I was just thinking, that Chief has super enhanced reflexes, correct? So why not make there are 3rd "grenade" type. Its icon would be a hand and it would have inifinite ammo. Basically, with this selected you can catch/pick up and disarm any grenade that has been thrown as long as it is within 5 feet of you and close to your crosshair. Any caught grenades are added to your inventory, and if there is no room left the caught grenade is thrown back again (whether you're ready to throw it or not).

You couldn't pick it up and disable it... The only thing you could do is like kick it really fast. Because you wouldn't have time to pick it up.

Imagine how much more depth this would add to the grenades is multiplayer. I mean, Halo already has the best grenade system of any FPS, this would only make it better.

actually, Team Fortress used the same ingame grenade system... Using another key to throw a grenade instead of switching your weapon to throw one...

I personally don't think it'll improve anything...

I'm a Moderator and I am sick of this SHlT. It's people like you that destroy the beauty within these forums. You are defiling my years of hard work in the Moderating business here at New Mombasa, and I want it to -blam!-ING stop! I don't want to ask again or I will be forced to ban certain individuals.

Canoli, you're not a mod. You're a little -blam!- with no friends bringing your teen-angsty crap to the Bungie forums.

Do the world a favor and remember to cut DOWN not ACROSS.

Even if it's unrealistic... I mean, use your imagination - the frag grenades could be disarmed by a magnetic field in the Mark VI that prevents the explosive core from detonating, and the plasma grenades obviously have pressure-sensitive buttons - hold it down and it won't stick. That's how they throw them without getting stuck in the first place.

Yea, but the point of this ability is that you would be able to keep the grenades for later use. Also, I like the melee idea. I'd like to see it implemented at the very least.

There is a problem with grabbing grenades out of mid air.

Q. What is the most common grendae thrown at you in game?(not including mulitplayer)

A. The Plasma Grenade

Q. What does this grenade do to targets?

A. Sticks to them and explodes.

Simple as that. Plus I think it would add too much complexity to the Halo genre.

Good thought but I would not agree with that because if there is a plasma grenade it's going to stick to you isn't it? But that still is a good idea. But think about it if you weren't ready to throw the grenade then you may throw it onto a marine or another friendly...
