I'm wondering if you guys think it'd be a good idea to change the tint of the grenades that you have selected. For example in matchmaking i may be in the heat of battle and think i'm throwing a plasma but it ends up being a frag grenade. I propose the idea that frag grenades have a slight green tint to their emblem on the left hand corner, plasmas have a slight blue tint on the left hand corner, spikes have a slight gray tint, and the firebomb grenades have a slight red tint. The same for equipment, power drain stay the same color, bubble shield is a whitish color, regen is a green tint, grav lift is a purple color, radar jammar is red, the flare is yellow. This way my periphial vision knows what grenade I'm on in the heat of battle, or what equipment i picked up without losing concentration on my enemies. I'm sure you've all been in this situation and have thrown a grenade that you didn't mean to throw, regardless if it rarely happens if this idea was implanted it may stop it from happening.

Been there, done that.

This is actually not a bad idea. And I don't have much in the way of constructive criticism because you pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Don't hate... ...loathe.

I've thrown the wrong one a couple of times cause i thought i still had the type i was previously throwing. It sounds like a good idea.

I would only add that it should be brite for half a second or so when the type changes when the granade just being used runs out.

BYAHH

Small tweak but it seems like it would be effective.

Yeah i agree. we could quickly brighten up the grenade color, and then it fades. If anybody disagrees with this idea then i'm guessing you disagree with the secondary weapon flashing to remind you that it needs to be reloaded? I think this would be another idea bungie needs to implant in a game that although minor, would improve the gameplay a little.
