HR: UNSC Weapons - Frag Grenade (M9)

Basic description: Can be thrown by hand or fired from the Grenade Launcher. Has a wide splash damage radius. When thrown by hand, will detonate shortly after bouncing. Max 3 grenade loadout or 2 grenade carry.

NEW FOR HALO REACH: Now causes EMP damage in Halo Reach, and is noticeably stronger in Reach. Some loadouts allow you to carry one extra grenade.

Restrictions: Can be slightly unpredictable in bouncing, can be shot out of the air or caused to explode by other explosions. Can result in significant friendly fire casualties.

Uses: Any range. Spamming rooms, enclosed spaces, and objective locations. Can be bounced around corners to flush enemies out. Pairs well with any headshot weapon for a quick one-two kill. Enemy players will shimmer in Halo Reach when their shields take damage. Pairs well with jet pack and sprint, can be used during both abilities.

Best for: New players to get easy kills, but need to be careful about friendly fire. Also good for skill players as a headshot combo.
