==Methods==
#[[Guardian (map)|Guardian]] on any game type - Just camp near lift (grenades spawn there) and run towards anyone who gets close too you and Plasma Grenade them. If you keep trying, you should be able to get the achievement easily.
#[[Swords]] is probably the best gametype to score "stick" medals. Just face an opponent, and instead of attacking them, throw a sticky. Unless you are in a considerable distance to jump above an opponent after sticking them (to avoid an attack/splash damage), you will get killed. There is however a huge chance that the grenade will stick to the enemy, since the distance is minimal.
#In [[Snowbound (level)|Snowbound]] and/or [[Epitaph]], stay by the shield doors. Once someone attempts to go through, quickly go through the shield door and throw a sticky at him/her and go back through the door to avoid the splash damage.
#[[Oddball]] games are a great way of getting this achievement. Simply get some stickies and let someone get the ball. Wait for someone to go after the ball holder, as they are distracted, you can easily ambush them with a sticky.


==Methods==
''Note'': Playing on smaller maps will make it easier to gain this achievement.
#[[Guardian (map)|Guardian]] on any game type - Players could camp near lift (grenades spawn there) and run towards anyone who got close and Plasma Grenade them.
#Swords was probably the best gametype to score "stick" medals. Instead of attacking enemies players could instead throw a sticky. The close-quarters nature of the fighting increased the odds of a successful stick, though players risked being killed by their own splash damage.

#[[Oddball]] games were a great way of getting this achievement. Players would often be focused on the ball or ball carrier, opening them up to be ambushed by the achievement hunter. It also facilitated close-quarters fighting, which made sticking other players easier.
#Playing on smaller maps generally made it easier to earn this achievement.
#This achievement was also easier to obtain with the introduction of the MLG FFA playlist. Since Heretic was by far the most common map in this playlist, it was easy to rack up grenade sticks due to players spawning with plasma grenades rather than frags. Not only that, but the map is small enough to give a better likelihood of grenades sticking the target.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*This achievement could be unlocked by using either [[Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|plasma]] or [[Type-2 spike grenade|spike]] grenades.
*This achievement can be unlocked by using either [[Plasma Grenade|plasma]] or [[Spike Grenade|spike]] grenades, and both are equally effective.
*The five sticks did not need to be completed in a single life, just over the course of a single match.
*It has been a false fact that you cannot die while doing this, and you are able to die as long as the required sticks are completed before the match is over.
*Another possible Bungie reference is the fact that the emblem adds up to 21(16 spikes + the number 5 on the achievement), which of course is a multiple of [[Seven|7]].

*A similar [[Ewww, Sticky|achievement]] is earned for getting 5 sticks in one level in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''.
*This achievement is one of the easiest online achievements, since all maps have sticky grenades, and you don't have to stay alive between sticks.
*This is a reference to Robert Lee Wilson. Wilson was a marine who fought in World War II. He threw himself on a grenade, sacrificing himself to save his squad.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_L._Wilson</ref>
