Should you be able to blind your enemies?

You know how when you get a torch shon in your eyes in a dark place, you get semi blinded and will have to look away unless you have super sonic pupils that change super fast. Any way, when you get to those times when grunts and or elites tracking you down in the dark, have them be able to get blinded from your torch when you jump out for a suprise attack. Master chief won't get effected ofcouse because all those drugs n' stuff he did in training.

I doubt it from what Ive read at this years E3 there was no torch, but that might be added later. Seems rather stupid to give the elites torches now and take away MCs. But the idea although interesting just seems a bit far fetched. Sorry.

Not keen on that idea. Though i think there is some kind of stun grenade [flashbang]. Cos the ODST soldiers in the single player demo throw a grenade into a group of grunts that stuns them and makes em go all dazed and 5hit.

I hope there isn't a stun grenade. Bungie did take into account that there are thousands of different grenades, each doing different things. But when making Halo they decided to stick with just one Human grenade (the fragmentation) and one Covenant (the plasma). I think its a lot better because it makes the game unique.

Who wants different grenades: one that explodes, one that stuns, one that makes smoke, one that chokes the enemy and one that incapacitates the enemy when you can just have one that explodes and does a hell of a lot of damage.

I'd hate it if Halo 2 looked like it was the love child of Halo and RS3. It wouldn't necessarily suck, but it be crapper than if it was an all new Halo.

A grenade is a grenade, lets leave it like it is. The fusion pods seems to be the new weapon. Roll them to the place where you want them and blow crap skywards. I would like a remote mine though. Before you say "that's crap", read on.]

Stick a mine to the vehicle and get in. If anyone hi-jacks it off you do the following:
* Watch them smile and drive off, thinking they've pulled on over on you
* Smile and press that all important button
* Watch their body go skywards!

I know that it doesn't take much skill to press a button, but it would be a cool feature.

Also, remember, Halo 2 will most likely have a checklist-type weapons choice. So its easy to take off.

If you notice in the E32003 (Single Player) movie, one of the marines shouts frag and clear, then they toss the grenade in. Frag grenades now have a sort of stun effect to them (or so it would seem), as shown by the grunts hopping around blindly when the MC mows them down.

maybe there is a part in the game with tons of covies, and in order to get by, you have to blind them all.

Stuuning he enemies with a flashbang would be pointless. We are trying to use LETHAL mthods to get rid of the Covenant, not NON-LETHAL to save them. They all need to die. Besides M9 HE-DPs now have a stun effect to them every time they are used and fail to kill the enemy. So either way they are dead/wounded/blind from a single grenade type. Flashbangs and smokes are just stupid for the killing action that is Halo.

If you had a mine on your own car, wouldn't it blow you up if a bullet hit it? I'm not an explosives expert but that seems a bit dangerous to me. Also: wouldn't it blow up if you crashed it against a rock or something?

In the book he threw the mine like a frisbee, which was cool.

I like the stun idea...but I would rather have a sharpnel..just so you could get more of a damage radius. I never heard anything about a remote plasma...But a Shrapnel nade would be kinda of sick for clearing rooms..instead of stunning them. But I will take Stuning..

stun grenades and flash bang grenades are TACTICAL. without tactics u r nothing. try playing counterstrike against people who use flash bang grenades. plus the stun grenades are probably silent and should be used in a stealthy way
