Flashbangs and stuns in COD

[TheEndlessSleep]

I don't see the point in this thread.
You get flashed/stunned and there is chance you will die.
You get a grenade, your dead. It takes as much skill to throw a grenade as a flash bang and grenades will kill you. So why not complain about them.
You get shot, your dead.
You get knifed by a player a good 2 meters away, your dead.

Flash bangs really arn't a problem.

Grenades kill you, But flashbangs debilitate you before you MABYE die. The annoyance comes from dying when there was essentially nothing you could do about it because you were either caught out in the open by a stun or flashed when you have no idea where the enemy is coming from etc...

Being shot definitley takes skill, and if a player got within range to knife u thats your fault... <---In both of these cases you were perfectly able to fight back, UNLIKE when you are blind or disabled.

Of all the things to rage about in CoD, flash bangs are the ones with least substance. Mainly because they are perfectly fair, do not guarantee your instant death and take sufficient skill.

So, no. Those are fine in CoD, CS or any other shooter.

Huh, it's more often that I kill the person who flash-banged* me than they kill me. Possibly because I tend to hit prone and start shooting in their direction...

I get what your saying, but now imagine you don't know where they're coming from or you get caught facing the wrong direction.... THAT'S where the rage lies, in not being able to do jack about your fate (although i realise that it doesn't always work out like that).

What I do, is if I have an LMG, spray in every possible direction, because I have lots of bullets. Same idea with shotguns, because of the spread.

If I have a different gun, I hit prone, throw my own flash-bang and take the oppurtunity to reload, because there's not much else I can do.

uh no? first off usually it has to land right in front of you to truly blind you, otherwise it just shakes the screen a bit white, and its a good way to get the drop on sniper/shotty douchers who camp in the same room/area, i have yet to see anyone complain about them besides you OP, there are tons and tons of different combinations that are way worse in that game than "flashbangs and stuns"
