"America, the world no longer looks forward to playing you."

I think the Russian made something like this in WW2. They cover a grenade in metal. When it explodes, peices of shrapanel flies everywhere

when they said spartans, plural, they were talking about multiplayer, KP even came on here and said so on the third page about 1/3 of the way down....

While I have no idea who this KP person is, I reread it and guess he might be right. However the "In the UNSC’s limited encounters with the spike grenade..." comment still leaves plenty of room for confusion. Unless Bungie calls themselves the UNSC around here. I dunno, I'm new.


KP is kind of the guy who posted the information. He works there.
And the whole thing wasn't written in UNSC perspective, only part of it was.

So yeah, everyone PLEASE stop saying "More Spartans! More Spartans! YAY!"
because that still has yet to be proven.

I can already hear the "pros" crying about this new nade.

"It takes no skill," is what the major complaint will be.


Well maybe grenades can be prematurely detonated. Like after they land you could shoot them or throw another grenade. There has to be a downsize to this grenade. Maybe it isn’t effective against vehicles. I mean it shoots out like spike things. A plasma or a frag I understand damaging a vehicle, but tiny spike things?

If a Spike Grenade or any other grenade is thrown at a glass window, will the glass shatter? Because if a Spartan or Covenant soldier hurl the device with their great strength at the glass, it should break.

It didn't in Halo 2. Which is fake.

But whatever, nice update on the Spike Grenade!

i looked at the pic and saw 4 nade types, did you notice that the spartan in the pic had an AR, so maybe there are two variants of the MA5C one with a nade launcher and one with a flash light. does antbody besides me see a possible connection there?? anyone? anyone at all?
or.... it could be a flash grenade, sonic grenade, OR AN INCENDIARY GRENADE OMG!!!!!!!!!

Yeah well the spike grenade sounds almost like it could take its tole on almost any enemy, will these grenades like be rare too find during combat cus I think it will be funny to watch it destroy an enemy in a very painful way.

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


that is unless they explode possibly.


or could somehow do both at once fufilling the physics rather than blow up and stay in place

absolute nonsense that they'd make different weapons with different variations, it's just not part of the Halo style, that'd be more like PerfectDark via the dragon(grenade launcher) or mgs(single shot or 3round burst)

Cool. I never said anything like "More Spartans! More Spartans! YAY!" though.

I just said phrases like "In the UNSC’s limited encounters", "Our researchers have discovered", and "Our soldiers" in the bottom half of the article still seem to be written the UNSC's perspective. Though it's probably unintentional since I guess the dude who wrote it says otherwise.

Yeah, that last part of my post wasn't technically directed at you. You're right, the whole thing is technically supposed to be UNSC, in which case I could understand the confusion, but I think it verges off from that sometimes, just for a few sentences, such as in the "spartans" case. But yeah, KP disclaimed it, so that part must've been unintentional.

I have always wanted something similar to a claymore in halo, but nothing that reacted exactly like a claymore, a spike grenade is perfect.

I love how bungie makes weapons to have multiple purposes instead of cluttering the game with 30 weapons that come down to everything halo has

Dont get too wrapped up in the Internet. It's already forgotten about you.

Yep, check it out.
Already a few haters of the spike nade alive at the MLG site.

Honestly, I am a HUGE MLG fan. I love watching those guys play. It's awesome.

But when will they learn that H3 is NOT going to be H:CE?

My God... enough already!

Not to be randomly paranoid, but did he say SpartanS? As in plural? That's interesting....

Oh, and there are some great references in there. "What, like a spider?" lol, Red Vs. Blue. Not a helicopter was a good one, but why couldn't Bungie just show a close up of the grenade? :(


I think you can see it in the brute documentary.
somewhere around 4:26, 5:03 and 5:41.
