View Full Version : Plasma Grenade Start

Been watching some of the vod form the Nationals and came across this thought.

Why not in all the game types add two more classes? One with DMR and 1 plasma, and one with NR and 1 plasma. So Load outs would look like this.


1) DMR 2 Frag
2) NR 2 Frag
3) DMR 1 Plasma
4) NR 1 Plasma


The reason for the one plasma is due to the fact that plasma grenades so far seem a little bit over powered. Just a thought though. Discuss.

It would be crazy if everyone had a plasma.. i mean relate it to how bad heritic was in H3. It was stick stick stick.

Hmm. Interesting indeed. I don't know much about this and I haven't tried this out for myself but it might be interesting. I'm sure KC has testing this and has a reason though. I don't know what it is, but I don't have a problem with it.

i actually prefer to use Plasma's over frags.

I just love hearing that noise knowing you stuck someone :)

I would love the Loadouts that way.

I miss insta-spodes :( So much fun. But I dont really think it would work out with plasma grenade starts, and I really dont feel like going through H3 Heretic again.

i love getting instants on people
and i think that id be using sticks a lot on countdown since theres a lot of close range battles that take place and a lot of ledges to jump off of

Now keep in mind that I stated that only 1 plasma grenade is given on the other startups. So either..
A) You get two frags to help spam out an area with your team. As well as you can bounce them around corners.
B) You get one Plasma to either Insta Splode you opponent, or stick them. And they don't bounce...well.

I think that one plasma would be ok just because you couldn't insta you would have to coordinate with your teammates to do that

I really don't think a plasma start would be that good. I hate when I earn a solid kill on someone only to be stuck. It's ok though because there aren't that many of them on a map. If everyone had them it would be ridiculous.

Plasma grenades can't be solid kills? I don't see why they would not.
It does require skill to stick someone.

I would agree if you could have two plasma grenades. Instasplodes could easily get out of hand and downplay positioning and skill with the dmr. With one, the loadout becomes just another choice with different strategy implied in its use, but without the larger game altering effects of two.

Considering how nades are already like nukes and people <3 to throw w/e nades they have, this would be dumb.

Meh, both nades are insanely OP in reach. Having plasmas couldn't be that bad. But I'm sure Killa KC has tested it before.
