I don't understand your point - blast radius is a huge factor here. Unless your opponent will accomodatingly stand right on the grenades as you throw them. One of my favorite tactics in Halo was to get someone to pursue me and leave "tricklers," grenades just bounced off the wall as I rounded a corner so they'd be hit by them. They'd come flying around the corner, shields down, and I'd finish them off. Now - with the lower blast radius and higher jumping in Halo 2 - this tactic is nearly meaningless. Any good opponent will just bypass your grenade and kill you. And if all you have is an SMG and grenades, as happens when you spawn on a Live game, this is all you can do. Throw that grenade and hope. The new grenades do have uses, particularly when thrown into groups of enemies, but as a weapon against a single opponent who is engaged with you in a firefight, they are not good. They certainly do not BEGIN to compensate for the lack of a second weapon right there in your hand. That's my point. |
