I wonder what the chances of survival are if a Spike Grenade lands on the ground close to you... seeing as how the blast would shoot upwards, you wouldnt get hurt right? Maybe even if you crouch on time, you would be totally unharmed.

Ill bet these things are gonna PWN when it comes to launching vehicles in Halo 3!

Wow... that's going to make one kick-*** grenade. I was always the sticking "bastar" in Halo2. I can only imagine how depressing it would be for someone to be stuck in the face with one of those. Lol!

One thing not mentioned is time for detonation. So is it feasible to throw it at the wall in the entrance to Blood Gulch base or Beaver Creek base, and move out of the way so that your chaser may feel its wrath, or is the time too short to move out of the blast radius? etc.

What about placeing lotus anti tank mines on maps, like the plasma mines on containment via Halo 2? could that be a possibility to further make the map more tactical and explosive?

What's up? I'm Anthony, from Maryland. I play a lot of video games, too many. Enjoying the Halo Reach Beat right now. Also Halo was kind of my life from the age of 11-14.

The new grenade seems reslly cool and I cant wait to try it out, this may be a little off topic but I love that in the screen shots and videos I've seen of halo 3, the environments seem more open like those in Halo 1. I love the more open levels and I'm glad to see that there putting that open feature into the game. Good work Bungie !

I think bungie are showing off their sense of humour with this grenade.. and personally i love it... KUDOS to you guys!... also i agree wiv a comment earlier- sticking one of those bad boys to a brutes face (or another guy in MP) would be so funny :D

It's a bit like launching a pineapple at your unsuspecting mother-in-law at a buffet party, except she doesn't have a visor for the spike grenade to smash into first.

Ouch.

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Wow, these are gonna be fun.

I can't wait to see the first video of someone pulling off tagging the spike grenade to the sheild doors in snowbound and it blowing up in someones face right behind them!

Edit: however, the do seem like they will take quite a bit of practice to get good with. Perhaps moreso than the Frag or plasma did since its so specific in what it does.

“The casing is constructed of an unusual porous metallic compound. Shrapnel from the Type-2 reaches a temperature of approximately 270 to 315ºC and retains that heat for upwards of seven seconds. By design.”


From this I dehciper that Halo 3 will be released on Sept 9, 2007.

Hint: add it up, it's "By design".

Hey Fark if you want to see a close up go buy EGMs november issue and there is a pic on pg. 95, There you will get a good look at the nasty can openers on the casing too.

Yes, multiple Spartans, as in multiplayer.


Okay, I'm sorry but I'm confused honestly.

So Spartans as in multiplayer..........got it.
But the next sentence talks about "more tactful marines".
So either;
A) the mulitiplayer is in canon to the story to some degree, somehow.
B) the plain jane marines will be in multiplayer
or C) neither and there will be more spartans in the story.

One has to be true.
I'm going with A.

Dude when they say spartans they are speaking more or less about multiplayer, not just the story mode, hey there is a good chance that halo 3 will have multiple spartans in the story line, but i wouldnt bet on it.

It says "spartans" prefer. Does this indicate more than one?

Sure it does, but, we say spartans, meaning the effect it is going to have on your player in the game not talking about a story line here

Yeah, man I got that, but when was the last time you saw a Marine in Multiplayer or heard of Marines discussing the Spartan Skrmishes they do in behind the barracks where they respawn billions of times......like never.

I'm just saying it dosen't make sense.
