I noticed in the new Vortex gameplay video that stickies seem very hard to throw far. (woot) I hope that will be enough to “persuade” people to use other grenades instead of causing the halo-reach-elite-slayer problem of stickie tool-of-destruction for every player. Though, i also noticed that they seemed to still completly destroy a warthog with one stick. =(
Nothing could ever get me to spawn with anything but my stickies. They can take our range, but they cannot take our arms!
I’m gonna be using all covenant weapons, I just like the look and feel of them.
I’d much prefer to be able to bounce a frag around the corner. No matter what, I’d still choose frag.
Shattered gameplay? You mean Vortex?
The grenade indicator is also a slight nerf to stickies as they take longer to explode. Your opponent will know exactly where they are and have a chance to get out of the way. I noticed this happening quite a bit.
Ill be using them on BTB for anti-light vehicle. But when it comes to close range/objective I would have to say Pulse Grenade will be a better choice. Ill do frags for mid range and bouncing.
By using your logic that people playing as Elites would spam stickies for CQC moments in Reach, then I don’t see how this nerf matters. Because distance never mattered when you tried sticking people at point blank as an Elite so I don’t see how this will change why people will use them.
