To anyone who's played Halo 2 @ E3 or to those who might have read something somewhere, is it now possible to shoot grenades that are just lying on the floor? (and then they blow up, obviously) It would be a great realistic addition I think, not top priority obviously, but a nice touch nonetheless, giving that added feel of a totally interactive environment.

well to shoot grenades i think you would need a grenade launcher, and there isnt a human one yet. however the gun that the brutes have does shoot a special type of grenade (that is if the gun they use is the gun they use in first strike), so hopefully we will be able to use that in halo 2

I knew id forgot to ask something!
Do nades pile up after someones death, so that you can set them off for one big blast!
I was worried bungie might no have included this option as i read somewhere that barrels and other objects cn be used for explosions.

Of course halo has so many new features, i wouldnt mind if they didnt include this detail, but i imagine setting traps would be good, and im sure you guys could come up with other uses for this. Like launching warthogs and ghosts at the enemy on the beaches.

I think you misunderstood, halo ruler, i think he means can -you shoot grenades that are lying on the floor and set them off-, -not can you shoot grenades out of a gun-

an explosion would set one off - shooting one isn't a huge leap... don't see how useful it ould be though, apart from the one off thrill...

In halo 1 you couldnt blow up the grenades in multiplayer.

L337? I thought mad gamers got over the spelling without letters thing a long time ago.

The hacker version of elite.

I think they should make the grenades explode when shot. When someone is running to them, shoot one, setting off a chain reaction. As well as warthog launches in MP, like said before, you could rain down Hogs on the beach head in Zanzabar.

But that's what Halo's about isn't it? If you watch the 'making of' film a developer says it's about repeating the same 6 seconds of fun gameplay over and over, being able to shoot a grenade I think will be hilarious. Melee attck a marine, run off, snipe, wait for the Covenant and just pull the trigger!
