Has anyone else notice that while playing the campaing, elites never use their gernades. They have them but dont use them.

They use them, just only on legendary. They can really pitch it, instead of the grunt's style of "lobbing".

SB-117

All of the spec-ops Elites use grenades. You probably just dont notice it, because the flood levels arent played as much...

They seem to use them progressively more on each level of difficulty. Just like the grunts. The black elites throw them around like they have an unlimited supply, (oh wait, they do) especially on legendary. I love the way they flick their arm and chuck them at you, there's so little warning.. in fact it took me a while to notice it was actually them that threw them, i thought it was a nearby grunt and I just didn't hear it announce the grenade. It's also fun to suicide them when they tag you with one.
Their colour determines how often they throw them.. other things too, like how much they jump away from grenades. Blacks definately throw them more. Red elites seem to dive away more than blue ones. There's lists of this stuff at halo.bungie.org.

Does anyone know if elite or grunts can run out of grenades? I've always wondered...

Grunts mostly each have only one or two, compared to the Spec-Ops elites that have eight. (instead of 2-frag 2-plasma, their covies so they have 8-plasma)

On "Keyes" when you are trying to get to the banshee. They pelted me with seven on Legendary once.
