Special Grenade

Special Grenades
Secondary grenades used in Modern Warfare 2. They add a distraction or visual effect on the players sight, while adding time for the player to find or flee his/her enemy. They are used by both in Campaign, Multiplayer, and Spec Ops.

Usable Special Grenades

 * Flashbang
 * Smoke Grenade
 * Stun Grenade

Tips

 * Smoke Grenades are very well for covering an objective, such as flags, bomb sites, and camping positions.
 * In Modern Warfare 2, Flashbangs explode 1 second after release.
 * Stun and Flash grenades both disable the cross hair for the time that the player is flashed/stunned.
 * The animation for throwing a stun is much faster than that of a flashbang.
 * Flashbangs have a larger effective radius than Stun Grenades, but only fully affect players that are looking directly at the general area where the flashbang explodes.
 * While under the effects of a flashbang, the player can't run.

Trivia

 * Unlike Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2 flashbangs do not need to touch solid ground to explode. As they can explode in mid air
 * If a player is in Last Stand and a hostile player hits them with a special grenade, they will die.
