In Response To: Some thoughts. (Quirel) : Cooking off grenades: It sounds nice. If you're like me and can't stick a : stationary target to save your life, you could try for airbursts. That was the intent, yes. Frag can almost double as a flak grenade. : On the other hand, it's kind of problematic, fictionally. I always imagined
: Maybe there's a workaround, though. Maybe holding the button down on a plasma
Isn't that pretty much what I suggested? The timer on frag and plasma grenades don't seem to be set in stone. Typically, they explode about two seconds after bouncing off the scenery, regardless of whether you threw the grenade at your own feet or lobbed it across the map. In fact, the grenade touching something after leaving your hand seems to be what triggers the timer, not the actual throw. My idea is to 'cook off' the timer phase. Frags can now explode in mid-air (on purpose) and plasma grenades explode on touch. That means you can use a plasma grenade almost like a mini FRG shot, so even if you miss the stick, it'll explode against the wall next to your target. The trade-off is that you have to hold the grenade in your hand for a moment, which naturally prevents using a weapon. (Before anyone asks, that does't mean a 'one-handed' sidearm can be used in conjunction with grenade cooking, because that would be too much like dual-wielding. I think most of us would agree that it was a nice idea, but dual-wielding took away two legs from the Golden Triangle and Halo works better without it.) : Sprint Gauge: Yeah, it really takes up too much room. I've got a few ideas on
Once again, I did say that the size and style of HUD elements are only representative, not final. Could the Sprint Gauge stand to be smaller? Sure. With the parallax effect, it would look smaller in the final game anyway. The point is that I want to differentiate it from the Armor Mod icon; bar vs circle. That kind of detail would be hammered out by the artists and I'm more concerned with the overall mechanics right now.
