After Cortana says: "Bet you can't stick it." The MC says: "You're on." And then he throws one grenade and sticks it. He doesn't stick it on an Elite, but himself, right on the face. Of course he wins the bet because he "sticked it" err, stuck it. The reason he placed the grenade on his head is because he figured that he has a very low chance of actually 'sticking it' onto one of the Elites. The black Elites, the ones shown in the video, and very skilfull and highly trained. So the MC placed the grenade on his head so he would win the bet he made with Cortana, and then die, so he wouldn't have to fight the Elites. By the time of Halo 2, the MC is getting old, and a bit rusty, so he decided to just end it all. He knew Earth would be destroyed no matter what he did. He had experienced many many battles against the Covenant before, on both ground, and in space. The MC knows the power of the Covenant, and that they would definitely sacrifice all of their ground troops to destroy Earth by 'glassing' it with their plasma weapons onboard their cruisers in space. Although, maybe they want to capture Earth. Because there is that advertisement for Halo 2 that says: "They don't want to destroy our planet. Just Mankind." So that means that the Covenant are going to have to send enough ground troops on Earth to kill off anyone who stands in there way, and the MC. So it looks like no matter what, the MC had a good idea to place a grenade on his head, and end the game there.
