I was just wondering if they would be. Would be a cool little bonus feature. And I mean shoot them and they blow early. Also, will they be on more of a timer this time like if you throw one way up in the air will it wait to land to explode or explode in the air? Thanks for any info.

It should be like Goldeneye for N64...shot the grenades while they hold them and they blow up in the bad guy's face.

I am sorry if you don't like. I just want to know some Halo 2 stuff. I think my question about when do they explode is valid and I would like to know.

Grenades don't explode early. The spartans can throw so quickly, you wouldn't be able to hit it before it hit the ground anyways, and there is no point to it. None at all, there is no strategical advantage to shooting grendades.

Vella, I think you could use plasma nades very neat by shotting them. Also are you saying they wait to hit the ground before they explode like in Halo?

I do not think grenades should explode when shot when they are already activated... I do think it'd be great if greandes just lying on the ground could be shot. For example, if you melee an opponent, he drops the grenades he had. If you hit one of the grenades with the battle rifle or sniper rifle, they would blow up. Could be used like a booby trap in chokepoints, or just for quick-thinking people in firefights.

A little off-topic, but I think shooting rockets out of the air would be nice. Like when you are looking through a sniper scope and see this fiery ball slowly getting larger, hitting it with a bullet would be a neat way to get rid of it.

Plasma Grenades only ever explode when they are stuck to something, Frags only explode after they have bounced once.

If you shot a frag on the ground, it would have already had to have bounced once, and would likely blow up in the same time it would take you to pull the trigger anyways. It cannot explode in the air, it has to hit the ground first.

If you shot a plasma on the ground, it still wouldn't do anything. A good throw would have already stuck to the enemy, and anyways plasma wouldn't explode if shot.

There is a technique where you use one plasma grenade to shoot another into the air, so it explodes mid flight.

Okay Vella thanks. Souds about the same as Halo. I guess these gernades are kinda smart (won't explode untill hitting something). Ones on the ground would be cool to shoot and make some more sence. Shootable rockets would be cool though they do go a little fast. haha have one coming at your face and you try to franticly shoot it with an SMG that would be cool.

Yeah the rocket idea is good, I like the idea of a LAAG gunner being able to take out rockets locking in on the 'Hog.
