Gravity Grenade

Gravity grenades inflict a low amount of damage in a large spherical area of effect. They are heavy and will not bounce far. A Gravity grenade creates a gravitational wave that rapidly expands, blasting players, vehicles, and movable objects away at high speed if they were close to the epicenter of the blast. The gravitational blast does minor damage but slamming into a solid object at high speed will damage the player further. The Gravity grenade is like a fast accelerating Grav Lift that expands from a single point outward in all directions. If properly executed a player can use a Gravity grenade to launch himself a great distance, like a portable Man Cannon.

Daddy like…

I could definitely see this being in a Halo game. I like the sound of it.

It sounds like a regular grenade with more explanation…
Maybe how you imagine it and how you wrote it was different.
But all I heard was thatit is basically an AoE but still an explosion and simple physics apply. But maybe because you said that it “expands” you want it to be more of a shockwave?

Sounds fun but would give a lot of help to players, like myself, who enjoy escaping the boundaries of the map :smiley:

Hmmmm, sounds like fun… hehehe.
I can also see this being used in a machinima.

I Really like the idea of this, it would be awesome, the only problem is that if it acts as a portable lift people will begin to use it to get out of maps and cheat in a way or Camp and try and go HLG pro or something.

It’d be a great way to clear a hallway.

That would be fun to blast someone off of the map, but people would betray the crap out of you with it.

I could see it being used, but not without any stand-backs. Many betrayals, campers, and little cheap ways of killing would ensue. Testing is nice… hence, 343i, hence.

It’d be nice for forge with low gravity.

Depending on the fuse time, something like that would be very useful for a quick getaway.
Like the smoke bombs in Monday Night Combat.

sounds like much fun actually

> It’d be nice for forge with low gravity.

In a default low-gravity map, I could see it being used to it’s name.

A guy pops around the corner in Sprint, and you toss a Gravity grenade in front of him, throwing him back and popping the man in the chest with the BR. He’d be out of control until he hits something like a wall or vehicle and he’d be easy pickings for anybody skilled enough to take him out with the given opportunity.

The further he flies/tumbles away from the main blast, the weaker the force of the explosion becomes.

It could definitely replace the incendiary grenade in Halo 3. Most of the time you don’t see it in multiplayer at all, but it’s still in the game for fun.
