I’d rather they make it better than just “get used to it”
If the enemy know where you are - the hail storm is coming.
Sometimes you can avoid them / minimise damage if you are playing Platinum or below.
But if your up against a team of Diamonds they will be coming in thick and fast. Just get out of there.
I’ve been tired of grenade spam since Halo 1. Sadly it will never go away and its why I prefer swat more than anything else in Halo. No bullet sponges, no nade spam, no power weapons, just raw skill.

The grenade works as intented. Played every halo version and grenade were always used as an attack combo. Throw grenade - start shoting
Friendly fire would cause a lot of discussion.
Example:
I engage in a fight, my shield and the shield of my opponent get damage, a friendly grenade ist thrown. My opponent gets killed, me also, a dialog pops up “you were betrayed by player A”
What do you think will happen? Right, i chose “throw him out of the game”
And im pretty sure, alot of people will react like me.
So, please no, no friendly fire at all.
The only problem I have with grenades is that I can’t carry four frag grenades!
You’re right, that probably would happen. But the point doesn’t end there. If you’re constantly getting kicked from matches for grenade spamming and killing teammates, you’re not going to just keep doing it. You’re going to learn to be more selective and smarter about when you use them. Which is why I’m personally in favor of friendly fire, it actively forces players to play smarter.
It’s not like you’re wrong for wanting a more casual approach that doesn’t make you think as much, but to me turning off friendly fire feels like taking chess and turning it into checkers. It removes a layer of complexity that makes you think more strategically and I personally enjoy that.
Sure, there will be players who adapt and look twice before they throw a grenade.
Still, you dont know who is around the corner, so you throw the grenade just to get a hint, if there is “shield” getting damaged.
With friendly fire, you stop use this tactic and run straight into an opponent waiting for you.
On the other side, there will be alot of player who just dont care and will still throw a grenade where his own team members are fighting.
It will create a lot of hate, just imagine, you are fighting, a friendly grenade is thrown, your shield is decreased or blown away but you are still alive. You get killed by the opponent with just a few bullets.
The main damage was caused by a friendly grenade.
Honestly, such a situation would make me angry.
Disagree with gernades. They are a staple of Halo and arent going anywhere.

Remember when Modern Warfare 2 and Bad Company 2 made those grenade-spam PSA’s? Those were funny. Welcome to Halo!
This has been solved since CE. Whichever enemy did damage to you before your friendly grenade killed you is awarded the point. It’s not different than if you are fighting and you accidentally kill yourself with a grenade. You don’t get a suicide, the enemy gets a kill.
Yeah, and to some degree that’s always been the case but it feels worse in this game cause grenades are bouncier, don’t damage allies, and there’s no indicators anymore. I really miss in 4 where it showed you a little marker that said a grenade was nearby.
