I recently played some LAN games with my friends. While playing I noticed that when you are at quite close range it is blatently obvious to the oppenant that you are throwing a grenade. A big left (or right, I forget) arm arcs over and releases a grenade. It can easily be seen, so the enemy can easily dodge it.
I figured a way round this problem, please don't flame if this was figured out ages ago.
Pull the left trigger, immediately followed by B. This will throw a grenade but if done right, will just look like a normal melee. On closer inspection (real close up), a grenade is launched from inside the melee, from the chest.
It works best for disguising that little Fragmentation grenade you want to launch at a nearby enemy; the Plasma's glow gives it away.
If you do this with a fragmentation with an enemy stood in range of the melee (and directly facing them) then you can damage them with a melee, jump back and the grenade will quickly finish them off.
