In Response To: One Minute Opinion Episode 1: Pulse Grenades (CyReN)


: In this brand new series, members of The Halo Council will give their
: opinions on a variety of topics. In this episode, Clicked will be talking
: about the Pulse Grenades in Halo 4 and how he believes they should be
: changed in the upcoming title update. Do you agree or do you have your own
: opinion on this subject?

I agree that detoation-on-impact with a player would be a great improvement, and I feel that not having this feature was an odd oversight.

But I think adding a slowdown effect on the grenade would make it extremely overpowered, especially when you take into consideration the fact that the player would likely be getting shot as he is trapped in a bubble that's already draining his shields. A deathtrap that can be deployed at any time? No thanks.


I also disagree with Clicked and SonGoharotto's opinion that the grenade isn't useful in matchmaking. The pulse grenade is an extremely effective tool when wielded correctly; despite not really playing Halo 4 in over a month, I'm already on my Master commendation for Pulse Grenades, and that's just direct kills with a PG. I couldn't count how many enemies I've killed while having used a Pulse to drain their shields/health. You have to think of it more as equipment than a grenade, and use it accordingly.
