Seriously, frag grenades suck. I can’t believe the amount of times I’ve thrown a grenade near an enemy with low shield and won’t die, even at their feet where the range is supposed to kill. But, hey, if an enemies throws a grenade at me it’s an instant kill for them. It’s become annoying and pathetic. Overall, the damage in this game is so inconsistent.

It’s a combination of desync and the grenade mechanics getting changed around these last couple of updates. That is most likely what is making it feel inconsistent for players. Hopefully 343 is done tweaking grenades so players can start learning what to expect from them now.

Same, explosives (and the Gravity Hammer) in general are pretty inconsistent.

yeah no full agreement, I hate Infinite’s grenades with a passion. For whatever reason, the arc is wrong.

I just chuck stuff at people. Frags fail more often than not. Plasmas are, as always, a joy to land
The number of times I have watched plasma grenades go right through players or stick to them and then just disappear is ridiculous.

What, physics doesn’t suddenly change in a controlled environment? Weird.
Grenades are one of the things I believe I’m pretty good at. I take time practicing when a new game comes out. It’s important to me to figure out the physics of that version and make sure I get bounces and angles right. When they change the physics mid-stream, it’s absolutely aggravating. Since movement isn’t one of my best attributes, I focus on using corners to my advantage, with grenades and to escape.
In this game, however, plasmas have been highly annoying. Clear sticks don’t, and I’ve seen people run onto a placed grenade and have it stick like it was a jumping cactus. Overall, it’s the most inconsistent. Instead of changing the blast radius because of some “community” feedback (what community, professional gamers and streamers?), focus on making the plasmas consistent.

Slopes are (as with everything else) one of the biggest issues for Frag Grenades as the behaviour around them is entirely random
Yeah they’re like simultaneously terrible, yet you can yeet them across the map like a quarterback. I was just playing Halo 5 last night, and the grenade balance felt great! They actually felt like they have some weight to them similar to Halo 2.
