Subject: Silly Grunts Can't Stick Me!

Why is it that no matter how many plasma grenades are thrown at me by grunts there is never a single one that actually sticks me? Has anyone else noticed this happening to them? They hurl and hurl their little hearts out but, nothing ever sticks! It really stood out during my firefight session with catch on (basically unlimited grenades from enemies) today and there were Plasmas all around me (about 15) but, non actually stuck! Now don't get me wrong they did do major damage due to proximity explosions but, no sticks. Either grunts can't aim or they just simply can't stick characters through programming. Thoughts? Explanation?

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

I believe on the lower difficulty settings, the stickies don't stick.

I'm not discriminatory. I don't like any of you.

I'm fairly sure that on easy and normal they can't stick you. On heroic and legendary they can.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Just Easy, on Normal they stick you.

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

I was playing FF on chasm 10 on normal or heroic (i forget which one), and a plasma grenade literally bounced right off me. I had never seen it happen before.

It happens sometimes I noticed on rare occasions running straight at one once caused it to bounce off. Probably the grenades are hitting at an angle and deflecting.

Thinking with Portals since '07

Battlefield 3 sucks.

well on normal a brute throw a spike grenade at me and bounces of at his ally.

This has happened to me on Normal as well, with both plasma and spike grenades (flames still explode,) but does anyone actually have a clip of it?

Exactly.
Give Heroic a spin on Firefight and you'll notice a dramatic difference in the Grunts grenades sticking abilities.

I'll tell ya. In addition to being an accurate throw on heroic and legendary, them little jerks sure have an arm on them too. I've seen some start chucking stickies as soon as they get off the ship, and I've seen them connect too. Sucks for the guy on the receiving end of that toss.
