From Halo 2 to Halo 3 there was a dramatic change on the trajectory of a grenade being thrown. When I changed from Halo 2 to Halo 3 my grenade throwing was put right off. So i was wondering, will the trajectory of a grenade being thrown change again?

...I didn't notice any difference.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.

Same..i didnt know they changed it in halo 3. The only difference i've heard so far is that you will be able to hold 3 granades.

About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.

But really am sweet at heart. =)

I doubt it , they use the same engine

  • 07.05.2009 7:14 PM PDT

Just because they use the same engine doesn't mean they can't change the grenade throwing.

  • 07.05.2009 7:16 PM PDT

The animation seems to be longer IMO.

Well why their at it why don't they fix the BR, or the melee, make the Brute armor the Halo 2 style....etc. Its not as easy at you think to modify an all ready made engine. Bungie commented in an update saying the reason the Brutes don't use the old Halo 2 armor and the guns are Halo 3 is because it would tale years to change the engine.

Edit: I know, the BR isn't in ODST.

It's "Gashnor", not "Gashner", there's an O in there.

It looks like, from the gameplay I've seen, the ODSTs throw more of an arched grenade whereas Spartans throw more of a straight, powerful grenade. I don't think 'nades will go as far, and they'll take a bit of time to reach the destination.

If you have both Halo 3 and Halo 2, try comparing how far a grenade will go. You'll find that when you throw a grenade in Halo 2, the grenade will drop faster to the ground

I saw that, too. It looks like the ODSTs throw their grenades over slightly longer distances.

no in odst its 3 grenades to each type

  • 07.05.2009 8:05 PM PDT

Trust me, i'm a Orbital Drop Shock Trooper.

There isn't really a "change" its just the amount of grenades, because if u notice in the second trailer the rookie hs 3 frags and 3 firebombs

Wayne Jarvis, Attorney at Law; I have a responsibility to tell you that there is no candy in this office.

Yes, Bungie said somewhere that you don't throw grenades as well as Master Chief.

  • 07.05.2009 8:10 PM PDT

I prefer señor Legendary Member.

Roadhouse.
I have seen the powers at hand and I can honestly say I am not ready

I would assume the trajectory would change because ODST's don't have super human strength like MC did.

Oh come on, that's far from truthful.

I was thinking the same thing.

Charge...BACKWARDS!

It has changed. Since the ODST is weaker, they have a weaker throw then a spartan. So, you have to throw your grenade higher then you normally would.

And, if you watch this videos, it proves this.

You throw underhand in ODST.

<(0_0<) <(0_0)> (>0_0)>(>0_0<) .

The only difference i see in ODST that is different about the grenade throwing is the fact that when you throw a grenade you can see your whole arm swing to throw the grenade.

I'm going to guess that it would remain the same, since it is on Halo 3's engine there wouldn't be much point in messing with it, they would pretty much just have to copy and paste the coding.

And if you think the change was dramatic from Halo 2 to Halo 3, try Halo 1 to Halo 2. That was quite a change to get used to back in the day.

no change in trajectory but in some of the screenshots it becomes obvious that you can carry more grenades (at least 3 of each instead of 2)

Although it may be true that it has changed (I don't know for sure) the reason cannot be because a Spartan is stronger. Master Chief does not chuck it with all his might in the game. If he did, the grenade would not only be lethal when it is detonated, but it would become a lethal projectile also. I am pretty sure an ODST could throw a grenade the same distance as Master Chief does in Halo 3.
