King of Winter Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 EMP grenades seem pretty pointless. You can bring down the shields of someone with a regular grenade and have a chance of killing them with the grenade too. As for using it against the vehicles, you have the plasma pistol.

That's the point, who wants to give up a DMR or BR or, gods forbid, a Carbine for a plasma pistol? Instead of carrying around the so called "worst weapon". I think it is actually one of the most powerful. But this gives you a way to use this effect without losing favorite firepower. We are fans, we have not played the game. We have no Idea how this really affects gameplay. We just have to see for ourselves one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Complete Loser Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 It's a sort of EMP(Electro Magnetic Pulse) grenade I'd guess it will be like the shield disrupter from H3 in a grenade form and has a 2 or 3 foot radius and damage's your shield over time and eventually make you a softer target that's what it seem's like to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on that it is very powerful, but you are not giving up any weapon. When you create your load out you have to pick a primary and the secondary, secondary being like the magnum or plasma. I doubt 343 is going to let someone have a DMR for primary and Br for secondary...that's just wrong. And if you use these grenades to have like a BR and magnum, that's just another combination of a noob combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This grenade allows you to keep your guns. Who knows, maybe you can only hold one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope if they do have a EMP in the game, they balance it well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-1609 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Look what I found BTW Anyone else noticed the new Promethean AR-like weapon used by the Knights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SykoWolf Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 The Promethean grenade, should use light in the same way that the light rifle does. Burning all those around a certain radius of the grenade. That would be cool Like if you liked this idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMP would not affect the Flood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sikslik7 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Hopefully this will be like the fire grenade in Halo 3, in the game, and campaign and forgeable, but not in multiplayer. Second, I believe that the EMP grenade won't be as good as we think it will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I agree with TsickSense, from what we have seen it is only in Spartan Ops so maybe it wont be in MM. But I still could have sworn the fire grenade was on certain Halo 3 MM maps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SykoWolf Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 It probably uses "light" to burn there enemies. Probably developed to fight the Flood, so it should be similar to the Fire grenade in Halo 3, only stronger i suppose, due to it being higher tech. Although it would have a small area of effect, so as to avoid people grenade spamming it............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Also to avoid grenade spamming is the fact that the only way to get more grenades is if you have the resupply perk...I think thats how it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SykoWolf Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 That doesnt sound too bad at all i hate grenade spammers. hopefully this will get rid of some noobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerribleTimbo Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 The more ways to handle vehicles the better in my opinion. Could also be used strategically at choke points or on chasing enemies. It would be kind of cool if you hit someone with it then they were slowed for a little (like how you used to be after getting boarded), or if it had the potential to kill weak people in it either from draining effects or from an explosion/implosion when the grenade wears off.

Man of The People Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Everyone ignores the plasma pistol until they see a tank, suddenly getting the plasma pistol becomes the number one priority. Where was the love when the tank wasn't there huh??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
