Ok is it just me or is the plasma grenade serving more like a flash bang due to its explosion. It seem to better used as a distraction than trying to use it to get a stick in my opinion. What do you guys think?
Great post. I’ve been waiting to comment about this in my review video. The plasma grenade I think is one of the most nerfed and now useless parts of this game. Which is sad because it used to be one of my favorite things to stick someone and watch them run around before meeting their doom. I don’t know if they changed the accuracy of the throw or what but it is MUCH harder to stick someone than previous Halos and you can see that in everyone’s stat breakdowns. If they keep it the way it is, I think it should either detonate faster or be used as a true sticky grenade that you can stick to anything like ceilings and walls.
The splinter nades and frags are much more useful in this game. I would also much rather prefer a sticky detonator over the plasma caster.
i didnt really think about this but yeah your right. The flash off the explosion is pretty disorienting. I’m gonna start using them like flashbangs lol
Pretty disorienting, but not as bad as space-time warping in front of you from a splinter and the crappy FoV ensuring that it takes up your entire screen.

It is easier to throw the plasma grenade in halo 5 than in halo 4. But in a let’s examine halo 5 video, the guy says that they do that to keep the frame rate steady or something. I liked the sticky detonator, but it didn’t exactly give off a halo feel. The plasma caster is amazing in my opinion if you don’t charge it up.

One time, I shot a guy with a scattershot and it took out his shields. He threw 2 of the splinter grenades just in front of me, and I couldn’t kill him because I couldn’t see anything. I got so pissed because he just tossed a plasma grenade after that and I “caught it.”
It’s been like that right?
It’s gotten more difficult to stick people in Halo now and I do agree that the flash from the new sticky grenades is very bright and disorientating

It has gotten harder to stick people because we can sprint, thrust, and slide.
Good idea. I’ll start using em like that. Pity they dont have the same effect on vehicles as they used to.
