I strongly feel that this does not belong. It takes away from the Halo Multiplayer experience.
I personally do not mind the less powered grenades of Halo 4 but if you’re going to have weak grenades then what’s the point in having the grenade indicator.
Playing Halo since my friend introduced me to his Xbox, the Duke, and Halo CE. I found that one of my favorite things in Halo is the grenade tossing. It was always amusing when you know you’ve lost the fight but make that last ditch effort to toss a grenade to either A) stick em or B) have that stray grenade blast them and then the smack talk ensues.
Some one tossing a grenade is already pretty obvious. The Frag grenades distinct thud/clang when bouncing of a surface and I believe there’s also the blinking red light (correct me if I’m wrong). The Plasma grenades hissing blue glow. The ball of light called the Pulse grenade.
All pretty visible.
Please consider taking this out. There’s already a lot of queues to tell you when a grenade is being throw, what grenade is being thrown and where it will land. I don’t need an indicator telling me a grenade is tossed when I’m aiming. Its just a distraction.
Honestly, I hardly pay attention to it. I didn’t even notice it till the second day I played. I pay more attention to the enemy ahead of me and the bullets wizzing by my face than the grenade I am running away from.
Good lord, what are you babies going to cry about next?! Every thread is a “nerf this, remove that” thread. Now we are to the point of grenade indicators?! Good lord the Halo community is getting picker that I would have ever imagined.

My God, this is like the 6th time you have posted this, all in different forum threads. Please stop copying and pasting this same sentence when its not relevant to the topic at hand.

He is simply stating his opinion and reasons for supporting his decision, while you on the other hand have nothing relevant to say but complaining about posts. Look, many people on these forums are just here to complain, they are here to try and change halo for the better. Stop taking it as complaining and start looking at it as constructive criticism. I get more tired of people complaining about complainers than I do seeing the complaint threads themselves.
To be honest, with the advanced tech the Spartans run in their suits I’m sure they would have some sort of indication on their hud. Hell if Halo armor was real I bet the shields would automatically adjust to provide extra cover in the area of a detected grenade. If a species can travel across the galaxy they can make a hud show a grenade. So it all reality the indicator actually fits really well into the Halo Uni.

I will probably get my post edited for saying this but someone needs to… you are one of the worst posters on here… what you say offers nothing to any topic…its just drivel copy and pasted over and over again…
All indicators from grenades to weapons need to go… why is it that nowadays we cant expect a player to be able to find things or avoid things without huge warning signs… stop giving players crutches…

And yet here you are complaining about complainers complaining about other complainers, you’re a hypocrite and as such you opinion is worthless please -Yoink-.
I don’t like this either. It isn’t 100% fair and, like OP said, it is already pretty obvious when a grenade is thrown at you. I actually thought it was indicating a grenade I could pick up that was near me. The next thing I know, I’m running away without shields from the spot where a frag just blew up. There is really no point in them anyway because if you get stuck, just because you know its there, doesn’t mean you can unstick yourself.
Thank you posters for the support and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. I in FACT enjoy Halo 4, Infinity and all the new features. I just feel that THIS one feature takes away the experiences of Halo.

A lot of you guys copy/paste the same complaint, why can’t we copy/paste our response to whiners? What makes you so entitled?

No… discussing similar topics is hardly the same thing as copy and pasting the EXACT same sentence over and over again that basically says nothing about the topic at hand just a general blanket statement that he posts on everything… that is stupid…
I thought this was going to be a big problem to. But just like a lot of the new features in Halo 4, I barely notice them even having a huge effect on gameplay. Even with the indicator, most people throw grenades I have a hard time avoiding anyway. And I think it showing up for your teammates balances it out too but then you are trying to avoid like 4 indicators at once…

It doesn’t take away, but it does feel like it doesn’t belong. Make it so you can disable it in custom options
