SSFrog Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 The Promethean grenades are hilarious, has anyone actually died/got a kill from them? So much wasted potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FleshBack Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I got one on accident today. I thought I was throwing a frag and it happened to e a pulse grenade. Killed him somehow. I won't argue it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final Sentence Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 The Promethean grenades are hilarious, has anyone actually died/got a kill from them? So much wasted potential. I don't know what setting they changed exactly but when I played on the AGL settings with customs, they work the way they should. You use them a blockers as, if a player walked through them they were 2 shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FleshBack Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Making people two shot with the grenades is a different story when you're trying to actually get kills with them (for the mastery) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappehNinja Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I really don't see anything wrong with grenades... Of course, if you're facing 2-3 members of the enemy team, you're bound to see plenty of these. I only use them to dispatch "campers" and run-aways. "Nerfing" these would just give "campers" the upper hand. Specially since there's quite a lot of them that happen to have a boltshot equipped...

Jack Of Harts Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Using a thruster pack will allow you to get away from grenades easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FleshBack Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Also, I see a lot of people Jetpack whenever the are turning a corner religiously. That really makes me mad when I place a good Nade and they just fly over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T O lR T A Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I rage at grenades all the time. I get someone to a one shot... Guess what he throws a grenade, hides in cover and someone else ends up finishing me off. It is so garbage. Frags are stronger than they have ever been, and I've been requesting a gametype where it is 4 on 4 slayer, but NO grenades. Imagine that, someone will hate that, why you may ask... because they rely on grenades and they don't know how to shoot a precision weapon.

Cluegiver Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Grenades are also a joke because of the explosives perk. Great idea to boost the damage of grenades, but WAIT, not only is grenade damage boosted, explosive damage verse the user is also reduced. That is a significant change in gameplay. It creates so much inconsistency because you have no clue who has the explosives perk on...like they should be one shot, but instead they are 3. They throw a grenade nowhere near you, and all of the sudden you are one shot. I wish there was a way to indicate who is using the perk.

FleshBack Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Haha, I can't believe people are treating the grenades like they're the BoltShot. Since when has grenade use been considered "noobish"? And I know no one used the term, but it is being implied like people can't kill without them. "Woh, if they can't kill me in a one-on-one fight with a precision weapon, that guy MUST suck. They have to foil me with grenades everytime."

Hater Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 In previous Halo titles, grenades were used for tactically. The reason being is because their splash damage wasn't so ridiculous like it is in this game. You actually had to get your grenades in the right spot if you wanted it to do a lot of damage.

Loser #2 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 It is better that in this game the grenades are less weaker than before. As most of you guys have seen in Halo Reach the grenades were very powerful, but why not be grateful that they aren't as powerful as before?

Sadly Just AL Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I liked when Plasma grenades were used sparingly instead of today's system where you can fill a hallway with it. I loved in Reach when I throw a frag where an opponent would pass, I drop his shields and with a headshot, drop him/her as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian. Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 It seems like whenever I use a frag grenade it doesn't get a kill but when someone tosses a frag grenade near me when I have full shields I die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FleshBack Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 They are probably using explosives or you are being hit by more than one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Fuller Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 actually Halo Reach pissed me off more with grenades than in Halo 4. Never have i felt pissed with grenade spamming to the point I would have to vent on these forums LAWL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cannot use grenades and play against em then you need more practice, requesting a game mode that removes base weapons you do not like and saying others are bad players if they do not want it is silly. Most players who are good with nades will be damn good with guns, its somethins all Halo players learned second so they could beat a guy equally good with guns. Frags are supposed to be stronger, thats their thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE ZOMGSPOON Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Most players that I've seen using grenades frequently are those who are essentially conceding death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudDrunkIrish Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Most players that I've seen using grenades frequently are those who are essentially conceding death. I assume you mean the death grenade, well i first started using this constantly in Halo 3, its a case of if you are going to lose the gun fight why not try and take your opponent with you.. it stands to reason and I do it all the time (well in situations that apply). Its a good move and very gratifying to get a kill from the grave on the guy who just killed you. Its not a bad thing in my opinion, if you are used to it then you naturally react to avoid it, also to do it right takes more skill than one might assume. The grenade markers help stop this from being as effective as it was in previous games. Most players waste their grenades soon after spawn as it is so to get a death grenade is not as common as one might think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
