Did anyone notice that in the E3 2003 Video, after the MC Jumped down from the 'chine gun, and before the worthog plowed over the shielded guys, that one of the marines threw an explosive that disoriented the grunts?

yes that is mostly a new feature for the frag grenades. because before he throws it he yells "frag and clear"

The shrapnel got in the grunts eyes and stunned them.

i doubt it will in MP. it would be too anoying to escape the blast, but still get stunned.

It only works on those without shielded environmental suits. Thus, Elites and Spartans are immune.

Brutes, despite not having environmental suits, I strongle suspect would be unaffected. Hunters probably as well, considering they are gelatinous by nature.

Thus, it's mainly the Jackals and Grunts that will suffer the effects of pressure differentials

i call bs on this one. everyone says that if you arnt in the range of the explosion, you get stunned, if im reading correctly. did anyone notice that half the guys were nearly on top of the nade, and noone got hurt or dead...no, the grunts and jackals all just threw there arms up and ran...ran like chickens without heads[tho a chicken only has one head].

oh, and how about the fact that frags look different on your HUD. hmmm... wy would bungie make the grenade pic more unique? maybe so you dont get it confused with the new nades!

i dunno if im just making crap up, but there should have been a couple dead grunts after that explosion if it was a fragnade.

Kazoo,

We also had Shiska and Stosh check it with the Bungie staff for us. They wouldn't say there are no such things as "stun grenades" but they did confirm that particular one was NOT a stun grenade. It was a regular frag grenade.

Now, the other point was... it was a demo, much like how the Brutes when down with just a few punches when we know they can laugh off sniper rounds so might they have set the Grunts not to die from the grenade's blast.

maybe because they remade the model and made it different like everything else in the game?
