If you would take a pick of these two granades, which would you choose and why? I'd go for the frag, because I like it's short fuse.

Frag grenade. Short fuse. Larger splash damage. More common.

Of course, sticking someone with a plasma grenade is one of the most visceral, most exciting moments I've ever experienced had in a video game.

Plasma works for anti-vehicle as well, and sometimes maybe moreso than a frag.
But overall, I love the frag grenades. They're probably my preferred weapon the game. With a plasma grenade, it's pretty much hit or miss for extreme usefulness. You wouldn't go into battle with plasma grenades unless you know you can stick guys.
With a frag grenade, if you remotely know how to throw a grenade properly, you can climb to the top of the scoreboard within minutes (in Battle Creek, mostly). With a combination of frag grenades, a plasma pistol and an assault rifle, that's probably my most effective combo unless I can find something more powerful.
Plus, I think I'm a little grenade crazy. I think seventy five percent of my deaths are caused by self inflicted grenade kills.

Plasma, I like sticking people.

Much as I know the plasma is very useful for knocking vehicles over, I choose frag, cuz it freezes them, has large splash, and is instant-kill with no shields.

  • 04.05.2007 8:37 PM PDT

They mostly come out at night... mostly...

Plasma grenade. It's invaluable against vehicles. And sticking people is the ultimate in-your-face. The frag has a shorter timer before it explodes, but I can live without it.

I prefer the plasma grenades for use on elites, myself. Even on legendary, if they are near the grenade they die.

Frag Grenade ! More damage !!

  • 04.06.2007 5:50 PM PDT

Frag. i love it, its awesome. short fuse, can bounce better than a plasma, downright awesamo

  • 04.06.2007 6:11 PM PDT

Getting a kill with a plasma grenade is much more satisfying *especially a stick(, although it can take a while (the four or five second fuse is a bit long and can push the limits of your mortality).

I chose the Plasma Grenade only because I think it's cool and fun to make them stick to the Sangheili.
But having said that, the Frag Grenade does produce higher splash damage and is best against The Flood.

BTW this is my first post here, as the previous format of the Bungie site, I was having problems joining for some reason.

Since we're talking about Halo: CE here, I'd have to vote plasma one hundred percent. The frags are nice to have for anything that doesn't have a shield, but I prefer the stickies anyways.

Besides, the fuse doesn't start on the frags until they come to a rest, so if you don't bounce 'em just right, they take forever to go off. Plasmas, on the other hand, don't really bounce much, so you're guaranteed a consistent delay, even if it is a little longer than the frag.

Furthermore, sticking was so easy in CE that you shouldn't have to worry about splash damage anyways. =)

i'm not bad, i just like to have fun :) (replying to the other dude, i dont know how to do it the other way)

A plasma grenade can't kill an Elite with an overshield by sticking it, let alone just detonating at its feet.

"Do you think it's because we're awesome? I think it's because we're awesome."

"Man, you're camping my only spawn point? Who made this "Infection" gametype? I'm like a fricken ant someone threw into a spider farm! Except one of the spiders has a tank!"

hard to say. the plasma is good for a brute assault, but if your being slightly stealthy, and playing ctf or something, you might want to use the frag. plasma nades are good for vehicle takeout, frags are good for killing a dude like me who is/would be owning the map.
