Got a few?

The ones i know:

Suicide bomber, if FF is off load a teammate with armed plasma nades and have him rush someone, works very well on parked vehicles or to reach high places (if your that good at it)Works with vehicles too, ghost are the only ones fast enough to be effective though. All that must be done quite quickly or else your mate will go for a ride.

Baseball: i THINK ive swatted a frag nade away at the last moment with my rifle one time in multiplayer, Can someone confirm this? it only happened once in multiplayer and it was lagging at the time.

Big explosion: Throw a plasma grenade and then throw a frag on the same spot as soon as u can. THe plasma nade will explode just before the frag, that pushes it away a bit and increases the total AOE, very useful indoors or on incoming vehicles. This has enough power to make a warthog do a complete flip (single nades usually just turn them over)

Trip mine: pretty simple, chuck a nade straight down at your feet when you run. Its amazing how many people fall for that, even with plasma grenades. Use it right after you round a corner or if someone is chasing you with a flamethrower. If a banshee is coming in to ram you and u know ur gonna get run over this is a good last effort if you have some frags. If you have plasmas just wait till the last moment and paste one on him.

Let enemy hands be empty: If your about to die in an enemy base and all you have left is nades try to blow away some of the enemies weapons. On blood gulch a pair of nades can jumble the weapons ontop and outside of one of the bunkers. Making it much harder for them to arm themselfes.

On a side note you can simply put on one your feet if your gonna get shot, it will set off your remaining grenades in a big explosion and scatters your weapons around. Works on enemy dead bodies if you kill them at home and dont want thier ammo to go to use.

Nade bouncing:

Very easy tricks, some take practice so make a custom game mode with unlimited nades on a map thats relatively flat, (blood gulch works best)

Leapfrog: This only works with plasma nades, throw one down on the ground, move or turn a tad and throw another, (crouch works best) if you did it right the second nade will be blown off in a certain direction and explode (usually) in midair. This can be used to blast a distant enemy with a grenade without him being able to dodge it, blast a grenade around a corner (flaggers beware), and maybe even give a nasty suprise to someone chasing you.

If you throw three nades at a high angle (to delay the fuse of the first one) using the above technique it possible to leapfrog THREE grenades. Only works on flat ground and ive only managed to do it twice. The range is incredible, almost half the length of blood gulch. (rough estimate all i had to sight with was my pistol scope and all i saw of the last nade was a big blue flash from behind a hill)

This is also the only way ive found to "prime" a nade.

Fireworks: throw two plasma nades on the EXACT same spot, one of them will be blown straight up into the air and explode. U can use this for a lot of things from a distraction or an easier way to nade a banshee (pretty hard allready), works good in blood gulch if you have a banshee turning circles on the top of your base. THis aso usefull indoors if you have two plasma grenades and you want them to explode on the exact same spot.

Funny thing about this, if you do it on dirt or grass the nade that flies up in the air will still leave a big dirt plume.

Have fun

I bet that was the lag, or it just bounced off of you.

Anyway i got two tricks. THe kamakazie grenade has become somewhat of a reflex to me. Basically you just throw a grenade right before you die. The other one is to pin the other team down at their base with multiple grenades.
