to be fair i dont think one argument for not toning down grenades is that people wouldnt be able to destroy vehicles in BTB. in halos past thats what plasma's were used for.

Ya but if they were toned down then even plasma wouldn't do enough damage to a wraith.

[WonderWombat]

The only time they were annoying in Reach was when the whole team threw them at you.

 

Frag grenades were just scare tactics or a hope to lower their shields quickly.

 

Plasma grenades were only really effective when they stick to people.

Thats another thing. Vehicles are hardly a credible threat. "Oh look, a warthog, Im gunna spam plasmas at it." Grenades remove the consideration for vehicles unless they are shooting at you.

[DoctorB77]

I think they need to work on the ratios of distance vs. damage for the grenades.

 

I think that they should have it so that the frag grenades have a shorter explosion radius but with a little more kick when dealing with vehicles. Stickies should have a larger radius with less damage but it should still kill you if you are stuck.

[Ryu♥Hayabusa]

Wait, the grenade indicator is in Multiplayer as well? I never noticed it in the vids...

Vehicles always represent a credible threat. As a self proclaimed BTB Ground Pounder (Anti-vehicle specialist) you must destroy vehicles like renevants and warthogs before they can set up a trap around the outside of your base and spawns.

I'm guessing you use armor lock?

[SatanicBagels]

Jetpack usually with an EMP or grenade launcher. Otherwise I try and get splatters in the ghost. I used to use armor lock, but jetpack lets you screw with vehicle drivers who want to splatter you.

 

[D-Wade]

Honestly, I'm hoping for fire grenades to make a return. The spike grenades weren't so useful and they remind me of those nasty brutes so no to the spikes. I am hoping for the spiker though

Alright. So they are a credible threat. But to a smaller degree then what they should be.
