Which one do you prefer and why.

Grenade Launcher because it can be shot and bounced off walls to cause some damage. Especially because you could lay a trap where as the hydra launcher only can track when scoped.Plus pro pipe is way better than the two hydra variants.
Grenade launcher. Hydra only works if your opponent isn’t firing at you, which doesn’t happen often.
I just tried the grenade launcher today, wonderful, insta kill with one grenade. It takes multiple hydra shots to get a kill.
Hydra. Longer range. Typhon locks onto mutual targets (easy multikill) and the Echidna is basically a sniper, but has missiles that can EMP vehicles (can also lock on without being scoped for close range).
I like to use the grenade launcher mainly because you can bounce it off of anything, plus the grenades can go quite far.
Even though I don’t prefer them that much (I’m a sucker for Railguns), the Hydra would be the more preferred option. The Grenade Launcher is cool, but I am a terrible shot with it. I either shoot the round too far or too short from my target.
I prefer the grenade launcher for certain situations such as CQB

Except the Echidna is 7 reqs to get and by that time you could get a spartan laser, rocket, nornfang, beam rifle, Void’s Tear, ultra banshee,tank or binary rifle.Possibilities are endless.Unlike grenade launcher which has a lower req level emps vehicles plus pro pipe can track a target as well after bouncing without having to use smart-link.
It’s situational for me. I’ll use the hydraulic for a mid to longish range and the GL for close quarters or vehicles
For me, it’s between the Pro Pipe or Typhoon. Both are extremely good weapons IMO and both are fun to use
Hydra. Bit easier for me to use since I don’t have to worry about arc. Plus, it fits my preferred play style better, as I like to have a little more room between me and the people shooting at me.
I live the hydra because im bad at aiming!!!

Echidna doesn’t deserve Level 7 status. Too little ammo, reloads far too slowly, damage isn’t high enough, and while the EMP gimmick is cute it’s nullified by the very real possibility that whoever you’re shooting with it is going to be having Wheelman equipped at that point of time. You wouldn’t waste a 7 REQ on a common vehicle, you’d be pulling it out because someone’s in a Helios or something. And while I have messed with Helios’es with an Echidna many times in the past, there’s just so many better alternatives (Endgames, Lances, Nornfangs…) at that level that are so much better.
It’s a Pool of Radiance situation; very rare, expensive, potentially powerful… But just “potentially”. Echidna needs to either be buffed considerably somehow, or be knocked down to a 6. Heck, make it a 5 even. Then it’d really be a Pool of Radiance - you’d choose between the (superior) Typhon / Light of Urs, or the much rarer (and weaker) Radiance / Echidna.
That being said, I’m split between the two weapon types. I love using the Pro Pipe but I also adore the Typhon. Different weapons for different situations~!
Mmm hydra bro 
Imo hydra is better but gl is more fun
Grenade Launcher, it can easily kill Spartans and take down vehicles, whereas the Hydra is pretty much only good for Vehicles, as it can only kill a spartan if he doesn’t go for cover, which doesn’t happen much.
EDIT: It is also sometimes annoying when the rounds bounce off a spartan, allowing them to kill me.
Well the Hydra can be quite good if you can stay out of close range fights and shoot from across the map, and in Warzone it’s quite useful for the wide open areas of maps, like sniper weapons but easier to use. Thus, I feel in Warzone it’s mostly for either defending from an elevated position (etc the roof of the Garage) or to provide slight pressure on enemy bases from a distance by farming those enemies that expose themselves outside the base. The Typhon can be decent at closer ranges though, and the Echidna is obviously for anti-vehicle too.
The grenade launcher is more for close range, and in Warzone you spawn it when u have a ground vehicle u really want to get rid of, or when you are defending/attacking an enclosed space. I use it mainly if I want to defend a small enclosed base from the inside by camping at corners and the top of stairs, then bouncing nades across the floors and walls to kill enemies from behind cover.
Same goes for attacking enemy bases that are enclosed, I just stay behind walls and try to bounce shots into the base to flush out defenders.
But I feel that for wide open spaces the GL is quite useless against Spartans unless u have really good aim.
And although the GL and Hydra may have their own uses, I’ll probably go with the Grenade Launcher because it just makes me feel like a Halo Reach player all over again.

Please don’t feed HaX railguns. He’ll likely go on a beasty rail spree. lol Work of art actually.
Same here, I’m more comfortable with the hydra since I tend to miss with the GL. It’s great when I do bank a shot and finally get a kill with it.
Neither. I suck at using both of them

Yes give me the Railgun anytime.
