[color=lime]There have been a few times where nades come flying at me and I would want to melee them out of the way but alas, punches go straight through them.

Did you know if you shoot a rocket directly at the oddball it will fly straight to you?

I would like nades to work in a similar way, if a nade is thrown at you and its in range of your melee attack it would be awesome if the nade would ricochet back at the thrower.

It could give a spawning person a fighting chance first of all, and second, you would have to think twice about cornering someone.[/color]

Tell me what you think. If you don't like the idea then don't reply because this post is everyone else.[/color]

Aint the new grenades blow on impact? So you want them to blow off your arms?

Well, it isn't a bad idea, but don't grenades bounce off of you in the first game, I'm not sure... hehe... maybe in H2 if you hit someone with a grenade directly they suffer from some damage : )

Edit: They are not impact. To the person ^above^ me.

Plasma sticks to Spartans trying to punch the grenades. Covenant only throw plasma, so I can't see how this would help anyone.

The new nades are timed grenades, not impact grenades. It was said in an earlier update. So now if you through one high enough in the air it will blow up, in Halo 1 they HAD to be on the ground. It makes it so pros will be pros.

Multiplayer. But I don't get why you would have to melee, wouldn't the grenade just bounce off you... or perhaps it would just be smarter to run if you know that far in advance that the nade is coming?

[color=lime] sometimes they bounce off me, but they land like 5 feet from me! Just think, nade flies at you, you melee, and throw a nade right after....now 2 are flying back at enemy. Ohh yea and I'm talking about multiplayer, thats what the situation is that I wrote in. This could work with those brute shots too! Also the nade melee'ing would be forgiving, you know how your cross hair tracks enemies? id be kinda like that, if a nade is within a foot of your arm it would connect and arc back at the thrower [/color]

It most likley wouldnt work on brute shots. They may be nades but their still plasma.

I wish you could cook the nades before you threw them like on Americas army. On Halo you could justhold down the button to throw nades. It would be that easy.

[color=lime] i dont think brute shots are plasma, i think they are like mortar-type guns for bigger nades.[/color]

No. These are all wishes, but they are unfeasible.

What if you are holding a two handed weapon?

What if you are dual wielding?

What if your back is turned?

What if they're on the ground?

What if they're plasma?

The only way that would ever work is with frags, when you are holding one weapon, with one hand, when the grenade is thrown so close to you that the fuse is still long, when you are looking at the enemy. No, none of this is useful, the conditions would have to be perfect, and even then it would still blow up in your hands.

Good players will never throw a frag at you anyways, they'll throw it at the ground in front of you.

[color=lime] yea i guess your right, it doesnt happen too often where I think it would do well, however, if it was possible, why not? You wouldnt have to push any extra buttons..just melee.[/color]

They are grenades that are launched if you could melee them away then why in FS did a SPARTAN die because they were hit directly in the abdomen? Their energy shield is stronger than their guns metal, plastic, and rubber. It would fry your gun.

[color=lime] umm...I dont know...I guess it would work the same weird way you are able to flip tanks with no arms..[/color]

Exactly, your gun would fry to nothing if a Brute shot goes right through energy shielding and their under armour. I would rather dodge it. You flip tanks with no arms is just the game, it dosnt have the animation for it. Duh.....
