I can only imagine what the devs must've been thinking when they came up with that idea. "Guys guys, I have this brilliant crazy idea...what if we make the AIs throw grenades?!" "What are you insane?! Do you know the sheer technicality behind making stuff throw other stuff?! DO YOU KNOW?!" "Bu-bu-but...!" "NO BUTS! PACK IT UP, YOU'RE OUT OF HERE!" *packs up and leave* "I think that guy was onto something" "Yea you're right, better make some computers throw grenades then"
I first saw this in Half life and was blown away, I got such a fright when the combine soilder through the grenade back at me, it killed me also. I showed my friends straigh away.
Hiding, and deciding to wait for some soldiers. Then I hear "FLUSH HIM OUT" And a grenade bounces around the corner at my feet. I stare at the grenade in bewilderment. *DEAD*
Not sure if the a.i. soldiers threw grenades in Goldeneye, but I know multiplayer was a blast.
In Super Double Dragon for the SNES some enemies had grenades and they threw them at you. I loved that game so much.
but for real I think HL was the first time I was flushed out by nades. And its a frustration in WaW where on Veteran the devs thought that every single enemy you encounter has 4 grenades and throws them all at YOU.
Um... grenades... grenades... ah MGS4, no wait GTA4, no thats not it. Oh I got it now, UNCHARTED, how did I forget that. Those AI could really throw some grenades.
Goldeneye ofc course! Who doesn't remember that guy who the very first thing throws a granade at you as you are supposed to answer that radio on the Cave map? Always blew up my objective, had to kamakazi in there to get him. Also the first time I injured the scientist by shooting their hands and legs would make them randomly bring out a Destovei (can't remember the name) or throw a granade at you.
Goldeneye or the first Medal of Honour, whichever one I played first. I think it was Goldeneye, but it was such a long time ago now I can't remeber too well.
Couldnt that be the original Quake?, im sure there was a enemy who threw/shot nades out of a hand cannon at you..
my memory is dull.

Honestly, I never played the original Quake, but I'm damn sure Quake II had one of those and they were totally insane throwing like 4-5 nades in matter of seconds.

Yeah it was Quake 2..i just looked it up, and there's an enemy called "Gunner" that has a super grenade launcher and a chain gun.
call of duty (all of them) on regular difficulty, you throw a nade, they throw it back, you throw it back, and it blows up in your face, annoying the hell out of you
Syphon Filter 2. When they threw grenades it was devastating - literally a ten metre fatality range.
Then there was the enemies with fully prototype bulletproof armour, including a bulletproof helmet carrying MP5s, frags and some kind of grenade launcher (looks like a cut off shotgun and fires a single grenade, has a name like M79 or something).
That game got a low score here but I was amazed by it's realism when I first played it. It was the first game I played where people would get blood painted onto their character models after being shot. The game also had some of the most impressive death animations at the time. It was like watching a movie when you play that game.
Medal of Honor: Rising Sun (yeah I know, but it was pretty much the first FPS I ever played). I have howeverplayed Quake II recently and man do those guys throw grenades! :o
Was it the original Half-Life that has achieved that?Guyper
Probably not the first time I had a grenade thrown at me, just the first time it was done intelligently and was quickly followed by me saying, "Holy SH** these guys know what they're doing!"
