Can you lift them, move them or throw them? Can we reposition them at strategic points so that we can shoot them when our enemies come around a corner?

If you can carry one, can you throw it and shoot it in mid air with your other weapon in something sort of like a dual wield?

Can you suicide melee by hitting someone with the core and breaking it?

Can you a throw a grenade in the midst of them and see them fly apart before they explode?

-S

Fusion cores can be moved, but not picked up. There was a player during the demonstrations at E3 that pushed some nearby cores to the edge of one of the turret balconies. He found out that dropping the fusion cores will make them explode as well, as he dropped them on the heads of passerby warthogs. Boom.

Since you cannot carry the cores, you cannot wield them like a weapon or throw them. When they blow up, they don't fly, just like blowing up a pile of grenades.

Cool. Thanks Shiska. Once again you rock.

Now I can consider new stategies. It's a shame you can't pick it up and carry it with one hand and throw it short distances. The drawback would be that you'd move more slowly and you couldn't draw a second weapon while you were walking with it. I'd have loved to heave one up into the air and whip out that unrevealed pistol which is rumoured to be coming and blow people to smithereens but I'll settle with rolling the core around a tight corner for the Warthog to slam into.

*grins* Too bad I couldn't share that idea with Frankie and the team. It would be a nice surprise for the vehicle about to mow you down to have one thrown against his bumper (and likely suicidal for the thrower but still it would be fun!)

*lol* You're right... uhm... errr... Stupid...?

Damn that would be sickly balanced. They'd be far too dangerous to use. I really like that.
It would be a funky animation too. A Spartan or Elite moving along, dragging the core in the dirt.

You'd have to hurl it like a giant sack of potatoes with a wide exagerated swing and anyone and everyone could see it coming.
