They need to remove plasma nades from loadout since it makes vehicles even more useless than they already are. I mean regular vehicles like the ghost and the godd’ol turret worthog are basically worthless as of right now because if somebody comes even remotely close to u, they’ll just double nade u and you’ll blow up and die…
OMG! this is the worst thing that has happened to vehicle fans since armorlock, if not even worse! I remember back in Halo 3 when getting 30 something kills with the worthog and the ghost actually was something achievable.
Also one more rant about the nades; why are they spawning in the corner of the map Ragnarök??? Why not just put them were they used to be in Halo 3, nowadays it’s just to bothersome to go pick em up if u don’t spawn with them
Honestly I welcome sticky nades pwning vehicles. You have to have SOMETHING to trump them. I get in the Gauss hog on exile and get a 15+ kill streak before they manage to kill us.
I thought you were referring to sticky nades NOT sticking to people / AI enemies. I don’t enjoy watching a theatre video and seeing my grenade pass completely through the skull of my foe to just fall harmlessly 10 ft away.
On one hand, yes, sticky grenade spamming vehicles is pretty cheap.
On the other, some maps have the power weapons in easily campable spots so the vehicles can continue to -Yoink- everything uninterrupted (cough Ragnarok cough).
It’s not like it’s like a super annoying problem… yet since not everyone hasn’t unlocked them for loadouts I guess but spawning with these and the plasma pistol really isn’t helping me are anyone else that tries to go for splatters and usually end up jacked or dead
I like spawning with stickies as it lets me counter vehicles. I always seem to get stuck on the “bad team” so I never have the power weapons and my weapon drops are always needlers since that’s my luck lol
> Seriously why is it if someone kills you with something someone wants it out of the game???
Ban the Unicorn helmet. A dude wearing one thrashed me at CTF yesterday and I’m still sore about it.
On topic, I welcome being able to spawn with Plasma Pistol and/or Plasma Grenades. DMR/sniper have been nerfed against vehicles (right?) so we need a way of counteracting them - the example the OP gave of a warthog being able to go on a 30-kill spree is fun for precisely two people; the driver and the gunner. That’s just plain overpowered.
Vehicles are still good in Reach, they just need new tactics to use. T Ghost on, say, Meltdown can still splatter people like nobody’s business and won’t usually go down from one plasma grenade (and if your Ghost is a smoking wreck, why are you still driving the damn thing!)
The Banshee, now, that’s something that has been flipped from overpowered to “flying coffin of death” useless.
Thank you this is what I am getting at… I think the main reason is when someone gets pwned by something, they believe to fix it isn’t within themselves anymore. but the game is broken!!!
I’m not whining about removing the plasmas, there are greater issues at hand (dmr auto-aim looking at you) however I wanted to see if people found this annoying or if they found it a good addition to the game.
It’s not like I found it super annoying yet and I haven’t gotten killed thaaaat much by them yet, however I found it strange that 343 included them as starter grenades, as bungie was always wary of not starting u of with them (unless it was some sort of special game type) probably exactly for the reason I stated above.

this is why you die so much its not that plasmas are cheep its that you want to splatter and now you cant because people know how to dodge the ghost and counter it.
I have to say, I love having them in my BTB loadout. It actually gives a fighting chance against being spawn trapped by vehicles, which was incredibly too easy in Reach.
But, also, it can be obvious when someone has the plasma nades. They approach you and are running at you and such. Best to keep some sort of distance and stay mobile.

Well what can I say?, I love the sound of spines cracking in front of my ghost much more than the sound of people dying of some ghost-mounted pew pew guns
Honestly the loadouts are kinda causing this problem. It was much more balanced when you had to run over and pick up the plasma grenades, which would usually be found easily at your base, but there was only two or four so the entire team wouldn’t have them, and not on every -Yoinking!- spawn. Vehicles are becoming increasingly bad every day now, as people realize how overpowered it is to carry a plasma pistol and plasma grenades, something I’ve been doing on almost all my loadouts since day one.
I believe 1 plasma grenade would be enough. It’s not like one single spartan should be able to blow up a car by pressing one button twice. Either this, or go back to having plasma grenades on the map (as should DMR / BR ammo be).
It gets annoying when you’re going to kill someone and he tosses a sticky nade your way. I’ve adapted to that little tactic and tend to move side to side now. Problem solved!!!
