this is probably old, but i was watching the gameplay trailers this morning and i noticed that the ODSTs can carry 3 of each grenade type. they show this right at the begining. why can't chief carry three?-

No pockets. Seriously, he only has a little belt thingy, ODSTs have a rucksack.

ODSTs have grenade belts/pockets. I'm surprised the Chief can have any grenades at all. He's got no-where to put 'em!

I don't know. Other people noticed. I still think it is one of the pros of being ODST

Edable - Not to be mistaken with Edible, you cannot eat me unless i am in pie form, which only happens once every 371 years

He can, play Halo 1 or 2, he can carry 4.

In Halo 3 you can carry two because they changed it for balancing, i'm not sure why they've increased it again.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?

most likely to balance gameplay. they can't dual wield, after all. and ODSTs tend to drop pretty fast.
It could also be that you can only carry 8 grenades total, as it's been in Every Halo. But oyu can carry up to 4 of any kind.
So you could have 4 frags, 1 plasma, 2 spikes, and 1 flame.
Or 3 frags, 2 plasma, 1 spike, and 2 flames. Or 3 frags ,3 plasmas, 2 spikes.
get what i'm saying?

chief cant hold 3 of each cuz he can hold 4 with that little magnet belt thingy so he could just put grenades all ofver his body and charge. ODST have rucksacks and well thos r smaller i guess

MC
-shileds so he can charge and kill without dying
-altered body and suit so he can jump higher and take more damage with less consequences
-dual wield
-2 of each grenade type
-no pack to hold extra items, etc.

ODST
-Not as great shileds
-no altered bodies, more vulnerable
-will have to use health packs
-bag to carry extra items
-can't dual wield
-3(?) of each grenade type
-uses stealth

yes three, i'm not full of sh*7 watch the ODST gameplay trailer. when they show the first person view of the rookie(i think) jumping out of the drop pod, you can see on the HUD he starts with 3 frags then after a quick edit you see he has 3 frags and 3 firebombs

watch this at 00:29

Christ, and here I was hoping they'd get rid of the grenades or make them much rarer, as they thoroughly ruin multiplayer when the things become a carpet and every newbie just throws them non-stop.

Alrighty guy, settle down. I saw the gameplay footage as well and saw the same thing you did.

I'm not saying your FOS, I just put '3(?)' because I wasn't sure if we'd be able to carry a max of 3 grenades or 4 because it hasn't been confirmed yet. I just wasnt sure if it was going to be more than 3.

fortunately for you this is refering to the new campaign. The MP is not changing.

Your grenade limit is there only to balance the game. Your don't want people having ten of each type and turning this into a total fragfest, do you? There is a lot that is in the book that was not iterated in the games, like how Chief tapes a twelve-pack of frags to his thigh, or that he usually uses a rucksack.
