Re: Some thoughts.

In Response To: Re: Some thoughts. (SonGoharotto)


: I always assumed the grenade is primed 'off-camera' so using one is simply a
: matter of throwing it. Kind of like when you switch weapons. Master Chief
: takes out his second weapon, but you never see an animation of him putting
: away the first one.

well yeah, what I was getting at there is that basically the timer is enabled as the grenade is thrown, and it actually starts after the grenade hits something (and it can be delayed by which direction the grenade goes in after it hits whatever it hits)

: If a Ghost was barreling right towards you, anything less than a stick
: wouldn't help. But a plasma grenade blowing up immediately might save you,
: whereas a plasma grenade blowing up two seconds after you've already been
: run over, not so much.

I hadn't really thought about that, I'm just so used to having a vehicle coming right at me and sticking it right before it splatters me and getting kills from the grave.

: As opposed to being built-in, yes. Aside from an early level sequence that
: serves as training for the advanced jetpack mechanics, my intent is that
: using or not using a Jetpack would be completely optional. There are
: obvious advantages to just being able to fly over things, but there should
: be equally compelling advantages for sticking with Sprint/Evade, depending
: on what you'll be facing at any given time. This is something that should
: be more apparent once I get into the new weapons and enemy types.

So you'd have to pick it up, independently from weapons and grenades, and you'd have to drop it to sprint again? There's no way that'll work well. You'll have them left all over the place, but not so much that people will always be able to find one when they want one.

You cannot fall off the floor.
