For people that tried to friend me: My setting won't allow me to accept requests, but I made another account, and as soon as I get it connected to XBOX Live, I might be able to friend you. However, this account I made will only be used for comedy like Machinima if any of you have Machinima. Have a good day. :)

Armor Lock is a noob tactic. Evade or Sprint is preferred, or if you time it like a ninja, use Drop Shield so the grenade bounces off.

Healthpacks are irrelevant for this forum. the topic is Grenades. Try wording it differently or explaining your reason.


It's a fairly simple concept tbh. I can admit there is a lot of grenade spamming in this game, because it works. You could get hit with a grenade go red in health and would a) have to hide until you find a healthpack b) Get killed by yet another grenade. The main reason you have to do it in reach is because of the healthpack concept. If the Halo 3 system was still around you would not need healthpacks and your shields would recharge and no one would complain about grenades all day.


Oh how wrong you are.

I don't hunt for a health pack just because I'm down a few bars of healths.

Grenades in Halo 3 weren't overpowered because *GASP* you could actually avoid the bloody things.

You cannot get away from grenades in Halo Reach unless you have evade or armour lock.


Well completly agreed but the thing is. You could walk away shield recharge and get hit with another grenade. So I don't see how I'm wrong. Take away healthpacks and the issue is solved for a lot of things. So do explain how I am wrong when you know I'm right. Making up another reason avoiding the real problem is not going to help. The real issue is the healthpack. You would not have to go get one if you had the older style of shields.

Keep Healthpacks and grenades, remove Armor Lock.

If you're at full shield a single grenade cannot kill you regardless of how much health you've got.

The problem is you rarely have a single grenade thrown at you and the grenades are so retard friendly that simply throwing one in the general direction of a player will at least take away their shields.

i think grenades should be minimized to where you can only die from them when you have no shields what so ever. It should take 2 frags to kill you, one shield and one for health. And the only way for you to die from a grenade is when you have no shileds. The current way its set up is that frags take out your shields and some of your health, and they should just make it so it takes out your shield

Well I often wonder though because if I grab a healthpack I have actually been killed by one grenade. I should find the video and show you. I just think adding more to the already random equation makes it more random imo. Take out healthpacks no more grenade issues.

But grenades are part of the golden triangle or some -blam!-.

Grenades have made me mad lately, cause I keep dying from them. But I can't complain, if a grenade is three feet away, it only takes half your shield down. At least Spartans armor being strong saves all my life 99% of my deaths. :D Some people just have good aim. XD

Funny, I thought you would be the one spamming grenades, instead you're against them.

Derp.

Though, it is waypoint. Matter of time before something that stupid gets suggested.

What a surprise coming from Apocalypse

That's stupid. Then everybody would just chase all the time since if someone is down a couple of shots, they literally have no chance of surviving the next encounter.

NO

He was referring to the grenade tree.

Disagreed, grenades prevent camping and add another strategic element to the game. In the hands of a skilled user they can have an immediate impact, but in the hands of a lesser skilled player they aren't nearly as effective.

Grenades in Reach have -blam!- physics and stick to surfaces they seemingly shouldn't (Reflection, Zealot) but they're not nearly the problem OP seems to think they are and definitely deserve a place in Halo and most other FPS titles.
