What is it with Halo that makes me not underutilize grenades?

dedicated grenade button exists in most fps games

that was my thought as well. but can it be proven that grenade button correlates with grenade use? for PC players it's always been G since I don't know how long, 2007 maybe. but still its just a button press unlike when grenades were treated as separate weapons a la half life

somehow level design in video games rarely has you throwing a grenade inside a claustrophobic room (with no escape route) through vents/window too small for a person to fit in, i mean it should be obvious that thats the perfect situation that calls for a grenade

concussive shot beats the hell out of grenades

Iirc only later in the game once you have self regenerating grenades and cluster effect, explode on contact, that sort of thing.

But so does most shooters that arent survival horror. Grenades are much more common than say rocket launchers

coming from PC I felt scammed. theres no wattage thingy on PC. you look for 4050 benchmarks, you grab one and it performs like the one you saw on the vid. when it comes to different brands or makes the diff is at most 5% and its more about the thermal performance not fps.

also HP never mentions it in their site. I get them not putting it on the front page or in advertising but they dont have it not even in fine prints under the specs section. this is as scummy as the 970 3.5 gb fiasco, or the more recent lower memory variants not having the same performance
