what are the thoughts on grenades so far during the beta ?
I’ve played around 10 games so far and I feel the grenade spam is just a bit over the top. I’m hoping for a 1 frag grenade spawn by end product personally. I would like the power though to stay where it is.
Thoughts, idea’s or if you’re against it post below ! I wanna hear the communities thoughts !
I like the idea of 1 grenade at spawn. Because of a thrust and higher mobility, grenades kind of have to be a bit more powerful. I think they are far too powerful though ATM.
I think the power is fine, but the bounce needs to be SERIOUSLY toned down. Right now, at least the human grenade bounces around like it’s made out of rubber.
Throwing grenades feels very clunky to me. The whole action just doesn’t feel right
blast radius is a bit too wide and the knockback is wild.
more concerned with the blast radius
interesting thoughts so far. The bounce physics never occurred to me. Now that someone mentioned it I do agree it is a bit wonky
Frags are currently a little to powerful, almost as destructive as Reach’s nuclear nades.
I can definitely see how the bounciness of the UNSC grenade is annoying, my recommendation would be to tone it down just a little- not too much though, because you still want to preserve skillful, tricky throws, and with everyone having thruster, a bouncy grenade balances a little better. And while I think that only having 1 grenade would help, I feel that the only way to truly fix the grenade spam/OP is to reduce both the blast radius and the damage of them. The blast radius- especially on the plasma, I’ve been killed a few times by one that was a good 4 feet away, and I was full shields/health- needs to be toned down, especially considering that grenade hitmarkers are still in (and before you complain about those, they’re sort of a requirement if you’re going to have them for regular guns, and as a modern shooter, you need them for regular guns). The damage with the UNSC grenades feels a lot like the Reach grenades, only Halo 5’s are even more bouncy.
