"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." - M. Jordan

I think for a game this far set in the future there would be a grenade like this. I mean I was wondering if anyone has had a topic about this. I think it would be a good idea. It wouldn't be unreasonable to throw one in your base near the flag and not have it go of because your team has like something in the suit that won't allow it to detonate.

Think about it even if they back fired. It would make your team have to communicated more, and with the head set being used in System link (probably) and certainly xbox live it would be possible. What do you think?

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

Remote controlled ones would be fine as long as you can't do anything before you detonate the grenade. Proximity anything would just be cheap and throw off the balance of the game.

remote charges and mines are fine by me, but proximity grenades shouldn't be in there. one, if you throw the grenade too close to yourself, tough luck, you die for your mistake. plus, if halo 2 is anything like halo, the only way to throw it too close to yourself is throwing a grenade right at a wall or at your feet. plus, it doesn't have to be all futuristic. i mean, halo 2 is in the future as well as halo, but halo still had a pump action shotgun...

Escape will make me God.

You will have the option of moving some fusion cores near the flag. Pop a cap in one when the enemy grabs the flag and watch the carnage ensue. Of course, it won't automatically detonate, but if you designate one person to watch the flag that could be a very good defense.

The only type of "Proximity" device I'd want is an anti-vehicle device... Specifically kills vehicles....
