With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Rather than a new grenade, I'd like to see a modification of the Spike grenade. Because of its usefulness as a directional explosive, it would make for a really good "trip bomb" or prox grenade. You have to be "in front" of it to set it off, but if you're within the range that sets it off, you're dead (unless you're able to move back out of the range in time--perpendicular to the direction of the spikes).
That would be a great idea, nothing different just it being a proximity grenade instead of useless piece of poop, well for me it was. I never got a kill with it unless I stuck someone.
Oh, you just need to be crafty ;-)
You can't really use the grenade outside of sticking as easily as the initial concept of the directional-explosion sounded when information about the grenade was first released, but it still works. You can't really use it anywhere... there are a few places on each spike grenade-sporting map that the feature can really shine once you get good at it. The best examples are the numerous drop-down "holes" on Isolation. Killing people with well-placed spike grenades there is always fun.
