On the E3, where the guy is playin the game, when the marines chuck the grenade into the alley type thing, is that grenade a flashbang or a frag grenade? I havn't been able 2 figure it out, cuz it sounds like they say frag, yet it looks like the covenant is blinded and none of them were killed from it

It was a frag grenade because it exploded. The marine even said Frag before he throws it..

Flash bangs make bright flashes of light when they go off...

In Halo2,if the grenade(Frag) doesn't kill you,you get shockwaves.That's why the Grunts were holding their heads.

They definitly said Frag and Clear, but it was a Flashbang or probably a mistake, a Frag never blinds someone no matter how much shockwaves you want to put in someone, it would only blind you by popping dust into your eyes or something so that was definitly a Flashbang unless they have a new Fragbang type grenade which kills anyone near by and blinds anyone looking at it, kind of like a C6 breach, but that is placed on doors and this one is in grenade form.

Flash bangs also don't make explosions like it did in the E3 trailer last year... It's just a frag grenade that has the ability to stun the Covenant if it doesn't kill them..

It might have been the explosion.If it was near the Grunt's head,the Grunt might have been holding its head in pain.

Because it's the future, and frag grenades evolved like every other weapon...

They were wounded, and they are all recovering from them

In response to Mast3r Chief's statement:
" a Frag never blinds someone no matter how much shockwaves you want to put in someone"

It may not be a question of blinding a person. Frag Grenades are quite capable of stunning an opponent. Explosions have a chance of temporarily deafening the target and disrupting equilibrium by a sudden changes in air pressure. In that same manner that your ears pop when you are taking off in an airplane only much more intense. That's why in movies you sometimes see a man crouch low, cover his ears and open his mouth. This is a classical position that best protects against such an effects.

This, likely, wouldn't work on the Master Chief who in an environmental armour would be immune to rapid pressure changes but the Grunts and Jackals are quite fair game.
