New Grenade Slot
Posted By: Oshovah <oshovah@telus.net>Date: 12/29/06 7:49 a.m.

Okay, for all people with the Art of Halo book, turn to page 115. Look on the right where it shows the three grenade concepts. Now look at the bottom one called "Supa_Double_Cap_Bomb". Notice its concavity. Now, take a look at this shot from the Brute ViDoc, specifically the granade slot on the right:

See the resemblance?

For those of you without the book, there's a little sidebar titled "Brute Grenade" and subtitled "Incendiary Grenade". There are three parts to it, one of which has a picture of a concave, white grenade with two dome-shaped caps at either end. It looks very similar to the icon in the screenshot. The only real difference in the shape is that the one in the book is slightly thinner. With it is some text that says "Flash and shower of sparks accompany all impacts. Cap slots emit sparks and light when grenade is thrown".

So, what I'm proposing is that this is the fourth grenade. In the ViDoc, Sheik said Halo 3 is about everything they wanted in Halo 1 and 2. They brought in the Mongoose, so why not this too? It's like the Halo version of a flashbang grenade.

This new grenade would change gameplay quite a bit. Say if you knew someone was coming around a corner, you could bounce the grenade of the wall, wait for it to explode, then run in with guns a-blazin' while the enemy is temporarily blinded. Or you could through it into an entrance where enemies are known to pile out of in groups and ambush them. You'd have to be careful with the 'nades though, or you might end up blinding yourself. And if you would be playing online in a team, you'd be extra careful, or you could have a nasty group of angry squadmates yelling at you while you all wait to respawn.
