Re: Why change the grenades?

In Response To: Re: Why change the grenades? (InnerRayg) : So you never throw plasma grenades? The cool thing is, those grenades can stick onto people sometimes if they walk over them. They also didn't bounce very well at all before plopping to a hault. Now frag grenades get to light up like plasmas as little warning beacons? So why not just remove frags entirely from the game and stick with plasma grenades? The nifty thing about plasma grenades is that they generally don't work well when thrown from afar because of the obvious fact that everyone in the world can spot them. It's their sticky potential that makes them brilliant and worth tossing from so far away. Frags bounce all over the place, and if they can be seen coming from a mile away, they've just been made fairly useless from afar, too. It's all going to come down to how much they bounce, how long it takes them to explode, and if there's any real point to using them beyond close quarters combat (say from one end of cloak to the other in The Pit, as opposed to actually trying to use it on a map like Longshore). : This argument is ridiculous. It's not a waste of resources, it was a problem : that has now been addressed. People couldn't see the grenades and couldn't : tell where they came from. It is no longer that way. Now if they could : just stop them from bouncing all over the map. So people need to stop being blind, then. I've never had an issue seeing grenades unless there's some crazy latency problems. Or is this supposed to help people who still play on SDTVs that happen to be 13" in size and they're sitting about 15 feet away? I don't know about the rest of the world, and I'm sure there's maybe a couple hundred out there with a genuine grenade locating issue, but out of my nearly 6000 H2 games over Live and my nearly 7000 H3 games over live, spotting grenades has literally NEVER been an issue for me. I can name off plenty of things that have been issues for MILLIONS of people playing the Halo games that have gone unfixed or have led to more problems than they caused to begin with. Regardless, this light on the grenade being in the game or not is small potatoes compared to things they really should be working on. And my resources argument is referring to how weapon animations in the H3 Beta were removed for launch because they were either unnecessary or could have been used elsewhere. Maybe Reach doesn't need to worry about that, but I'm just wondering why the resources need to be wasted on something so pointless when it could be put to other things that actually matter and really need fixing.
