It's certainly a unique idea, although it would require very advanced physics to work.

Good idea, but it would be totally unfair and would make the gameplay horrible. What might work though is that it "stuns" you like getting hijacked out of a ghost for a few seconds. Though, it wouldn't be in matchmaking, or if it was it would spawn very rarely. It could also slow down vehicles for an amount of time too.

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?


What about a gravity pulse grenade, does not deal any direct damage, but it will hurl vehicles and enemies in a fashion similar to the gravity hammer (even a scorpion/wraith).
>D
for instance a scorpion can be annoying at times, your team dosnt have power weapons, so you chuck a pulse grenade at it and it gets hurled a hundred or so feet away

or you could use it too freeze doors shut on vehicles so you cant get in or out temporary, and if there driving it freezes the steering in the position you had it in for a few seconds

Not a bad idea. I have a way to make this work. Ever play Mass-Effect? There's an ability call stasis that freezes an enemy. He can't attack you, you can't harm him in any way. Mod that. The grenade flash-freezes everything in a very small radius, though players are totally frozen. When frozen, they can't do anything. The ice acts as an extra 2 layers of shields. As grenades and bullets continue to hit the frozen player, the ice chips off. After losing X amount of ice shield, the player can move again with reduced speed until all the ice is gone (phase lasts 4-5 seconds, it's short) before returned to normal strength.

This is a fair way to do cyro's They give both people and advantage and disadvantage and they have a purpose i.e. freezing vip's or flag carriers.

I'd love to see the physics on this. Slip n' Slidin' Warthogs!

Ha. i had the same idea and i made a thread of it to, but nobody ever replied to it, lol but i had another idea, when enemies jump to you, you can throw it and will freeze them, making them collapse to the ground, freeze should only last for 5 seconds then it will break away.

I think that it would be better as an equipment instead

Nah, just some good chemistry.

It slows down gameplay...I don't like it.

  • 10.29.2009 7:16 AM PDT

Ladies First

i really sounds awesome dude, no sarcasm
though, i will think it will be way to overpowerd.
like in matchmaking
trow one in the enemy team, then just frag away and you have an overkill. it will be to overpowerd i guess

  • 10.29.2009 7:22 AM PDT

it could work like when you get hijacked from a vehicle (obviously) for a couple of seconds afterwards your movements are slowed to a crawl.

  • 10.29.2009 7:27 AM PDT

If it is like the brute fire granade campaign and costom only then fine if 4 marchmaking it should just freeze on direct contact like a sticky then it cuold be kinda sick but if u cud freeze some one by throwing it next 2 them like a frag it would suck and ruin the game
