Re: Aren't Spike Grenades basically Plasmas?

In Response To: Aren't Spike Grenades basically Plasmas? (RyanTheHeretic)


: I've been thinking about the spike grenades lately, and to be honest, I don't
: want them to return in Reach.

: To me, they just seem like glorified plasma grenades. The big difference is
: that they stick to all surfaces, instead of just things that can die/go
: boom. Is that really worth the additional development time, coding,
: graphical effects and grenade inventory slot?

I'll just comment on this first argument. Seeing as how the development time and coding has already been put into the Halo universe (and presumably could be ported over to Reach with minimal additional work) wouldn't it make more sense to continue using them so all that time and energy doesn't go to waste?

I feel like that's a poor argument to use to reason spike grenades being removed from Reach. If you're asking Bungie to re-design spike grenades, that would actually take more development time and coding than simply leaving them the way they are.
