*In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the Plasma Grenade's explosion was more of a blue cloud and was also very powerful, similar to that of a [[Needler]] in the same game. The size of the blast animation and radius also got smaller going into ''[[Halo 2]]'', and smaller still in ''[[Halo 3]]''. | *In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the Plasma Grenade's explosion was more of a blue cloud and was also very powerful, similar to that of a [[Needler]] in the same game.

*In ''Halo: CE'', a plasma grenade inflicts 4 times the damage to a shielded Elite. So if an Elite is damaged by a plasma grenade at all when its shields are up, it will die, with few exceptions. However, the damage multiplier is normal when damaging flesh, so on higher difficulties an Elite has a better chance of surviving a plasma grenade explosion when its shield is down. | *In ''Halo: CE'', a plasma grenade inflicts 4 times the damage to a shielded Elite.
