I wish I was still legendary.
yay, relatively positive response!
In regards to MM:
I haven't included this as an idea for MM because it wouldn't be fun. It's alright in campaign, particularly if a certain silver skull makes it happen to players (for an extra challenge - I guess this could be a gold skull actually, it'd definitely make the game harder). In MM, it would make games slow, people too easy to kill and generally be less fun. Maybe as an option in custom games for epic machinimas and interesting gameplay, but beyond that...
In regards to vehicles:
If this sort of thing happened to a vehicle on land, the driver would temporarily have much worse handling. If it flipped the occupants would be thrown out and (in campaign) become ragdolls. In MM if flipped, the occupants would appear with half shields (lower if damaged) crouching beside their vehicle in *relatively* random zones within a specific radius.
Banshees would be knocked off course and have worse handling for a moment. Hornets...given the design it's difficult, but I think making them tip sideways, fall downward slightly and need the driver to stabilise them by rising up again would be interesting.
Sentinels, because I forgot to mention them: Their vision is not obscured by grenade explosions, because I'd assume forerunners would give them thermal imaging. They would, however, be stunned from a grenade explosion too close to them, falling to the ground. If not stunned (within a certain radius but not too close), they would lose their aim and have to aim back at whatever they were killing.
These grenade physics would allow for a tactical advantage. Gone would be the days where when you throw a grenade into a room then charge round the corner, you get shot at while it;s going off by floating enemies. Now would be the days when doing so would be an effective way to, as well as kill, 'neutralise' a threat so you can safely enter or retreat. If, for example, a small room had two brutes and four grunts that had nearly taken out your shield, you could chuck a grenade and knock them over to give you an opportunity to run away.

it would be cool if all elites had an energy sword in secondary and cloak for back up,or retreat purposes.when the elite drops its weapon,it takes out its sword and cloaks if not dead yet,instead of going berserk like a brute.i think that would be pretty amazing.i hope Bungie would consider it.
That would be pretty cool. Although in technicality an elite's sword IS its berserk mode, an elite that cloaked and tried to hunt you down would be much scarier and DEFINITELY offset the tactical advantage you got from the grenade. Maybe only higher ranking elites though, the ones who were actually trusted with swords - councillors, ultras, zealots, some stealth elites and MAYBE some elite majors. Otherwise, even just an elite charging at you whilst firing constantly could be really damn cool.
