Weapon launching can only be done with Plasma grenades.
This is a great feature given that plasma grenades are relatively underutilized.
It adds depth to the gameplay and strategy.
Competitive Halo players can certainly rejoice in the reintroduction of weapon launching that hasn’t been in Halo since Halo 1.
That’s actually pretty cool. I’ll never be able to do it, though.
That’s awesome.
Wow, by the way does any one know what the hard target medal is for ? Got it with a grenade.
That’s fantastic. Can’t wait to try and fail miserably to get one.
This the best thing I’ve seen from this game next to equal weapon starts.

You didn’t, actually. Hard target is a survival medal, awarded for recharging your shields ten times in one life.
Old thread but I just heard about this. I love that this will be brought back in H5. Although I would prefer if it worked with the grenades you get on spawn… The best option would be to make it work for all explosions (including rocket, frags). If not that, then at least give people sticky nades on spawn so they can take advantage of this feature.
The reason its for plasmas is because they come to a stop when they land and explode.
Every frag since Halo 2 has bounced around instead of neatly settling to a stop like they did in Ce. It would be very hard to launch weapons with these nades.
I can agree with rocket explosions, though I think it would be a waste of a rocket in most cases.

Hmm you mean because they “arm” when they bounce and then explode in mid-air? I suppose that would make it more difficult to use them for this purpose, although seems like it still should be allowed…
I guess stickies only is better than nothing.
It’s not always a waste to use a rocket for such things. It’s actually really useful in a few cases in Halo CE, typically because you can execute it much faster than a carefully-lined up nade toss, so if you’re pushing fast, its useful.
I have also gotten this medal with the plasma caster which is interesting to note…
Well I will give this a shot one day, I have a feeling it will take me 100 years to get it done because the weapons will never come my way hahaha.
You don’t need to blast it to yourself to get the medal. Just blast it and then go and pick it up.You still get the medal if you are quick

It’s just more effective if you blast it towards you. And if you can master the technique it could be extraordinarily useful in competitive Arena matches.

Right on thanks for the info
It’s a very fun medal to get, but I can’t ever imagine myself using it in competitive play. The weapon physics are too random to predict where they go.
Got it the other day having no idea what it was
Do you have to catch the weapon in midair or can it land?
