Subject: Why does the communtiy want grenade spamming in the game?

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

Today i officially announce my retirement from Halo multiplayer, because of one thing. Grenade spamming. And before you say 'grenades are tactical', how are they? How is spamming the left trigger tactical? Its just cheap kills, and annoying because it cancels out all the damage i did to them with my gun. They got outplayed, so to save themselves they are just like ' SPAM TEH LEFT TRIGGERZ AND ARMUR LOCKZ SO YOU DIEZ HERP DERP'

Another thing i have noticed is that 99% of the community insists that grenades should be in the game, and the only reason i have seen is that 'it's been with us since CE'. So what? What if armour lock was with us since CE?

I am generally curious, why does the community want grenade spamming in the game?

spiral out

You have grenades, too.

But yeah, I kind of agree. You should only spawn with one grenade. Also, 343 should nerf them somehow in H4, whether they make the fuse longer or they decrease the radius. One thing they need to do is get rid of the health system, that way you can't get killed by 1 nade with full shields.

Nades are needed for two reasons: campers and people that run.

They're not that hard to dodge, but they're easy to get mad at.

Keep reading, its not getting any better!

Dodging Grenades is easy. If you see someone throw a grenade and it lands near you run so minimize damage done and you will probably get away since their grenades can hurt them to..

Grenades while yes are usually spammed, it is smart to use them to your advantage to weaken the enemies so that you can get them down with minimal damage and help your team on at least weakening another enemy..

Try looking up the word tactical...

Two makes there more than speakers.

Grenades should be in the game. It's just that this game wasn't built and balanced properly for them to work the way they should.

Incessant grenades do get annoying, but they are no reason to quit.

Just use jetpack and fly over them? Unless a frag directly hits you have a chance of escaping.

The only reason it's bad in Reach is because they are way too powerful.

Grenade "spamming" was not a problem in H3.

The problem isn't too much damage. The fuse is too short and player movement is too slow. Add a pathetic jump height, and Reach grenades are nearly unavoidable.

Grenade "spamming" only seems worse because reach is a slower game with slower kill times... (easier game)

OP: Kids like easier things

I know i could spam grenades back, but i find it more fun to use my gun.

And i agree, Reach movement is too slow and the nades are too powerful. Nade spamming was annoying in Halo 3 but at least they were easier to avoid.

Hopefully Halo 4 will have a grenade free playlist
