Nades are awesome in their current form. If a powerful explosive goes off right next to you, you should die/be near death. That's my take, anyway.

I assume that the "crouch before you land" trick doesn't exist anymore?

Getting error code when I click on preview the beta, its the Halo 3 beta all over again, hopefully Bungie will add another day or two like they did with the last beta. :lol

It's a lot easier to kill people on Sword Base when you're on the highest floors and they're on the bottom....TommyT said:
I can't tell when and where I'm going to spawn, and even then I have to ask myself "Is sprint what I need most right now?"Falagard said:
That doesn't help the map flow better (so I have to go forward to go back to go up?), and I'd have to defend myself against anyone going for the sniper.TommyT said:Elevator to top floor then jump down!

Halo 3 grenades were perfect, I'm not quite sure what the change is for.
Yes, because calling someone who's throwing a temper tantrum because they assume the beta is only broken FOR THEM instead of reading the thread is Bungie Defense Force. :lolThe Lamonster said:
Shake, haven't you heard? The grenades are perfect, the Bungie Defense Force says so! :lol
(They need to get toned down at least a little bit, not sure if they need to go all the way down to Halo 3 levels though. I like them feeling powerful =o )

I think it should be it's own listing, dmr is shit against rushing opponents who abuse the melee powers, even if you aim for their head or something most of the time you might as well sprint everywhere and whack things.JambiBum said:
It would also be nice if the hammer has less "ammo" since it's a rape machine compared do the DMR in pro games.
Sorry to everyone if I sound like a moaning git but regular slayer with the perks is beautiful, pro is not.

wat. You can't crouch in the air anymore?Devil Theory said:
Yeah, No.Coin Return said:
If you have anything less then around 70% health left, even with full shields you will die from 1 'nade. That is breaking the game imo.
100% shields should be keeping me safe from a 'nade kill, but in its current form its not doing that. Im not saying make it like halo 3, where even a fraction of shields would keep you safe from death from a 'nade, but in their current form they really are the new rockets. And rockets, imo they are the nukes, the splash damage on those is HUGE. I remember surviving rockets jumping over them but failing to survive in Reach even with the blast being no where near me.

Reducing or eliminating damage before you land if you crouch from a long fall.
Honestly it's hard not to when you're left with either FFA or 4v4 1-flag, I was tired of that crap after about a dozen games in Halo 3. It's nice to see them improve core mechanics but that small scale formula is so tired to me, I'm really hoping they blow the doors off with Invasion & Generator Defense. We'll have to wait and see on FridayThe Faceless Master said:

They are sat there with the button ready to go but thinking "just a little bit longer" to keep things tense.2 Minutes Turkish said:
