Alright im assuming that 90% of the people here have seen the E3 demo...again and agian. The thing im going to be writing about is the grenades. Who here thought that the grenades in Halo one were MUCH cooler looking? When the chief throws his grenade at the three from the ledge above them, it looks like a firecracker went off, it barely looks like there is any debris. Reasons for this could be:

(Best case) The grenade exploded over pavement, that is why there isnt a lot of dust kick-up, or they just dont have all graphical features turned on

(worst case) they downgraded grenades to make them more realistic or something uncool.
However it turns out im positive Bungie will always make the right decision, and I know Halo 2 is going to be an AMAZING game.

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

The best case sounds good to me, thats a detail that Bungie would add.

YOU CANT SCARE GRUNTS SPARTAN, they are fearless soldiers with nerves of iron and b@11s of steel! the MC is in fact trembling in his MJOLNIR suit at the site of a grunt, for he knows that a well trained grunt is a lethal killing machine waiting to go of...it is a matter of time before we all see the grunts fury!

January 30, 2004 (Warthog's Day)
The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

Or that was a year ago and they did not have that programed yet. Also a grenade should have less dust when used on concrete than dirt, just like in Halo.

I know what you mean. A lot of the explosions didn't look very big but I'm sure Bungie knows what they're doing.

-S

You missed the real reason:

The E3 demo was done with an alpha build of the Halo 2 engine, and many components, textures and animations included, were missing or nonexistant at the time.

This is the same reason for the Brute that just stood there and waited for the melee combo after hopping off the warthog, the demo was not complete.

funny

Actualy in the first book a ferocious group of 5,000 grunts charge fearlessly towards blue team. (1000 to one odds, no wonder they charged fearlessly)
Then the spartans blew the crap out of them with the lotus mines

sweet

How would downgrading the grenades be more realistic? If you threw a grenade at your feet it wouldn't make you jump higher, it would blow off the bottom half of your body.

hey mabee it is because they created a completely new engine for H2
Therefore the old granades might not have been used in the new E3 demo
