Is the sticky detonator completely replacing the grenade launcher? Or will both weapons be present? The sticky detonator seems to have a lot of similarities with the grenade launcher, but one thing I really like about the grenade launcher is the EMP, which I didn’t see on the sticky detonator. Any ideas on what to expect? Or what do you hope for?
I hope they bring back both, if you will bring back both the BR and the DMR why not bring the GL also.
Confirmed by Frank no grenade launcher.

shucks. Hopefully the Detonator has the external effectiveness of the launcher, like EMP. I’ll be bummed if its only good for sitting there and waiting for someone to walk over it
Halo’s had a sticky detonator?
I hope we also get a new version of the Target Locator.

No we haven’t had a sticky detonator, I’m talking about the detonator in Halo 4 and comparing it with the grenade launcher from Reach

Can you post a link to it? I haven’t seen it yet.
It looks harder to use than the grenade launcher, I would imagine that it needs to stick to something before it could explode, requiring more accuracy than air burst.
And it looks fun, too.

0:40 is where it first shows up
Except for the EMP they seem like the same weapon.

Hmm. Thought that was the Grenade Launcher. Never noticed it stuck to things. Well I think the GL should definitely come back as well.

Thats what I’m saying. The detonator is like the launcher, but without the EMP capability, which in my opinion in a big loss

It does look very fun. And cute. Everyone likes a handheld gun that explodes everything in sight

The poll doesn’t lie. Pretty much everyone wants to see BOTH guns. And more people would prefer to keep the launcher over the detonator. Lets start a riot at 343 and get our point across
See, while I do like the Sticky Detonator…I think the Grenade Launcher is more versatile. You can fire it and let it go on it’s own, fire, hold then release, bounce it off corners, or place it and hide and use it as a mini-landmine.
The SD…just seems to stick.
;/
i would love to see these weapons
Personally I preferred the Grenade Launcher due to its appeal as an anti-vehicular weapon plus a fantastic support weapon. The sticky detonator seems to be a trap weapon, and mainly anti-personal. 343 is really breaking my heart by not returning my Nade Launcher and I highly doubt the SD will replace it in my heart

The Sticky Detonator can be fired and let go on its own. You press the trigger twice to blow it up; better since you don’t have to hold your finger down the whole time. You can’t bounce it off corners, but I never saw anyone get kills with the GL like that. You can more easily make mini-landmines with the SD.
I like it more. It even has a mini radar for where the grenade is!
Sticky detonator and grenade launcher are basically the same weapon in a different shape.
I really wonder how they can both be in the game. The SD makes the grenade launcher redundant (and vice versa), so in order for both to appear in the same game, one must change radically…
How would the GL change? They could buff it, but what would set it apart from a rocket launcher? Or they could make it fast-firing, and requiring a direct hit or a perfect bounce for detonation, but that would be OP imo…
