The Mythic Threads (Halo 3) (ODST) (Reach)

If you watch the videos, you'll see that the grenade is getting lobbed when thrown, this is a difference from Halo 3 where you had to actually look up and throw to lob the grenade. Gameplay wise, it's worrying me seeing as we'll have to get used to throwing grenades closer to us in a different way and sticking someone could be hard as well.

But my eyes may wrong so you tell me, do you see the difference in ODST when throwing grenades?

EDIT: I also noticed that the ODSTs moan after a grenade throw, really cool.

I saw no difference whatsoever.

Yeah, ODSTs can't throw as far as Chief in Halo 3 from the looks of things. I noticed that too.

it seems to me that the animation has been improved.

more like he is throwing the grenade, not like he's whipping his hand out, and there the grenade is.

I would definitely say the grenades travel slower.

What? No.

Same speed.

it seems that the grenade traveled higher than where it was supposed to go if you were a spartan. If you notice, he is aiming right at the Jackals feet.

To me, it looks like he's rushing to throw it.

Just what I thought, he's throwing it up trying to get the grenade to land further away or something.

Watch the video when he attempts to stick a brute with a plasma and tell me it doesn't travel slower. Sorry i don't have the link. The grenades also are more arched in their trajectory.

Is it the scene where he successfully sticks a Brute with a Spike Grenade?

No, it's another video. And it's with a blue plasma grenade. I'll try to find it.

  • 06.04.2009 10:01 AM PDT

It looks a lot more like the Halo 3 grenade throw.

Pleas do, I've never seen any plasma grenades being thrown by the player in ODST.

I was talking about this stick, from 1:30.
