I was versing my roommate 1v1 in Halo 3. All he did was spam grenades and said "it takes skill". And he's a level 50 in Halo 3 (supposedly, his account wasn't on my Xbox he was just playing as a guest).

When I told him to fight me with a BR he absolutely sucked, and the only way he killed me was with nades or through screen watching.

So is he right when he said nades takes skill when he doesn't have skill with a BR?

Pre-nading takes skill.

Carefully positioning your nades so they have maximum impact takes skill.

Spamming grenades does NOT take skill and I guess your teammate is a boosted Swat 50, probably a Colonel at best.

I admit some nades did seem placed well. But when he saw me he would throw every single nade he had until he ran out. And when he did, he ran to a nade spawn and got more. I just got pissed off and stopped playing cause it was just ridicoulous

"Team shoot the wraith!"
"What's a team shoot and what's a wraith?!"
"It means we all shoot at the big blue thing together!"
"Okay!"

If you spam out in the open, you're an idiot.

if you spam into places like sword room, you're an ass but it's sometimes the smart thing to do.

He was doing both.

We were playing on The Pit and we both ran into each other at the Rocket Spawn. He started tossing the grenades while I was trying to kill him with the BR.

Every time I'd try to get a shot off I would have to back up from the constant nades being thrown.

Grenades are easy to dodge, especially in the situation you described.

One of, if not the biggest things that annoy me is when you get into a BR fight with someone, then after you put 1 burst into them they try to throw a nade instead.

I don't know if this is because when they see me strafe they realise that I have some idea of what I'm doing and don't want to lose ( even though they probably wouldn't ).

But the real clincher is the fact that I'm always on yellow bar, which makes grenades ridiculously hard to avoid. On my screen I've moved away from the grenade, but it hasn't registered that I've moved yet, so on their screen I'm still right on top of it, and I take damage. Makes playing against nade spammers really annoying.

I could kill you with nades on guardian that you never would think of throwing.

I won 25 to 23. But when I saw his weapon of destruction, it was the frag grenade. Mine was the Battle Rifle.
