I dont know about anyone else but honestly how many people actually use Spike grenades and Incendiary grenades?, if bungie are going to stick with the same format of 4 different types of grenades and two of each kind they will FAIL. In my opinion i think that they should just go back to Halo2's style and just have 2 different types of grenades and 4 of each (Just Frags and Plasmas). But that system was tailored to the way the game was played and the same goes for Halo3. So what i am asking is that would you rather have Halo3's Grenade system or Halo2's?.

I'd like them to make the spike grenade more useful and unique and the flame grenade less laggy and broken from a balance standpoint, but otherwise Halo 3's system works, but hey, Reach could break the mold and require a new style of doing things.

Honestly, the first thing I that irritated me when I went back to Halo 2 from Halo 3 for the first time is the grenade spamming. So I like Halo 3's better.

I would however like to see the spike grenade gain a little more splash damage, I thought it was perfect in the Halo 3 Beta.

I would agree with you on that one itt was more deadly in the halo3 beta and bungie made it weak in the release game so its not going to kill you unless you get stuck or you wer literally standing right on it, otherwise you would not die, so i think not as many people use it because well.... its pretty useless.

I'd prefer 2 grenades in halo 2 really.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Flame grenades need to be Matchmaking approved.

Change Frag Grenades to Concussion Grenades (less damage, more "push" against players and vehicles)

Spiker grenade spikes react to the surface they hit (embed in soil, ricochet off of metal/ceramic/concrete at different rates)

Increase Plasma Grenade Shield damage, decrease Plasma Grenade health damage

Be able to set the amount of grenades you can carry per gametype, 0-4 each.

i think bungie should mix halo 2 and halo 3 grenade system and add a few more kinds of grenade

An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it.

To me it'd be fine if you were guaranteed a kill if someone was standing in it's cone of fire. I've had players walk right through spike grenade explosions without a scratch. I've even thrown them against walls and stood in front of the blast radius with no effect.

I prefer Halo: CE's grenade system. Just two, frags and sticks, an option in customs for infinite grenades, and Master Chief having the throwing arm of every quarterback in the NFL combined into one uber awesome arm. Also the ability to launch grenades off other grenades for insane distance was stupid awesome.
