Subject: Plasma Grenade, Fragmentation Grenade, whats next?

How about the keep the two-grenade system that has been around for both games and worked brilliantly? Here's a good rule of thumb I think - if an aspect of gameplay didn't change between Halo and Halo 2, chances are it's an integral part of Halo and should be kept regardless of awful suggestions.

Some sort of napalm grenade would be awesome, nothing funnier than a bunch of Grunts running around in flames setting each other on fire. I modded one into the Halo PC campaign (effects/burning/large) and it was pretty entertaining.

I think the current two nades are fine. however, if they wanted to add one...i'd say smoke grenade.
1. evasion. someone said someting about halo being a run-and-gun rather than an evasion game, but if you have a sniper and i have a SMG, i do believe i want to get out of there.
2. distraction. lets say im trying to capture the flag, but its defended by 4 people. throw a smoke grenade and run out.
3. marking. "sniper at left, marking with smoke" *throws smoke grenade* that guy would be screwed.

The most lgical would be an EMP grenade that disables,
but does not damage vehiclesfor a certain period of time.
Smoke grenades would also work well , but might be frustrating.

this is just an idea, but how bout a needler grenade with all the needles flying out and impaling peeps in a certain radius? i think that would be kinda cool

Eh?

How bout you read the friggin posts first because the needler idea has been brought up a dozen times already...and Yes i agree that smoke grenades would make the game much more tactical but..thats not really halo is it...tactics...more like random yelling about where you last died...not really tactics.

UMMM... I think that if thay had a needler grenade, then theyd also need a emp grenade, i dont know why but think about it itd be like th noob combo grenade style, first you lower their shields with the emp (like a plasma pistol) then take a needler grenade and finish em off (like a br) FUNFUN

Each time someone stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. That hope is three little numbers: 1 - 1 - 7.

There is hope in us all. We gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face. We must do the thing which we think we cannot do; stand with the Master Chief and Finish this Fight!

People, people, people and erm sheep, I know you are all eager to change some things that are fudementals of us loving Halo 1 and Halo 2 but maybe just maybe the system does indeed need to be upgrade.

Looking at Ghost Recon one can change the rate of you fire of the gun you are carrying. Noe takin that into consideration I would love to see that in a new grenade system in Halo 3, maybe having a Sling-Shot Frar/Sticky Grenade or maybe even have a proximity fuse on a Shard Grenade where milions of tiny little sharp pieces of mettle is launched in all kinds of directions, making swiss cheese of any amour it impacts.

Imagine the chaos!

smoke grenades wouid work well because in some games when people see smokes they think that its covering an enemy advance well then a good tactic would be throw a smoke on one side of a building and run in the other and bumrush um

also the EMP grenade is cool too but not to lower shields but maybe just make the HUD go black for a few seconds

Not black, but fizzy for 10 seconds and maybe a hissing noise over the com channel!

I like the EMP idea!

what i think would be cool, it you could be the player but somehow if you had a nice hd tv actually like if you were hit by a flash bang, you as the actual player would go blind and possibly deaf if you had your speakers high enough... yeah fun till someone sues

Even if you an Elite and had a sniper rile, you could not zoom in, or with any weapon for that matter.

Your Aiming mechanism would disapear and bullet count, (maybe your shield being affect too, to a small effect) and all you are left with is a hissing sound over the com channel and a fuzzy sort of sketch look on your screen!

All of this in a duration of 10 seconds!

dude it is halo.. not james bond

tldr: Reach requires maintenance

I think that a human smoke grenade + a covenant plasma flash grenade would probably work well on the larger scaled battles/maps when you have greater than 12 players.
