In Response To: New Grenade Slot (Oshovah)
: This new grenade would change gameplay quite a bit. Say if you knew someone
: was coming around a corner, you could bounce the grenade of the wall, wait
: for it to explode, then run in with guns a-blazin' while the enemy is
: temporarily blinded. Or you could through it into an entrance where
: enemies are known to pile out of in groups and ambush them. You'd have to
: be careful with the 'nades though, or you might end up blinding yourself.
: And if you would be playing online in a team, you'd be extra careful, or
: you could have a nasty group of angry squadmates yelling at you while you
: all wait to respawn.
In the E3 8 minute Halo 2 demo a few years back, there was a part where one of the marines throws a grenade that makes the grunts in the area dizzy. They're also covering their eyes as if they were just blinded by a big flash.
I don't have the video anymore, but it's when the Cheif gets the second SMG from the other marine, and then jumps down onto the street from a building's ledge. He then crosses the street into an alley-way that is littered with rubble. It's at this point that one of the marines throws a grenade around the corner, and when the Cheif peeks over, the grunts are covering their eyes and stumbling around as if stunned. I think this is an example of the grenade you're talking about. Since it didn't make it into Halo 2, maybe they'll bring it for this game.
