This is what I think happened.
>Original pineapple grenade was just an ABRL warhead that you throw with your hands. I haven't looked at their stats, but I bet that it's the exact same bomblet.
>Having an ABRL at your fingertips is a lot of boom, so they dialed it back to 3 grenades
>Alexus walks into the room SEETHING that a freshly spawned helldiver can delete a fleshmob patrol with one well placed grenade
>in response he reduces the number of bomblets spawned by 95%
In contrast I don't think Alexus can properly understand the pyrotech. It doesn't have a simple "damage number here" value that sticks out. It just spawns a bunch of sparks over time and then creates a fire pit. The actual explosive is pitiful and is only notable as being a token charge for detonating spawners. I think Alexus isn't capable of conceptualizing the pyrotech grenade when he goes on a balansing spree. He just sees:
>pyrotech. Damage is just 50. Good. It's ok for some weapons to be jokes.

FUCK the community is getting skill checked by this expansion HARD. I have never seen people struggle so much.

>bringing all the wrong shit, zero solution to heavies
>can't find their way in caves
>basically useless across the board

I am doing easy 7s and basically having to single handedly complete the mission underground because all the poos, chinks, and so on who play this game don't have the sense of direction or agency required to play this expansion.

Not to mention the fact that cunts have become WAY too dependent on shit like 500kg bombs and orbital lasers as a means of dealing with heavies, so more than half the player base are now just getting brutalised by heavies because a RR, quasar or HMG is an unheard item to them. FUCK ME.

I love this patch, it's top tier kino going into the caves and nuking hive lungs and nests. But damn it is really showing that most of the playerbase sucks at the game.

Is there anything useful in the halo warbond? I don't give the slightest of fucks about halo's history or aesthetics.
