In Response To: Re: Why change the grenades? (Avateur)


: Latency problems. I always know when a grenade hits and kills me, except for
: when they literally just don't show up. Otherwise, saved films have done a
: good job of showing me exactly where it is. Why waste resources just to
: show me where exactly that grenade was when I went down? As for latency,
: it's like when you throw a grenade and it doesn't explode. Ever. Or you
: stick someone on the face, it lights up real bright, and then just
: disappears. I doubt the light will be fixing that unless Bungie finds a
: way to fix all of the nonsense host and latency issues, but I guess we'll
: have to wait until the final product to see.

: The beep that has literally done nothing to help you get out of the way since
: it's there pretty much the moment it explodes. Just looks like a waste of
: resources to me, or a way to cater to people who maybe aren't as good at
: the game, giving them a glowing indicator possibly from the moment the
: grenade is thrown.

: Now this is another good thing. Catering to people who are deaf or who are
: being considerate of others and have to play with the sound off so people
: can sleep or whatever? Makes perfect sense. Absolutely. Unfortunately,
: this update seems to imply that those were hardly the considerations in
: this matter, and that we're just trying to help people survive in a game
: where the goal to winning is getting kills.

: Again, it doesn't make any difference to me, but I think it's pretty lame.
: Some of the animations on the guns in H3 were removed from the Beta to
: final release because of resource consumption, but now the grenades have
: these things that appear worthless added to them. It just appears
: pointless.

I'll appreciate indicators if they are present in campaign and 20 grunts each lobbed grenades at me...
