what grenades will gears feature?

[Arm4lite]

ive seen 3 types of grenade, flash , smoke and frag , does any 1 know if there will be a sticky 1 like the 1 from halo?

[Urbani666]

that would suck, I think they are gonna use the torque bow as the sticky Nade thing,the arrow sticks in you and you Blow up or vice versa.

[HyperTitan]

Duppie man, make sure you search. I think they have smoke, frag, flash and I believe Cliffy said there would be a sticky, but don't hold me to that. I'm not for sure.

[Chainsaw Guardian]

There are the three grenades you mentioned. There will be a weapon that is kind of like the Halo Plasma Grenade. It's called the Torquebow. You can think of it as a bow and arrow type gun, and the arrows are explosive. Shortly after you shoot the enemy it will stick in, then explode. It is basically the equivalent of the Plasma Grenade, but Gears of War style:cool:

k thanks for that soz for not searching for previous post will do next time lol

There are sticky grenades, but they're slightly different than halo, in that you can't throw them. this quote from Cliffy should help


You guessed right, melee with grenades makes them stick to your foe. ;)


run up to them and press/ hold B, SWEET.

[Arm4lite]

sounds v cool , will also take some skill i would imagine ;)

[DeadPool]

yea, the grenade melee will b awesome. I wonder if it will the shove nade in mouth thing that we've been speculating about 4 soooo long:confused: :D And would this have a reversal like the chainsaw move? is it possible this could replace the chainsaw? maybe its the locusts version of the chainsaw? some1 answer me 4 once! :D

i think that since the locust can use the chainsaw move to then the humans will be able to use the nade melee aswell but maybe their animations will be differnt for human and locust.

[soadnation]

hopefully that will mean that whenever someone gets close to you it wont always be a chainsaw. that could get repetitive.

[Skiddywinks]

So wait; you can counter the chainsaw?

And wicked, btw (about the grenade sticking melee).

[soadnation]

if that was pointed towards me i didn't mean it was a counter. I ment that when someone gets close it wont always result in a chainsaw. Now they could do at least 2 moves.

[cakemonkey]

how about a sticky garnade that is magnetic and is attracted to the enemys gun, then they drop it, try to run away, but destroys their gun so they cant use it, sounds like a challenge I dont think epic can do

[SKM D34TH]

^^ thats a innovative grenade for sure. its Cool in theroy but i doubt that will come to fruitation anytime soon

[cakemonkey]

thank, i like u skm, my garnade would be kickass, you ever see that gun in turok 2 that sucks blood out of their necks, best f@cking gun ever unless i hear something cooler then that

[SKM D34TH]

the Cerebrel Bore it was a Great Gun. Wootzor.

a while ago there were some rumors and semi-confirmation of the sticky nade, but most likely they wont be in the game, no other nades have been shown yet

[cakemonkey]

what dose the gun do?

[SKM D34TH]

thats the Gun from Turok your referring to in the post Above. But yea the grenades that are already confirmed are cool for me, Frags and Smokes both help the Fundamentals of the gameplay. as I.E. Smoke helps you advance across a open Street with little to no cover and Frags help the tactical fell of having some one Pin downa enemy Behind a Pillar while another tosses a Nade over it and So on.

[1stPerson=MotionSickness]

Hopefully the kind that explode-LOL-I'm sure they will keep it simple.

[mrsalty92]

I wouldnt mind seeing a grenade that when it explodes sends spikes flying that sticks enemies to walls/cover and if they dont die right away you can shoot them or watch them struggle to get out then when they finally manage to get out blast them in the face with the shotgun...thats brutal.

wow that sounds awesome, cool idea!

[cakemonkey]

wow that sounds awesome, cool idea! its not his idea, ive seen it in a game shown at e3, would be cool in gears is what i think he was saying

[Skiddywinks]

It is a cool idea. Even if it isn't his. I don't suppose you know what game it is?

It's kinda llike the nailbomb in that film with Arnie. Eraser I think it was.

But if you think about it, the spikes would have to be a good foot long in order to properly pin an enemy to the wall. How is a grenade going to launch loads of THEM?

Normal nail bombs can, at most, pin your hand to something (you know, apart from the gruesome and painful death I mean).

no I dont know the game, but im sure its taken, how come in most games a garnade wont stop a car?

[Skiddywinks]

I don't know what it has got to do with anything, but the reason for that is games that are as realistic as life would suck. Hard.

For example, IIRC, the kill radius of a standard issue Frag nade is about 10 meters. Not sure about HE grenades though. Do you realise how big 10 meters is in a game? That's massive! Grenades would be way too powerful in games if they were that realistic.

Sure, a grenade would seriously mess up a car in real life, but in a game they would be WAY over powered.

[cakemonkey]

I know the game fools, resistance fall of man for the ps3 yall, what now, he has stolen the idea of another game, I win

[soda]

how funny would it be to be hiding behind cover a locust comes hurtling oer you not realising your there you reach up with a bolo grenade stick it into his back he runs off and BOOM

Yeah plus real life is way too random, no skill involved. (of course it will help but still)

[DeadPool]

I recently heard about a fictional grenade that is used by some superhero. It sends the target several seconds into the future, at the exact same spot, but since the earth is moving at astronomical speeds, the target will come back in the blackness of space. Imagine a locust squad getting warped to the final frontier!:D if u dont get the concept, read the wikipedia article on timetravel, this is where i heard of the nade. it explains it in greater detail.

[cakemonkey]

How about a garnade that shoots bee bees, claymore shizzle, I think the 360 will be able to do that with all of the muilti features, look at 99 nights, theirs foes everywhere, it would be tight to see thousands of bee bees on the ground and reflecting with the sun
