Uses of the Sticky Detonator?

Sticky Detonator

So here is a simple question. How do you plan on using the sticky detonator? This gun allows for creativity and Im curious to see what everyone plans on doing with it.

Personally I want to stick it to teammate vehicles and kamikaze! >:D

simply put, I plan on not using it. As it is now, it can in no way bring back the feelings I had for the grenade launcher. it was my favorite weapon of any halo game, and its successor is in no way like it.

Seriously, I’ll try it a bit. But I can already tell that it won’t appeal as much to me.

Grenade Launcher had no appeal to me personally, the detonator really appeals to me.

I am not sure how I’ll use it. I did find it interesting however that if you stick someone and you die that the detonator is still capable of detonating the expolosive…I wonder how that will play out.

for Machinimas:

Step 1: Have a Machinima.

Step 2: Have four characters defend a position.

Step 3: Have all players (16 preferably) grab Sticky Detonators, place them all at a spot where the enemies will charge.

Step 4: Have enemies (12 players) swap out their Sticky Detonators for something else.

Step 5: Have enemies charge towards the defended position.

Step 6: When the enemies reach the trap, have the four characters blow up their Sticky Detonators, causing a chain reaction, killing all the enemies.

Step 7: End game, save film, record, edit, and watch the fireworks :smiley:

Definitely doing this eventually! :smiley:

Could even use it for a charge of suicide enemies. LOL

… however, for gameplay wise, I’ll just stick the Flag/Bomb site when defending. only purpose I can see for it.

I would use it strategically. Meaning, I will keep the Sticky Detonator in my weapons equipped, while I have a weapon to fight with. Then, once I’m being chased, I plop it down in the path of my enemy chasing me, then SHAZAM! Trap for the enemy…

It’s really supposed to be for that, but doesn’t mean it can’t be for fun too. :slight_smile:

Another way we could use it is to set it on an objective, wait for the mark, then easy kill.

Camping mostly, I’ve not really seen many videos so I don’t know how it works exactly. Do they stick to any surface? If so, that’ll be a blast.

Stick to Flag/Objective. Wait for the announcer. Explode it.
Stick to vehicle. Drive to enemy, run away. Explode it when they take it.

And of course, sticking it to walls/ceilings and baiting an enemy with a free assassination.

What still worries me about the detonator, is that if anyone will fall for a loud beeping noise…

If you move towards it and notice the sound getting louder as you approach, who’s to say that the person wont walk away from the noise. I’m interested in using this as a setup weapon.

I’m looking forward to sticking ceilings as no one ever looks up. :slight_smile:

Dude, I bet I’ll use it just like I did the grenade Launcher in Reach, shot the guy as he runs past me, and watch him jump into a hog with his buddies. XD

I mostly use grenades to cover my retreat, so I’m going to use the Det for that, most likely. I don’t think they’re as viable to air detonate as TF2 stickies since it’s one shot and reload.

I’ll use it the same way I use grenades - tactically kicking butt.

I plan on doing some hardcore vehicle trolling.

  1. Sneak by enemy base

  2. shoot enemy warthog with sticky

  3. Wait for enemies to drive away in said warthog

  4. blow it sky high

Not to mention the flashing light lol

1.place transport vehicle next to my our flag
2.Shoot said vehicle
3.wait for enemy to get in with flag
4.BOOM!

that being said… it will in no way replace the Glauncher in my heart.

Trolling. What else? :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m assuming that I’ll use it in the same way I use a Plasma Grenade, but mainly in an anti-vehicle role.

Sticking someone with it then wait for them to run back to there teamates then blowing it up.

Here is a scenario where I would use it in ctf:

  1. Shoot flag with sticky detonator.
  2. Leave to help capture enemy flag.
  3. Here announcer say “flag stolen”
  4. Pull Trigger >:)
  5. BOOM!!!
  6. Bonus Step- get multikill or accidental betrayal with enemy death. :confused:
