death grenade

A grenade kill, where the thrower of the grenade is dead before their victim. Often, but not necessarily the grenade thrower kills their assailant - resulting in a sort of satisfactory stalemate. Term originates from UK online gaming community of late 90's early 00's, in particular "Counter-Strike" and "Halo: Combat Evolved". (Halo was originally played online via the system link facility, directly to another machine over the internet. Halo was never updated for proper Xbox Live online play)
