Grenades.

Seems like nowadays grenades are a crucial part of gaming, fps especially. See it doesnt bother me, I think it adds some great depth to gameplay. But, my question is...

Sure 1 or 2 grenades, but 3 guys on the screen throwing a hail storm of 40 grenades towards my feet. What? Do I not understand something here, did I not read the manual or miss the part when they mentioned each ai bot has 30 grenades on them? I swear, its really annoying.

And then, we have online. Im sure this community is fairly versed with the Call of Duty franchise and its online. It has been some of the best online ever as a series. Now thats all fine and dandy, but whats with people and their first instincts nowadays?

Back in the day, I dont it being such a big deal. But now, if someone sees you they wont even bother shooting their gun. The first thing they think of is GRENADE! And cod4 with the x3 perk..Seriously? That gives them more incentive to look up, and chuck 3.

Its getting quite rediculous, everytime I play a game there is somehow magically a grenade at my foot in either single player or online. And dont say I suck at the game or something, because you know I am telling the truth. And if you dont experiance this like the other million people out there do, I would like to get your copy of the game.

Whats your opinion?

Target Bomber is one of my favourite ribbons in R2 lol.

But yeah, sometimes I see how a lot of people won't get killed with granades laying around (not necessarily mine). It's like the nade gave them a lot of time to get away harmless, but when it comes to me, no matter how much I try getting away, the mofo always seems to chase me lol.

Call of Duty? Psh, Battlefield is the real nade spam, Ammo boxes and grenades do not make a happy combo.

As far as I'm concerned, grenades peaked with Counter Strike.

Thats nothing. I used to play COD3, but I have to say RS vegas series takes the cake on nades. Its the first thing you see when coming around a blind corner. And every prick around the corner has to throw it. People even have hallway nade wars. Just chuckin nades down a hallway they know the enemy is at. And if not nades....flashbangs!

Yeah they are. Only thing that would bother me if the programmers gave them way too much power and leeway over everything else (like a spamming 'nade exploit that you can throw clear across to the other side of the map that's supposed to be MILES away)

I am blessed with having a perk on whatever game I play that is grenade magnet. I die by grenades more than 50% of my death. Whether, it be RFoM CoD4 or R2, I will die by just about every nade thrown at me.

World at war kinda made things a little better by making the perk only 2X grenades. Plus the nades seem a lot weaker than in cod4. Alot of time you can still end up surviving when a nade falls next to you. Plus the throw back and flak jacket perk work for them too.

The Good: it kills your enemies...

The Bad: it killed you (mostly accidentally).

The Ugly: it killed your team mates (accidentally or stupidity)

I hated grenades in Killzone 1 : an enemy you couldn't even see (maybe100s of yards away) would always hit you exactly and kill you with a grenade ; but when you try to use some, it's not efficient at all ; hope they fix that in KZ2

Yeah bro, Grenades are cool, But too many cause the game to be annoying, Pretty satisfying when you kill 6 people from one grenade though.. On Cod WaW though, I hate that damn, Noob Tube, Oh My God. Is all I have to say.

I like the way the grenades were in halo.Some where sticky nades which were funny and instant deaths and others where used as a tool to lower the shield.So in other words.Throw one grenade into a group of enemies,their shield is gone,you can feel free to gun them down with ease.

Grenades aren't so bad, remember you have them too.. And sure there are people that throw "random" nades, but you would be suprised how many of those are actually calculated tosses to where you know there are gonna be some enemies.. Whether its hitting spawn points, or flow points, or killing the guy who just killed you with a long bomb.. I get a lot of nade kills and I dont just look up and huck..

It is true that I have them as well, but consider this situation that occurs many times in Resistance 2: You're coming around a building and you and another guy see one another, nobody else from either team is there. The first thing he does is throws a grenade, backs up, and jump behind the corner. Since grenades are way overpowered on R2 this horrible player ends up killing me. He did not even bother using his gun more or less think about it. I hate when people's first impulse is to throw their grenades trying to get cheap kills.

Wanna see a 'nade fest? Get into a domination game on Shipment in Cod4. Absolute, total 'nade fest. If you survive more then 2 minutes, your neo. Oh, and anything on wetwork is pretty bad too.

I personally LOVE grenades, used wisely are effective and games like R2 or even halo with stickies, which reward you for killing someone with a nade is awesome.

I think grenades shouldn't be treated as mini nukes, in an interview with the developer of Operation Flashpoint 2, he said that grenades don't usually kill like they do in videogames and are used mostly to spray shrapnel at enemies. It would be kinda cool ya know, they could make the kill range smaller for a larger hurt range, more intensity and slightly less frustration. I'm not 100% sure thats how they work though, I've never used or seen a real one just heard about them.

I usually use them in large groups or as strategy to get my oponent to move but that usually only works in R2. In COD i throw it in large groups or corners and small areas to get kills. I agree in COD4 grenades were a huge problem, but in COD W@W they aren't so bad. THe maps are bigger so they're not as easy to throw grenades and get a lot of kills with.

Battlefield 2 Strike at Karkland, has much more of a Frag Fest, 32 vs 32 people, going down basically one big road. And everyone has lots of frags because it is unlimited because some people have ammo bags. It is really annoying. But yes Frags are really annoying, I sometimes wish they were taken out, and give us mortars instead so it at least take some skills.
