Has anybody played XIII, well in that game there are grenades, similar to the frag grenades of Halo. The interesting thing about the grenades in XIII is that there is a technique to them, not just press-trigger-to-throw.
In XIII you press the left trigger to pul the pin and you can hold the grenade, that's right HOLD IT. There is a little timer that shows up and counts down to when the grenade is going to blow, I haven't played in a while, but I do believe it's like 5-10 seconds... I think 5...
BUT anyways... imagine if they had that in Halo 2... the new strategies and tactics available would be unimaginable... you could hold the grenade for a while until it's about to blow up then chuck it and have it explode right in the middle of a group of enemies and kill them all... rather than in Halo 1 where it clatters to the ground, they see it, and they run away...
or when you're being chased by someone you can hold the trigger wait until it's about to blow, dart around a corner and let it loose, then when they follow you BLAM they die...
It would be a great addition and it requires no extra button or anything just an expanded depth with grenades, since there are many people out there (not me) who are wizards with grenades, and it would be great to see what they could come up with...
Any ideas?
