Grenade Spam

[BolognaBaloney]

Alto I don't play CoD, I heard a lot of complaints.

It's funny, when people don't complain as much, while playing other games.

Is that the special Martyrdom Edition?

Yeah, in this version you get a perk called "Slaughterdom" every time you get shot, sprint, or reload, it drops twelve grenades. It's pretty cool.

Let me guess. Its like 15 extra bucks to unlock it with DLC that's already on the disk right?

Actually, you get this perk if you spend the majority of the games screaming incoherently into your mic, you can unlock it even faster if you start playing grainy versions of songs through your mic mid-game. Oh, and team-killing helps.

Probably get a bonus if its a Rap song

Oh yeah, I saw somebody unlock it in one match by using Lil' Wayne.

Meh, it was much worse in COD2 if I remember correctly

 

[Not-here-anymore]

It's not so bad in MW2 - you only have one frag/semtex, so they usually get used less randomly. I say usually, but there's always a couple of people who hurl them in the vague direction of an enemy spawn point... But there's no way to stop spam without removing grenades completely, and then you can't combat campers effectively. Which is worse; grenade spam or (non-sniping) campers?

Are we counting the noob-tube as grenades? Yes, noob-tube spam is a problem, but at least 9 times out of 10 they're at least vaguely aiming at you when they shoot! I hadn't seen that problem before though... I might start using one man army more often! (Or not)

One thing I think would help a bucket load would be to make the grenades much more visible, I mean the grenade-danger indicator is pretty poor at indicating where the grenade actually is and where you have to go to avoid it.

You don't know if you are far enough away till it is too late, you can't see it till it has landed on the ground.

What would help a bundle is if the grenades were glowing and bright, as if there was a flashing LED mounted on them or a there was some HUD based overlay. And along with that a beeping noise for any armed grenade, people are able to avoid enemy gunfire, especially if they use headphones or surround-sound speakers, this would be fine for grenades. The beeps could also increase in frequency as the grenade timer counts down indicating how much time you have.

Grenade spammer haters better avoid the original Bad Company. Grenades are one-hit kills and every class (except sniper) gets about 5 each.

 

[BENZOOKA]

Grenades are grenades. I haven't got a single problem with this in the FPS's I play.

The rules are the same for everyone, if you have a problem with camping/sniping/knifing/grenades, you just suck because you can't do the same things others can.

It seems like this is mainly about CoD games. Sigh.

What about noob tubes, do I unlock one for my pistol? My 1 noob tube on my M16 with stopping power just runs out to fast

 

[Alex909]

Uncharted 2 is worst at this. Grenades are random, sometimes they take 3 seconds to explode, others you won't even register they're there before they explode. And people will just run into a room, see one guy and drop a grenade and run away like the cowards they are.

Sometimes I have no idea why I still play that multiplayer...

 

[Nivag the Owl]

You should see what it's like in 2142. Just throw down (or find) an ammunition kit and throw 'nades 'til your hears content!

Sorry, no grenade launchers for pistols. You'll have to settle for a grenade launcher with an attached grenade launcher that launches claymores, grenades, and RPGs.

I hate nade spamming in FPS games.

It's why I gravitated to TF2. Only person spamming grenades is the Demoman

or the solly, but with direct hit missiles (fortunatly there are pro-pyro's,and pro-spies the demo's/sollies wordt nightmare)

nadespam is bad, but atleast you can throw them back (i don't play Cod myself anymore, because i got angry with the nade/chopper/airstrike spam, and the multiplayer patches for CoD4 took too long to download. and then they failed me , and i had to do it again

 

[Alarien]

Err... anyone complaining about grenades being random or annoying in COD4 single/multi or Uncharted 2 or ... any other game obviously didn't spend enough time playing COD5: Grenades at War on Veteran.

I literally started counting at one point (storming the Reichstag) and counted 20 distinct grenade "clinks" within about 6-7 seconds.

 

[Twilight_guy]

grenades are always a bother and no one like them be use they do huge damage and have splash damage. I like the TF2 solution of: remove them entirely. they created one specific class that uses explosives and only explosives so that spamming is discouraged because that is the only weapon you will have. It still works and pisses people off but at least only 1 in 9 guys can do it.
