Is there one feature regarding grenades that Bungie actually managed to get right?

1. Plasma grenades clearly missing their target but changing their mind and deciding to defy the laws of physics in order to attach themselves to someone's face.

2. Both frag and plasma grenades have a blast radius that rivals the Covenant's glassing.

3. So Randy's double pummel failed him? Not to worry, he'll take you out with him suicide-grunt style.

4. A commendation that encourages people to get grenade kills? That's almost as ridiculous as a commendation that encourages people to perform a fancy 3-second animation where there is a chance that the kill will be stolen by a team-mate, which is also encouraged by rewarding the team-mate with a fancy medal for doing so.

5. Spawning with two grenades in most gametypes ensures Randy will never need to use his gun.

6. Those bad kids who go 2-15 on Countdown with ToD Frag Grenade. We all know the ones. Yet another argument showing how even garbage noobs can obtain kills if they resort to nade-spam.

Complaining about it fixes EVERYTHING. Of course.

You've never heard the expression that it's healthy to vent your frustrations as opposed to bottling them up and exploding like a grenade yourself?

You must be living under a rock.

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

That and hitting your couch with the controller and causing it to turn off.

Even if you evade as a grenade lands at your feet, the blast will still strip your shields for some reason. Evade only seems to work as it should in MLG due to the speed at which you 'evade' away.

I really don't care.

I love it when my plasmas defy the laws of physics because I get interesting/funny/lucky/insane kills with it.

I disagree with all of your points, OP

I'd refer to your 0.68/ToD Melee and point out that your opinion is irrelevant, but you'd probably get upset and say that K/D means nothing.

The reason I like grenades is because i'm good at doing two things. Killing people with them and not dying from other people's mediocre grenade usage.

I hate to say this, but Adapt.

Can't let you evade that grenade, StarFox.

You know what's funny? Back in the days of the Beta, bungie said they had made grenades easier to see and to hear so you could dodge them easier, when in fact they made them easy to see and hear because of the 50+ ft explosion radius and the fact people spam them at the slightest hint of danger.

Thank you Bungie, I can definitely see those grenades now due to the explosions and hear them because of the self replenishing boxes of nades all players seem to have that I don't.

Thank you.

I think your understanding of spacial relations is off. And trust me, if those bottomless boxes exist, I sure as hell haven't been issued one. If I had been, I would have the highest K/D in the damn game.

This.


I seriously can't accept the fact that Bungie thought this game was a good game.

  • 12.23.2011 10:13 AM PDT

Solution: Armour lock... wait.

  • 12.23.2011 10:15 AM PDT

How did I know you were going to check my K/D and then rant about it?

I play for fun, not for points or scores or anything.

I am good and I am also bad. This community has enough -blam!-s like you who tackle people down by pointing out there K/D.

It's Reach, it has it's flaws. The good's and the bad's.

I play Reach because it's an overall fun game. I have a low K/D, so what if I die a lot? At least I don't cry about it when I get blasted by grenades and then rant about it on bungie forums like another -blam!- in hopes for the problem to be solved. No one gives a -blam!- about your opinions

You clearly do, or else you wouldn't be here.

  • 12.23.2011 10:18 AM PDT

I really don't but obviously I like to give my opinions too just like any other human being.

  • 12.23.2011 10:19 AM PDT

His post seemed interesting, hence why I replied. But he turned into those -blam!-s who tackle down people's K/D

There are just some times in the game, when I can not truly believe the one guy behind the hill is throwing all the nades that are currently exploding near by. So I theatre it,and sure enough he is.

And then there are times when I've done all I can to avoid a grenade, and the goddamn explosion still kills me or takes out most of my health.

Granted, sometimes the nade was stuck to my feet, but other times I was just too far away. We're practically talking double or even triple the rocket explosion radius here.

Also, why do frag grenades in Reach stick to some surfaces like glue randomly, then bounce off them when you try to apply this logic to gameplay? Example,

"Oh no an enemy is around the corner, better bounce a grenade over there, *sticks to floor on the first bounce*"

"Alright, this guy is chargin me head on, better stick a frag to the floor so he steps on it, *bounces behind the oncoming enemy*

Uhh, Halo 3 nades back plox?

When hear the whistling sound of the grenade coming at you it's about too late to do anything. Never run forward when a grenade is coming from behind you, it will blow you to the next galaxy. Best thing to is stand still or step back.
