except there are NO grenades at all, not even starting? This can also be applicable for TS/Rumble Pit/whatever Slayer variant you play.

*note* I'm not saying this is a good idea, I just want to see people's opinions.

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

No. No grenades would be removing one of the key elements of Halo.

1 starting grenade like Arena wouldn't help, the things are still nukes.

Don't tweak the number of grenades, tweak the grenades themselves. Same damage if you're teabagging the thing, but reduce damage exponentially the further you get away from it.

Like Halo 3 nades.

At least you understand why I posted this. I can only tolerate a few matches of Squad at a time due to the rampant nade spamming. If nothing else it would promote actual shooting.

YO I LIKE HALO REACH BUT THE GAME SUCKS DICK

no halo consists of shooting grenades and beat downs, you cant take out one of the 3 key elements to the game. but bungie did screw up all 3 with bloom grenukes and double beat downs.

ya swat is a modified version of halo, meaning you dont have shields, in default halo you have shields, which means grenades shooting beatdown

The grenades should be changed, but only slightly: One, less of a radius to combat the fact that Spartans are slower in Reach than in Halo 3 (or increase the Spartan's walking speed), and two damage to your health-bar does a quarter of the damage it does to your shields, that way it is still used to tactically strip another player of shields, but is not used to casually spam kill other players with the blast radius. To actually kill someone unshielded with a grenade should be right at their feet (zero to .3 or less meters away from the target).

i definitely agree with grenades being too powerful but i think that if a player is unshielded the grenade should kill the person from farther away then right underneath there feet.

Happiness is a warm gun

I don't think you've fully thought this through. First of all, because of sprint, this gametype would be the most slow, irritating and plain un-fun thing you can imagine. Why? Because of how EASY it is to escape battle when you have sprint, and without nades to punish over-extending or overly aggressive players you would just have players either: A. Sprinting up close for beatdowns or B. Turning around and running the other way.

Anyways, think before you post, this Blam! would be garbage

Like everyone said nades are an essential part of the game (killing campers, trapping chasers or just putting pressure on the enemy team). That being said, the spam can get a little hectic at times, which is why 1 starting nade would be the best solution. But then again, squad has much bigger problems than grenades like reflection, camo, guests and ar starts.

You don't know much about Halo's nades do you?

Thats how they are currently. Instead of all damage just completely dropping off after a certain radius, like Halo 3's. The damage gets weaker as the radius increases. The explosion radius is larder because of this.
