3. This is honestly why the Halo 3 equipment system -Yoink- on Armor and Spartan abilities. They are just so much more flexible and they don’t impact map design like how inherent abilities like thrusters or required loadouts containing jet packs effected maps.
Honestly grappling hooks are so weird for Halo’s aesthetic. It would make sense if it were like a Brute equipment pickup, but why is the UNSC deploying grappling hooks for Batman maneuvers when they have suits with thruster/jet packs?

I have a feeling it’s probably some contraption the pilot made for chief or something he obtained on the field somehow.

I can live with that… I would love to see equipment pick ups back on the maps.

The teaser that was released a day before the 8 minute demo shows his suit being manufactured and the grapple hook being integral to that process.
If it was a standard ability I’d definitely be against it, but as a map pickup I think it could work if done correctly. I’ll save my judgement for the multiplayer reveal, whenever that may be.
