Re: Grenades is the new "trend"?

It's an easy way to get kills and it's what makes the support kit great. The fact that you can throw them so far and that the enemy can't even see you makes them even more powerful.
Yesterday I had a k/d of 20/0 in the beginning of a round in Karkand

I don't agree with you, I think the support rifles are enough accurate the way they are. Just shoot in bursts in single at long range

I think this guy I was shooting had some kind of cheat
nobody can take that many hits I mean he was flipping around
like a ragdoll taking the hits. But still was able to shoot me with
one round of his pistol.

PKM was better before, I noticed that its better at long distance than
short which makes no sense.
Maybe I got a glitch???

Re: Grenades is the new "trend"?

Hey off the subject but, have you noticed the Support guns suck
after 1.3? Especialy the PKM???!!!!
I had a guy in a corner yesterday and unloaded over 80 rounds
into him and turned around and shot me with a pistol
i mean WTF?
I mean I know they arent the most accurate (over 100 yards that is)
but at 5 feet, give me a break!

No thats not 1.3, and yes it happens to everone from time to time.
I often wonder how people can survive a round from my pump shotty
point blank in the face. I don't think they would have enough brain matter left to even react much less be alive.

Re: Grenades is the new "trend"?

Yea I know, I use the same tactic as you. I try to aim for the alley just beneath where the first flag is, lots of people spawn there.

thanks for the tip, im going to do that as soon as i finish on the forum!!

Re: Grenades is the new "trend"?

Ok, so using grenades is no longer 'fair'? How about vehicles? Or should we just start the round with our backs to each other, walk ten paces, turn and fire? It'll be the ultimate game! ... Until of course people don't stand completely still, or use an 'unfair' weapon, but at least then there'll be something else to bitch about :)

Re: Grenades is the new "trend"?

PKM is still awsome long and short...the trick to long is controled single shot or a burst with a reasonable time between them..maybe 1-2 seconds.

The worse part I see lately with the PKM is hitting moving targets going across you, not away or towards.

after about 14k with the PKM and 1400 nade kills and plenty of hours as support I have mastered the art of presision nading and PKM mayhem :)

Re: Grenades is the new "trend"?

God damn... it seems every time I see an enemy, he just throws grenades before he even attempts shooting his gun. I mean, 9/10 times. It's getting to be a pretty popular thing. It's pretty funny at close range because they go to pull out their grenades cause they can't aim with a gun and then I just pop em in the head with my L85A1 and they accuse me of hacking :laugh:.

But seriously people... you have a gun... use it please...

therse have a word for them. lets think.....oh god,what was it....hmmmm. ohh yeah,n00b was the word

Re: Grenades is the new "trend"?

I love shooting people who try grenade me.

I must say I use this tactic quite a bit. People's main reaction to seeing you is to drop prone and start hammerin you. Lob your grenade and even if you die you will get the kill (most of the time).

However I mainly use my firearm, and try use the grenades to either clear doorways or likely camping spots, or as a mini mortar when I can't rely on direct fire or to take advantage of CF's.

However one thing i do, especially on Karkand to counter the massed MEC charges is pull the grenade and hold the secondary fire and run with the grenade cocked and ready to throw. you can generally release and pull up your other weapon in time to start shooting them as they run from your grenade. Or if they drop to shoot you, your grenade kills them.

Re: Grenades is the new "trend"?

i don't have a problem with some1 who is using nades instead of a gun.. they are like 499234780 times as slow as me so i can shoot them very easy (between there eyes)

Re: Grenades is the new "trend"?

I don´t like nades because most people that use them, throw the nades without even nowing if they will kill a friend or a foe.

People that aim at a particular spot, just for the kill don´t know if team mates will be there when the nade explodes.

The start of karkand is ridiculous, when I am US I must wait 3 to 4 minutes just to start playing, waiting and waiting for the nade fest to end.

I am an average player, and I don´t mind beiing killed by a better player, but dying with a random throw of a grenade ticks me off.

Re: Grenades is the new "trend"?

That does bother me a little, but IRL something like that, would be acompanied by a mortar attack, artillery barrage, or even an air strike (as there are no civilians in the map).

It's all part of life or death.

What annoys me is when you are either tearing up a squad and some noob throws a grenade into the squad and kills one of them and you. Or you are obviously in the front wave of an attack and throw a grenade at a likely hiding spot or even ontop of an enemy and some noob runs up and practically stands on your grenade.

And then punishes you for it.

BTW, are people still capable of punishing? I haven't been punished in the last couple of says and I've done one or two stupid things. (Out of practice, been away for a month).
