As me and a friend were discussing the aesthetic changes Halo 5 will be getting, along with customization with req cards, I was thinking why grenades dont get this treatment? I know it sounds a little crazy. But imagine tossing a frag. a nd Just before it blows the last thing you see is “Hi” written in red on the grenade.
I just thought it would be a cool little aesthetic that would be good fun to see. Especially IF theatre mode comes back and we can make clips.
I would like to throw golden grenades, or bananas, or basketballs. Could be fun.

The Holy Hand Grenade.
While it would be fun, I think that’d be something best left for a potential down the road Action Sack thing, like Mini Slayer was.
Not a bad idea to be honest. Though in truth, it would be pretty difficult for anyone to even notice a grenade skin.

It’s almost impossible to not notice something like this being thrown your way.
well it would be really unique to add skins for you grenades but as the guy above me said it would probably be really hard to see
You would only see it at best for a couple of seconds before it blew up, what would be the point?

I suppose so. If everyone was throwing around random garbage instead of grenades, it might add up.
In that line of thinking though, I imagine having different options/skins for Oddball would be more amusing. Carrying around a soccer ball or something instead of a glowing skull of death… Would be a Custom Games option and not a player-specific skin, but hey. (Or it’d be something only 343 could change, along the lines of Mini Slayer)

I can see it now, pounding someone’s head in with a golden flaming skull.
Seriously?

It would be glorious. Especially if huge bursts of confetti sprayed out when you land the final blow. Hoooraaay!
A flaming Mark V helmet would be interesting perhaps. Or, a very very large grenade. Hot Potato option returns to Oddball custom games!
i don’t agree that grenade skins would be a good idea. When is the last time someone threw a grenade at you and you had enough time to see the detail on it? exactly. never.
So long as it doesn’t break immersion like flaming heads and swirling hearts, I wouldn’t mind it.
Firework grenade would be cool for the 4th of July lol. However basic skins would be too hard to see, so some visual effects could work.

It’s MP, why do we need immersion? This kind of stuff makes the game fun.
Could you imagine a tennis ball skin? You just see a guy throw a tennis ball at you and you’re like “what the hell?” Then BOOM.
I want one that is the shape of an F. For F bomb. I think that would be hysterical.
Ooh, what a pretty- BOOM

Would have to disagree there. I just like to feel immersed in the game, even in MP. I hated the silly things in Reach that had no place in a Halo match (of course this is my opinion). The electricity, the stinky spartans, hearts, confetti, etc. It just frustrated me to see that stuff in game.
Why waste time and money on something people wont notice
