I like frags. I'm a fair throw with them, and bouncing them is fun. I especially like the "suicide grenade" where you throw a frag right before you die. I have killed lots of people with those. People I play regularly have learned to run after I die. Often they don't run fast enough.

I answered "plasma" because the question was, "Which...do you like to use the MOST?" The frag is my preferred weapon, because it goes off more quickly, and often the enemy doen't see it. But the plasma grenade is much more commonly found, therefore I am forced to use it as my mainstay, and save the frag for the tougher situations.

Does anyone know: is there a difference in blast radius between the frag and plasma?

Hello, I'm Daryl. Nice to meet you. See you around.

It's just like Cortana said: Bet you can't stick it.

If you can master the sticking process, a plasma grenade is an inevitable fate. But mastering the parabola and the ricochet of the frag is also a deadly tool.

You guys proabably suck at using grenades. Frags are used in very limited type combat.

Plasma on the other hand, is the most effective grenade against the covenant. No argument. Not to mention the most entertaining. It's pretty fun to stick a grunt and have him take down about 3 elites and 25 other grunts in the process. I'm the master of plasma grenades. I've got a well known move in MP where I stick anyone who comes in close range to kill me. I've got the best record at doing that. I rarely fail to take anyone down with me with the ever useful plasma grenade. I can also stick an elite from 20 feet off on legendary. Pretty entertaining, to see him run into the middle of his elite buddies and blow them all up. Elites are just as bad as grunts when it comes to killing everyone else when they get sticked. And they're supposed to have a sense of honor. Yeah, right. Also, I'm pretty good at finding an opponent with a sniper rifle and judging the distance and how to aim the grenade to stick the bastard.

Definetly the frag. You can bounce it off any surface into unreachable areas with guns. Also the fuse is like second long unlike the plasma. the plasma grenade has a 3 second fuse which gives enemies time to run away.

My post was from a multiplayer perspective. I think frags are more common in mp than plasma. Plasmas more common in SP. I think plasma is probably better vs. covie (though stupid vs. flood). But I was thinking multiplayer.

obviously both have their uses. frags are better for grenade sniping, b/c they don't show your position, but plasmas are good to smoke off a flag sitter. chuck a plasma through the roof, and stick another at the entrance. no way out.

They're both extremely useful. The frag grenades are great for long range and when you and your opponent/s are moving fast. They're also good to stop vehicles in their tracks before they reach you.

Plasmas, though, are excellent for close-range combat such as a last ditch effort, kamikaze attacks, etc. They're also good for vehicles. Sometimes the only way to get someone out of a Scorpion is with two of the little guys.

They're both great, but I'm going to have to say the Plasma because they're just more fun.
