well there IS a flash bang, in the trailer were he plays a level, he is behind a corner and throws a granade, and when he turns the corner all of them are rubbing there eyes and looking around helplessly...so THERE! Actually, that is not a flashbang. It is a regular frag grenade. How do I know? Well, if you care to turn up the volume on your tv ( I bought Halo years after it was realeased, so I have the version which has the E3 demo under the game demos option) after the Chief takes the SMG's from Sergeant Banks, he goes down into the rubble. At one point he looks around a corner and sees some Grunts and Jackals standing there. So he takes cover behind an adjacent wall and waits for the Marines to catch up. One of them looks around a corner, primes a frag, and yells,"Frag and clear!" He then tosses it in and you hear and explosion. The Chief peeks out from the wall sees puddles of Covie blood, and Grunts either rubbing their eyes (shrapnel in eyes?), holding their ears (loud noise), or holding their head as if they are dazed. The Chief finishes them up with some fully automatic action and then moves on. Watch it again, and you'll see for yourself.
