Quantcast



What you're about to watch is simply the most amazing and luckiest throw in Halo 3 you will ever witness. I don't want to say anything else aside that your jaw will drop in disbelief.
 
Whoever thought about incorporating the save film feature into Halo 3 should be given a cookie and a pat on the head right about now.

So great. Implementing those saved films was worth it just for this video.

I was wondering how long before this became somebody story lol.

thats one hell of a throw. kinda makes any futures vids captured with that feature kinda lame when you compare.

Yup, best grenade ever. I really, really wish it was easy to export Halo 3 movies to the web :(

I have my doubts it wasn't staged (probably because a friend used me to stage kills and stickies on H2 for his montages), still, staged or not it looks awesome.

I thought they detonated after a certain time...

Also, it would be awesome to throw one straight up in the gravity lift, so that it's an infinite trap that kills the next person to walk in.

That is the most fortuitous set of circumstances to create a plasma grenade “stick” that I have ever seen. I bet the guy threw the grenade, then saw the kill indicator come up, and was like, “How the hell did I just register a kill???”

They need to implement this replay feature in every shooter from now on — I mean, it would be pretty incredible to be able to save some footage of a few ridiculous things I’ve managed to pull off in Warhawk.

That was pretty cool but the spartan just falling over ruined it for me. I was expecting some serious gibbing.

I didn't even know you could use the lifts for grenades. I'm sure there will be a lot of copy cats now. They'll just never be as good.

Truly Epic.

And from comments by the poster he says it wasn't staged and he has a the full match's capture as proof (though he could obviously not be telling the truth).

You can see in the 1st few seconds of the video the first plasma grenade he threw which fell short. Apparently the other guy was trying to snipe him.
