Grenade spam in PvP (Constructive criticism)

The grenades in PvP are being spammed and exploited. The blast radius on some of them are insane. players throw a grenade 1st and then shoot. anybody agree? There is no skill involved. [b]*Edit*[/b] what im trying to say is that people rely on the nades to much. Especially on maps like Fire base del. where one nade can cover a whole hallway. [b]*EDIT*[/b] before you reply, look at other comments, your question might have already been posted and I am giving valid replies. Feel free to jump in guys and plz, stay friendly. this is not a rant or hate thread. :) Im just asking for opinions/solutions [b]*EDIT* [/b] this is not a hate thread, anyone that disrespects anyone will be reported. lets be adults plz.

  • This is why I use tripmine grenades. At least they take some semblance of skill. ...but seriously, have you ever played Halo? Grenade spam is essentially recommended.

  • The spam is why there is a cool down on grenades instead of an ammo supply. If you spec grenades then you loose super charge rate and melee cool down; it's a trade off. Most grenades are rendered much less effective if you jump.

    • You're definitely seeing more grenades because last week Xur sold warlock chest armor that spawns you with full grenade energy. I wear that on my sunsinger with the perk to carry a second grenade and now I'm spawning with two grenades. It helps that most people are careless with their 'nades but I'm very deadly with them. I am Op. Nerf me.

      your calling grenades a exploit and how they are no skill, but you say it's not a rant lol, alot of games allow you to have more grenades or something like CoD where you have a grenade 100% everytime you spawn, as in destiny it's on cooldowns...this is just another cry baby post about something because they can't deal with the small problems in PvP and think everything is unskilled...well let me tell you something everything on games are UNSKILLED unless your MLG or a pro, you can't talk about skill...if you want to learn a skill go to a TECH school.

      I have The armamentarium chest piece, it gives me 2 grenades. I also usually run defender, so I have sticky grenades which makes the postmortem bounty very easy. I WILL use them, and I would be foolish not too capitalize on them. These are but tools in my arsenal. In order for me to win, you must lose. The crucible is no place for mercy. Your anguish sustains us.

      • I say weapons are being exploited, people are shooting them and their aim is amazing and I keep dying. We need to get rid of them. Anyone agree?

        • No grenade should kill a fully shielded player, even if you hit them in the face with it. Devs have been trying to remove skill from games for years so everyone can feel like a winner. COD got pretty close to doing it but Destiny takes it to a whole new level.

          • bro, that's what bungie is famous for. I ALWAYS threw nades in halo. nade here nade there, nades urrywhere. they take down shields and make for an easy kill. if anything the grenades are almost used less in destiny. but, i do agree that some nades Are indeed quite OP when compared to their counterparts. I think it's voidwalker that has the grenade that follows you, I hate that nade...

            People very quickly forget the purpose of grenades in fps, and as this top frequently comes up whenever a new fps hits the shelves, I'll give you the low down: 1) to flush enemies out of secure spots (aka camping) 2) bombardment/aoe strategies Nerfing grenades range, damage or overall effectiveness will result in more camping since there's little you can do to stop them. Grenades are fine the way they are in destiny. I don't ever want to see Halo reach grenades in any fps game ever again. Those things belong on tennis courts, absolutely useless things...nerfed to oblivion because folk didn't like getting fragged...same kids then ended up crying about camping soon after! Tl:dr less QQ more Pew Pew. Or Kaboom kaboom in this case

            • Can't agree with this because the only class that's able to truly grenade spam is the sun singer while in radiance...and even that lasts only a short time

            • "People throw a grenade first, then shoot". This is how halo has been played for 13 years. Toss a pineapple to take their shields down, have a better chance at killing them. It's a legitimate strategy.

                At first I thought this was a clear troll. Complaining about something as basic as grenades and basic tactics for using them. Then I read more and realized he is just dumb.

                • Ever played Halo? Grenades were the cornerstone of that game.

                • In a game with this long of a time to kill, if you aren't throwing your grenades before you encounter enemies.....you are doing it wrong.

                • Are you getting killed by said grenades? If so, then stop running down hallways at people. If not, what's your problem? You forced a player to waste their grenade. You now have an advantage over them. It's called using what's given to you to gain tactical advantages. Each grenade has strengths and weaknesses. They all have different uses. Do you not use your grenade? If you don't, then you're robbing yourself of a weapon. If you do, you're a hypocrite.

                  This is a classic example of: - OP has a personal definition of "honor" or "skill' with using a particular strategy or gameplay mechanic. - Accuses people that don't agree or conform to his ideology as being "unskilled". - Fails to realize that adapting, improving, and overcoming a particular strategy or gameplay mechanic is a sign of skill. I thought sliding shotgunners were cheap in the Crucible and then I figured out counter-strategies. To reiterate other people in the thread, OP needs to git gud.
