Another Halo 3 weapon dissection has been posted over at Bungie.net and this week the spotlight is on the new grenade. It is called the Type-2 Antipersonnel Fragmentation Grenade or spike grenade for short. The spike grenades will stick to any surface ... concrete, glass, rock, human flesh, and covenant shields just to name a few. Once stuck into a surface the grenade will explode shooting out spiky shrapnel pieces. But the explosion isn't spherical like the plasma grenade, oh no. The spike grenade shoots out projectiles in a cone shape perpendicular to the surface it hits. Throw it at a wall in front of you and spikes will shoot right back at you. Throw it on the ceiling and projectiles will rain down from above. Think of all the tactical maneuvers you can accomplish with this little guy! But don't worry old school fans, the frag and plasma grenades will be making encore appearances in Halo 3. Can you think of any other situations or how you'll be using these spiked beasts?
