They are too proud. Explosives are in the last line of defense, and they never have time. Spec Ops Elites have been taught that grenades rock, and deserve to be used.

the elites are way too cocky to use explosives like what was alreay said but mabey its because they are scared to do it besides the silver elites the silver elites throw them because they are the most agressive ones and they arent afraid to die like the other ones

Its because the lower ranking Elites like to save them and set them off in parking lots later on to impress the girly Elites that are watching him.

The more experienced Elites know that this method of pulling girls doesn't work too well and use them for their purpose. To blow up the Human race in explosions of blue plasma!

I definitely go with the "parking lot with the girls" theory. Those Elites just can't hold it in.

The elite Elites carry more of them than regular Elites, usually 5 or 6 as compared to 2 or 3, so since they have more, they can use them more often, wheras the regular Elites only use them when it's really necessary, and just let the Grunts throw theirs.

Yeah, that seems like the most plausible answer, well it is if you join it with the "end level Elites being all out special ops badasses" idea.

The plasma grenades are really their balls. You wouldn't throw your balls around would you.

They have more fun shooting, and their grenades keep them warm.
