In campaign (Halo 1) when a ‘nade would go off all surrounding ones would go too. Should that be a new multiplayer feature? I’m not sure if this happened in halo 2 or not. I know it wasn’t in multiplayer though.

Because there is not an “Unlimited Grenades” feature in Halo 2 (and I assume Halo 3), do you think the groups of 4 grenades should detonate with near by explosions?

No it was not in Halo 2 and I was dissapointed to see so. You should be able to shoot it and make it go off, would add great elements to MP, throw a grenade into a group of people and shoot it in mid air.

I know you can shoot frags in mid air.
It's hard sometimes, but I've done it.

That may only be with the sniper.

The unlimited grenade option was exclusive to Halo CE. But I think that shooting/grenadiering/rocket lauching at a grenade should detonate it. And you should also be able to shoot grenades and rockets out of the air, or at least deflect them.

I can shoot a moving ball in the air, but I want it to explode when I do. I understand it isn't realistic, but this is Halo, shouldn't be too hard for Bungie to put in.

It would also be pretty sweet if you could shoot it while they're still throwing it.

First, let's all be clear on this:

It was in Halo 1 single player.
It was NOT in Halo 1 Multiplayer.
It is NOT in Halo 2 at all.

Either way, I really wouldn't care too much..

You can in H2. Just shoot them with a BR or Sniper and they go off. Althought it is so annoying and they should fix it, the frag grenades go off or plasma grenades make frags explode in the air which turns Halo into a some what RPG. It would be nice to see frags and plasma's do what they did in H(make other nades on ground explode) instead of the air.

Now THAT is an idea. But Bungie would have to make it so you have a grenade priming time so you would be able to.

Ah, look at the lonely people...

It was in both game's campaigns, actually.

And, I think any weapon that fires bullets (and the carbine) can blow up a nade. I blow 'em up with the shotgun sometimes when bored.

The only thing is that if sombody dies... the 'nades they droped can't go off with of the 'nade they died by. That would be a huge problem.

Ok, if there was a huge pile of bodies in a small room like the green room in lockout and a grenade was thrown everyone would die. Even though that would be crazy sick, it would be too powerful making a 'nade chain blowing everyone out of the sky

Well, maybe only the first couple explosion will be credited to the person who started it. But it still happens with you thorw a lot of them. Or if you're having a granade war. If there is more than one grenade in the air.. they all go off.

I clearly remember many videos from Halo 1's campaign using lots of grenades to blow the warthog to tops of towers and such, it was in all aspects of halo 1...halo 2's plasmas are like this...i think...ones that arent in their original spawn i belive...and frags cn be shot out of mid air by a BR as well, and frags denotate other frags if they have already both been activated

Would a grenade really set others off? I really don't know the answer, it just seems like if it's covered with thick steel, an external force wouldn't have that much effect on the other grenades.

I figure that if they can be shot out of your hand they should be able to at least get blown up by a grenade if they are scattered all over the floor. They would have to make it so that you could only set it off with a nade while you are still alive (seeing as how grenades that detonate after you've died are extremely weak). A rocket would be able to set it off at all times. They'd also have to make it so that grenades dissapear a bit faster than normal to avoid abuse. Oh, and one more thing; the nade chain effect IS in Halo 2 (campaign) try sticking yourself or a Grunt that had more than one grenade. You'll see multiple explosions.

I hate when that happens. Most of the time I'm just like WTF?
Then I realize what happend. You should be albe to launch them
farther too. Like take a few more seconds (hold the button) or
something. Is it just me or can you throw them farther in H1?

They are abut the same after the first patch that was released...but if you aim up...*shockingly* it goes farther...unless you aim too far...you just have to aim correctly...

I know. I can throw Halo 1 grenades and get sticks across the map. I suck with Halo 2 stickies. And I'm not dumb. I know how to throw them far... I just think you should be able to launch them like from base to base coagulation. If the chief can jump a meter (might be more) stright up wearing 1/2 ton armor he can throw a grenade 400 yards.
