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?
Then all I have to say is "umad?"

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Don't forget about frag grenades sticking to opponents. That's my absolute favorite.

Complaining about it fixes EVERYTHING. Of course.

Yeah, grenades are a joke in Reach. And if you're health is low, one grenade will kill you. What was Bungie thinking?

Bungie tried to justify the powerful grenades by saying that they'd be harder to find. But that is definitely not the case...

There is a reason why Reach got glassed; it sucks.

Even the Covenant hates it.

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.

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.


Stand still on a grenade? Is such a thing even possible?

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.


i find it funny that you complain about grenades when all you do is go into BTB with a full party and sit inside the banshee all game. as if that banshee bomb isnt overpowered. of course, you wouldnt complain about that because youre the one abusing it.

really though, quit complaining and just play the game. if you dont like it, look, no one is holding a gun to your head and making you play it. just go outside, play a sport, hang out with your friends, watch a movie- you dont need to be playing reach.

It will hurt you but I think running forward is worse.

Reach nades are dumb, they were perfect in H3 IMO

Protip. If you're low on health, find a health pack.

  • 12.23.2011 1:36 PM PDT

Agreed. I love how bad kids just run at me and throw 2 nades in my face. In H3 they would have gone past me or bounced back to them, but in Reach, they just fall down right by my feet and I die (jumping doesn't help, because of the terrible movement).

Sacrificing map control to find a health pack so that you wont automatically lose your next DMR battle to freshly spawning opponents never appealed to me to be honest. It essentially rewards players for dying, and in many cases, dying and respawning is a lot quicker than searching for a healthpack.

Just my 2 pennies.

Ok, in order:

1. It's called someone paying crappy money for crappy internet service and caused LAG!

2. Not even close. One glassing blast would destroy Sword Base, as it did in the Campaign. One Plasma/Frag does NOT do that.

3. If a double pummel fails, you would most likely die. Not throw a grenade.

4. I have a LOT more assassinations then grenade kills. Check here to see that quite clearly.

5. Spawning with only one grenade will only ensure you damage to that player. Two will only give you ONE kill.

6. That's the emergency plan to get kills. Don't like it? Go to CtF where kills don't matter.
