Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

in CEA each time you kill a grunt with the GF skull activated you virtually stick the grunt as well with a free plasma grenade right? so ALOT more plasma grenades are save YAY!
well here's the downside, when the grunt explodes, the weapon it drops dissapears.

yeah but its easyer to kill the flood and elites if you use the grunts as walking landmines

"Die?"Kurt laughed."Didn't you know?"he told the Elite. "...Spartans never die."

Except when they're in groups and you kill one and the rest decide to aeroplane towards you and blow your ass up!

perhaps its not a coincidence they always luanch towards your direction (i wouldn't be suprised if its part of the coding to move towards the players direction when they explode)

That's not the only downside. The grunts are practically time bombs.

Basic scenario for me:
Kill grunt.
Reload.
Walk towards destination
Blows up.

I stopped using it. GBD is much more peaceful. Less bang for my buck, well yes. But the sounds of laughter are always welcome.

I hate when you get the grunt who drops a grenade right before he dies because he KNOWS he's going to launch it straight at you...

I'd say it's just more a horrible coincidence of the animation system and how grunts die. They fall in a position that always sets them up ironically to go straight forward.
