Play Firefight and a grenade in Reach won't do that much harm to a GRUNT, but throw a grenade with someone with full health on Reach and you will KILL that person. (Frags of course)

But let's compare H3 grenades with H:R grenades.

Plasma grenades on both games did not change so drastically, so we wont talk about them, though if you want to discuss them you are free to do so.

FRAGS -Halo 3 Grenades are like ping pong balls,they are small and jump everywhere. They do the necessary harm no more.

FRAGS -Halo Reach grenades are like bowling balls, they are really heavy for H:R spartan AND make a huge blast radius making strikes everywhere, they do more harm than the really necessary.


So, after you saw these comparisons, what are your thoughts?

The world is bigger in scale on Reach. Therefore bigger grenades with bigger blast radii are called for. I like them both. I prefer Halo 3's. :)

"I like knowing the space between my ears is immeasurable."

IRL kill radius on a frag grenade is 15 meters. Wounded up to 30. That's like someone throwing a frag and it nearly killing everyone in radar range.

Needless to say it could be worse.

Maps are not big enough to support them.

But they also have less bounce like you said, and from what I can tell more drag when they're skipped on the ground. So I'd say there balanced.

On a side note, I wish the Halo 3 grenades made a louder whirring sound like they do in Reach. And I love the flares that trail behind them. Also I think it's cool how you get deafened by them as well. Adds another strategic element.

If the world is bigger then why is running speed reduced?

But this is not IRL.
If everything in the game had to be like it was in IRL, DMR would have a full auto mode.
Sounds fun right?

Nice, even though I do like grenades, H: R grenades are just... huge

Omg i hate the halo reach grenade!!!
70% of the death is by grenade!!!

  • 11.03.2011 8:53 PM PDT

I am from Mars, that is why I wear red and was issued the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/M variant helmet, was also issued the experimental version of the Camo unit, that is why i have the Recon shoulder. I excel at CQB, hence the CQC shoulder. I have trained extensively with operation of vehicles therefore the armor on my left side is more substantial and the GPS navigator. the ODST chest is because I was embedded with a unit from the 105TH for 7 SpecOP missions, I have a great respect for them

to the people who say grenade are NOT OP. i did the math and i die TWICE as much by grenades in Reach then H3. tell me that make sense.

i have my own hypothesis about that too. the game give a free grenade just before you die too much. i cannot tell you how many times i have headshoted someone only to have a grenade pop out their dead body. i have some screenshots to show what i am saying.

They could be Kamikaze grenading?

I remember when, back in H3, I always used to keep a grenade handy if I was rushing, so that if I was baout to die in CQC I could chuck a final grenade to drop the other players shield enough for my tteam to clean him up.

Common tactic.

Feel free to send me messages, please be willing to wait 6-8 years for a reply.

1-7 hours if you at least tried to make it readable.

Immediately if you are Yax, Telec, or legendary.

Never if you are mythic, you guys smell funny.

They would not be as annoying as they are if they where not spammed to the point of abuse.

Reach grenades have a larger area of effect. Think that is why they hurt so much.

Did this sound better in your head?

Halo 3 grenades take more skill. There is a smaller blast radius and you have to compensate your arc on them.

Reach's are point and pull = death.
