Emp granade. would work like a mini version of the power drainer from halo 3.
could be used to:
- block of teleporters, gravity lifts, or any small choke points.
- stick it to vehicles for temporarily disabling it.
- stick it to a player for temporarily disabled shields and radar, maybe even equipment/AA (the player would also act like a walking emp field for their friends and foes).
- throw it next to a power weapon to make the enemy sacrifice shields if they don’t wait for it’s duration to finish before picking it up.

YEEESS YEEEES YEESS tell me more more i say halo shall evolve like no other! mwuhahahahahaahah!
The lift and teleporter ideas are kinda ify for me, but the vehicle and shield ideas are very good ideas.

I like the sound of most of it, The lift and teleporters sounds dodgy… But the idea of having a grenade that couldn’t kill players but would play a huge support role for the team. It would become pretty close to a power weapon though. Your are basically asking for a sticky power drainer (as a grande) Put a few of those on the maps they would become one of the most used weapons. Think back to the Plasma pistol + BR combo (noob combo (mostly the halo 2 version)). This weapon combo became very over used mainly on the “pro” circuit.
If you were to add a EMP grenade to Halo 4 it would have to be in a very small amount (2-4 a map) with a large respawn time (60-90 seconds). This would at least stop the over use of such a weapon, I love the idea but I think for the sake of enjoyable game play it would get really old really fast (Maybe campaign only)
I like that your thinking out side the box but I would like you to consider some of my points and see if you your self could come up a solution to some of the points iv made clear
Great Idea Though

this fits in with me and ColdFUsion’s idea of “power Grenades” and I think this would be a given. the “power drain” or just an emp field in general, would be the best equivilant to a “flash bang grenade” that you could have in halo, and would be a great addition to the power weapons in the game. it’d help against camper’s as well as taking out vehicles and help support map control tactics.
