Anyone else notice that your throw with a grenade in ODST is significantly more of a range than Halo 2 and 3 as the Master Chief?

It certainly throws off my game play when I want to stick someone and it definitely makes it hard to adjust to.

I like the ODST dynamic more, but it is difficult to make the transition...

It's not range. The whole system has been completely changed. In standard Halo, your grenade flies in the direction you aim at, so you need to aim up to adjust for gravity. In ODST, the grenade is thrown in an angle that makes it land where you aimer is pointing at. So you need to drop the reticle to the enemies' feet.

I'm watching you.

I know exactly what you mean. I wish that they would have just kept it the same. It can be really hard to judge.

You're right, correction for myself the max height arch that your grenade would go is a bit ridiculous still, I find it hard to believe Spartans don't have the energy to throw like an ODST let alone Elites as well.

The max height/range is also lower than that of standard Halo.
