The explosions in CE were great. The grenades were like little nukes, i loved chucking them into a cluster of grunts and watch them fly. The rockets and scorpion tank also had a very huge explosion/radius. NOW we are left with little 'Poofs' in our Halo 3 grenades. They barely kill grunts now. PLEASE bring back the old explosions Bungie!

Why? Chucking little nukes makes the game less fun. Especially as abundant as grenades are.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

The Halo 3 explosion is from a Brute shot not a frag grenade, but I know what you mean. I like the large grenades in Halo 1 because you had to lead with them, but I also like the Halo 2/3 grenades because you need to be good at timing still to pull off a nade+headshot.

I agree..

The grenades are very.... weak.

The Halo 1 frags had really good radius or AOE ( Area of Effect)

But, the Tank/ RPG (rocket) are AP ( Armor percing) which means they are low level explosions.. Which should be amor percing.. But they are not... Halo 1 and halo 3 tank/RPG's would do the same damage ( give or take slightly) to a halo 2 tank. ( I would say halo 1 tank but, vechicals in halo 1 had no armor)

However, the Halo 1 Tank/RPG are HE ( High explosive) which means they are better used vs infantry. But in halo "Tanks beat everything"
