I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

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.
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.


What he said. It doesn't seem as if the MC is putting all he has into throwing the nade, but the ODST probably is. Haha, watch some war movies and soldiers will yell and/or grunt really loud when throwing grenades far.

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


You could also try that with halo: ce and halo 2. In CE you could launch grenades much much much farther than in either of the others.

It appears to be longer to throw it but im guessing Bungie will tweak it abit.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

The biggest change for grenade trajectory was Halo 1 to Halo 2. I didnt feel a difference between 2 and 3.

You throw underhand in ODST.

lol...

Anyway, I think Halo 2's grenades were slower and lower. That's why it's easier to stick someone in Halo 3, by just walking up to them and throwing a grenade right in front of them.

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


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.[/quote

Grenade throwing modification is incredieasy. I've done it in Guerilla (their property editing program) before; all you do is change the velocity value to be lower or higher. You just can't download it to an existing game without recompling the maps.

I think grenade throws might be shorter

The Forumers built Halo to destroy all life, so the Flood would not consume our forums.

In Halo: 3, marines, elites, ODSTs, brutes, and grunts hold onto grenades a second prior to throwing it. Will the Rookie and the other members of his squad do so as well?

im not sure i think it would be the same way of throwing but not as far as odst have less strength than the master chief also the only changed i have noticed from the trailers is that you can hold 3 of the same grenades not two.

from the game play it seems like you throw them higher and straighter
