I've watched the 8 minute demo (the old one from last year) over and over... and if u notice one of the soldiers clears the area with some kind of i guess..."flashbang" grenade... I wuz just wondering how awesome it will be to have soo many new grenades... think about throwing WhitePhosphorus into the enemy base... kind of waiting them out. That would rock! Any other cool grenades u can think of?

Alot of people seem to want flash bang grenades, but personaly i think that would suck because people would be using them all the time, imagine a hectic team slayer game and bang no one can see while this one guy is running around shooting everyone.
Don't like it :-)

hmmm... well... maybe there will be disadvantages and maybe it will only be in campaign mode.... who knows? i guess time will tell, i think it'd be sweet to have flashbangs, maybe they could make it so u dont start with any flashbangs to make it more realistic and fair that way its like the rocket and snipes, u have to wait for em or sumthing, i think it would be cool that way! BTW, VOTE ON THE POLL ABOVE!

That was not a flashbang.

The marine distinctly said, " FRAG and clear. " There was blood all over. The dizzying side effects are because it was so close, but did not come close wnough to kill. Also look at the explosion and listen again. Turn up the volume. Also there was no white lfash inidcating a flashbang.

It was an M9 HE-DP (frag). Period.

It's a frag PERIOD. If you read about Halo 2 a while ago, you'll learn that the frags now STUN enemies close to the grenade, but are not killed by the shrapnel. So the frag sorta acts like a flashbang ;)

A flash bang woudl have no effect on a Spartan. There face mask woudl darken so the flash has no effect. Then the pressure wave would not make it through there suit. It would have the same effect as a frag in Halo except no damage how pointless.

I dont know what that was.. couldve been a flash or a frag.

Flashes dont actually flash bright white light... they just look like an explosion with some smoke and sparks... there is no flash, (dont ask how it works.. i dunno either.) but i am 100% sure that there is no flash with a flashbang

If you look away from a flashbang or are at a distance from it (maybe 30 yards)... then you dont get blinded..(of course)

What would you rather do? Run into a room flashbang them kill a few then effects wear off and they kill you? Or through a frag kill them all and skip away like a grunt does when hes in love

well.... either way the enemy will respawn, i just think it would be sweet, havin your whole team surround the base and flash the -blam!- out of the middle of it and then everyone just run thru killin em all and smacking em.

I am telling you now flash bangs will have no effect on a Spartan. A better grenade might be an EMP to knock the all the shields of the opposing team.

yea, i think u are probably right, although there ARE ELITES in multiplayer now, maybe it would be a great advantage to the MC's, I'm sure if they did that then they would definetly have some kind of advantage for the ELITES like.. extremely high jumping n all... but i think it would be sweet to have a nade with a minimal radius that only knocked the shields out of players... it would rock!

I say the grenades are best left to the two we know. Why make things more complex when they were perfect the way they were

I don't know about that, i think it would be cool atleast to add one grenade, but i really like that idea for a "shield nade" where u blow it and it only wipes out everyone's shield, i think thats a great one...

As much as I'd love flashbangs etc. I don't think Bungie has any plans for throwing them in with Halo 2. That would just be too good. At least SplinterCell: PT has 'em. . . . ahh. . . flashbangs.

That is correct. Any enemies (and friendlies, I assume) in the grenade area but not the kill radius is stunned momentarily. This is why the Grunts were running around covering their eyes.

First off, it is a frag. Like hikaru 119 said, the ODST said " Frag and clear!" Not bang, not flash, not flash bang.

Secondly, if they had introduced any type of new grenade at E3, how come their was nothing said about it in any of the articles or movies? It is clearly nothing new, just a new look for the plasma.

Either way, it would still rock with a flashbang!
