Wimpy?
Frag area damage is -blam!- huge
Plasma will destory anything near it
Spike sticks to anything and shoots at crazy angles.
How is that wimpy?Because Halo CE was the best evar and you know it.
Actually, because of changes in movement, jumping, health, variety in weapons and grenades, and amount of these weapons is one of the main reasons for the damage "downgrade" in these explosions. Oh, wait. There is no downgrade if you really look at it.
In fact, the difference in explosions is purely cosmetic. Grenades and rocket explosions still pack quite a punch, the similarities between splash damage radius' are pretty close, and the differences in these splash areas are probably somewhere around a quarter to a half of a foot larger/smaller. Don't tell me that this half foot makes all the difference either.
Besides, the look of the explosions fits the style and palletization of the particle effects in the games - it gives the game a clean and consistent look.. The amount of damage that these weapons do is good for the gameplay as well. Rocket launchers aren't meant to be nukes - powerful, but not uber powerful.
