i was thinking about a grenade that freezes enemys and vehicles.

for example: say a ghost was about to splatter you, so you chuck a cryo grenade at it.
the ghost and the driver are frozen, but they still have momentum so the ghost skids and bounces on the ground until it smashes into a rock and gets destroyd into ice shards that eventually melt.

or you were about to get pulverized by a cheiften with a hammer so you chuck the grenade at its feet. it still has momentum so the cheiftan flys foreward and snaps its shins in half. (wich were frozen BTW)

i think its a pretty good idea, what about you?

it sounds good but would be tuff to balance in MP. you could just make a charged up plasma pistol do that.

ps- GHOST not gost

thanks editing now.

but for it to be balanced, well i was thinking it would take 5 minitues to come back in MP game but on forge you could change that.

That...actually sounds pretty cool.

I don't think that it would balance very well with gameplay, though.

  • 10.25.2009 7:22 PM PDT

ya just make it like the flame grenade.. sometimes in campaign, never in MP and ppl use in Customs alot

  • 10.25.2009 7:28 PM PDT

I am a whisper on the wind...

It would be cool also if it made a slight freeze spot on the ground, sort of like in ODST on Data Hive.

What's up? You can call me Phil. I love to play Battlefield 3!

That would be pretty cool! I think it would be like the fire grenade though, and wouldn't be used in matchmaking.

There no match making in ODST because then the ODST would be all like yo we better foo then the Spartans all be like No we better foo then the elites be all like Lets have peace then they shoot elm...but really it should of

Sounds pretty cool

thanks guys!

Its a trap!!!

Hmm i was thinking of an Electric Grenade that shocks people to death (would kill just as fast and flame nades) Wont damage a vehicle but can EMP them like a powerdrain. I just want to make some cool lightning screen shots to boot

It's pretty cheap, wouldn't be balanced in MP and, thinking logically, doesn't really make much sense to have as a practical weapon in the future. I weapon that causes convulsions through electrical impulses makes much more sense.

Creative, but not my kind of thing.

This is increadably stupid, Halo is sci-fi but its not that sci-fi, Its acualy pretty realistic. Freezing players is something some kind of asian PS3 game would do. Sound like some kind of yougamon attack...

There are many things that cold can do that electroshock cannot.

For example, Mjolnir armor is shielded against electromagnetic pulses so it would only disrupt the armor's force field temporarily. Very low temperatures on the other hand would make the armor brittle and highly prone to fracture when subject to any significant force. This applies to every material by the way, therefore a cryo grenade can effectively disable any device regardless of whether or not it is electronic in nature (common non-electronic devices include guns, small vehicles, and explosives).

Cold can also combat fires, very useful when your enemy's primary munition is high temperature plasma.

Plus it's not like the only way to supercool something is to dump a bunch of really cold stuff on it. Endothermic reactions draw energy from their environment in the form of heat.

KIA during augmentation procedures. Body not recovered ?

>>>WARNING<<< YOUR SESSION HAS BEEN LOGGED. SECURITY HAS BEEN DISPATCHED TO YOUR POSITION. CLOSE FILES IMMEDIATELY.

For campaign and customs i could actually see this as being a somewhat fun tool; although keep it out of matchmaking. Perhaps it could even be used on parts of the environment. Say an elite is hiding behind a tree or such; you throw the cryo grenade and with a single shot the tree shatters into several pieces leaving the elite exposed. Definitely sounds like an interesting idea.

Slowing/Stunning/Crowd-Control/Rooting-in-Place=NEVER in a multiplayer game. This is what makes games frustrating.

So, only campaign or custom games.

I like to derp and stuff. I have a YouTube channel~

Derp

I think that the idea of freezing people is a good idea, but through electric shock as opposed to flash freezing. Good concept.

  • 10.26.2009 5:15 PM PDT

As other people have mentioned, this would be near impossible to balance for multiplayer.

You know, every time someone discusses weaponized cryo-tech a bunch of people will jump in to say "electricity does the same thing better!".

These people are incorrect, they also often don't consider the year (2552 AD btw).
