I always use stun because it stuns the enemy, greatly disabling their movement so you can easily breach a room and take them out. Sure with a flash they're blind, but they can still shoot wildly around the room, possibly killing you.

I only use smoke when sniping, or in a sniper class. Other than that I use stun and flash equally. although I would like to get a good pro and con of the two. whats your point of view

Flash's aren't that great... They have a bigger radius, but I kill people when I get flashed alot, stuns have alot better effect if you hit someone.

It all depedns on your current situation, if for example your team is being pummled by campers popping a smoke can help you pass through a position also if you have thermal pop one of those and snipe them through the smoke screen.

Stun can workif your attacking from an angle in which it can give u a chance to pick off your enemies before they can turn to take you down.

and flash can be used to blind those in a room, then run in and pick everyone off while they are still blind.

so once again it depends on your current situation but i personally go with stun :D

smoke is good for escaping or hiding nothing more. flash is great when u hiting rooms and rushing it if you use stuns you can get shot when entering because they can still see. stunning is great in open areas in my opinion

I always use the stun grenade. The trick is to stun them while strafing, that way they'll be stunned and move extremely slow while you just finish them off. Ive found with the flash people just fire all over the place while blind, and actually kill you sometimes luckily. I don't see any use for the smoke grenade though, there are no vehicles in MW2 so why use it? If you planning on hiding in the smoke cloud, then prepare to get grenade spammed.

Flashes have a larger range I think but it takes longer to pull the pin. Stuns are fast thrown and slow movement not as much vision

Yeah, but most of the time for me, I use my flashs on people camping the objective, if I stun, they're still facing where they want to shoot and its all null and void for me. :(

Stun seems more useful as it slows people down. Smoke is good for tricking people in Search and Destroy, though I usually use it when I have a gun with thermal on it.

ii think you should use stuns because i) they have a smaller blast radius, making it less likely for you to hit youself, and ii) it disables them more, making it harder for them to escape and sprint away, which is especially good for a group in the open.
