OK!, we(or most of us) know that the marine says FRAG and clear. BUT the grenade looks alot more like a flash bang. Espically the way the smoke looks and how do dirt(like in halo 1) flew up. Plus the smoke stays and rises like a flash bang. And the grunts and jackals hold there heads, covering there eyes becuase of the flash. Thoose are are reasons why it might be a FLASH grenade. Also the grunts and jackals didnt fly after the grenade exploded.

Now reasons why it could be a FRAG grenade. First of there isnt blood when MC see's them, but after the grenade goes off you see blood everywhere. They also say FRAG AND CLEAR, and if you played RB63 you know what is going on. Frag=fragment(not fragmentation)

I think this is very well a new grenade, frag or flashbang, its new. On the Doc video you see MC holding a shotgun and throw Grenades at some grunts and jackals. The grenade looks VERY similar to the old -blam!- gernade. With a 3 second fuse. On this gernade it didnt stun any of them or just made blood, it blasted them. showing this is a new grenade that they threw.

Also another new grenade is in the E3 demo MC threw grenades that explode on even if they are in the air. And they have a much faster fuse.

If you want to argue with me simply watch all of the halo 2 videos. So you will see for yourself, and not to make a fool of yourself.

Ugh, sometimes I get so annoyed that I simply MUST post.

The grenade in the E3 video is a FRAGmentation grenade.
Reasons:

1) The marine says, "FRAG and clear." This means he is going to throw in a frag grenade and then clear the room. If it was a flash, he would have said, "FLASH and clear." To let all allies know that he was throwing a flash.

2) There is a large flash associated with the frag grenades in Halo. This is a possible reason for the grunts being "blinded," another possiblity would be debrise throw up. If you dont believe me, play a really laggy Xbox connect game of halo and throw some frag grenades. You will see a very large, very blinding flash emmited when the grenade explodes.

3) I seriously doubt Bungie would disclose info about a new grenade that early on. They are very tight-lipped about this stuff.


I think a flash nade doesnt fit in with Halo anyway.

Well I don't know what you guys are talking about, but I personally heard that there will be a remote detonated plasma grenade...that's a possibility...I bet Bungie has all kinds of crazy stuff in store for us besides the stuff like the ATV and Shadow.

Grenades in Halo 2 will now come with a concussive stun affect on nearby enemies. Covenant, usually grunts, who aren't in the immediate blast radius won't be killed but the blast will stun them enough that they'll be disoriented and temporarily vulnerable to any attack.

well there is a flashbang in the e3 demo


thnk god im not the only one who thought that...the nade mc threw at those grunts explosion and sound wasnt that of a frag gnade.....it was too....different..know what im tlakin about
U reeeeeeeetttttaaaaaarrrrrrrrdddddddd.... It was an updated frag grenade. What it will be like in halo2. It wasn't a flashbang because a flashbang wouldn't do that much damage and and didn't sound like a flashbang. The grunts guns sounded different. U are very wrong I'm afraid.

ding ding ding ding ding! Yes people that is why its not a flash nade. Plust why tf would u throw a flashbang grenade. Think logically. Hmm.. Theres about 5 grunts and 5 jackals around me lets see oh ya I'll throw the flashbang grenade. Hmm.. I wonder how a flashbang did that much damage and blew up a couple cars. Thats what most of u guys sound like. A flashbang nade has a flash and a bang it doesn't blow up everything around it. Thats what I call a fragmentation grenade.

Hey dude I just read your part about the flash bang and I'm almost certain you are right when the marine threw the thing there was a cloud of smoke and I saw no covenant die obviously it is some sort of device that makes the covenant confused obviously it must be a flash bang.

Thanks for proving that one guy wrong he is such a noob!
