Grenade throwing > effective weapon range

Yes it is rant day for me

You've all been there, you're prone and firing at a target who is bunnyhopping like a mad man, throwing nades your way.

The funny thing is, with these rubber-bullet weapons, it takes longer for you to kill someone then it takes them to throw a nade. Part of that is the distance involved.

How many times have I died from a grenade that was tossed further than the effective firing range of my weapon? While my proned->scoped->short burst *** is trying to take him out (and the bullets fly everywhere else but the target). I see an unbelievably long throw of a nade that lands on my head and <boom> I'm dead.

This has happened to me as a sniper too, where you'd think range is an advantage... No, it isn't. If the nade doesn't quite reach you (though many still do) a quick jump->dive->prone with the PKM will provide a superior snipe that again ends in my death. Fun fun fun.

Now we all know why nades are so prevalent and used in the game - because they are more effective than the weapons. So effective that a bunnyhopping nade tosser will end the round with triple the score I do - I'd do it myself but nading is hella boring.

EA has dropped the ball in some many respects in this game it's crazy...

I like BF2 and still play it, but now it's just a matter of 'playing the game until the ******** is too overwhelming" then I leave it for awhile.

Another example that shows how f*cked up (arcade) BF2 really is.

Re: Grenade throwing &gt; effective weapon range

Why the hell do people post about karkand anymore everyone knows what it is and how bad it is and that anyone that bit**'s about it is the one that is calling the person that killed you a hacker ex: so and so was killed [Hand Grenade] Little_billy_boy. Victim says "you hacker why dont you go and use a gun like a man would"

you are the only one here that did?

so why did you if you despise it so much?

Re: Grenade throwing &gt; effective weapon range

yeah....he never mentioned karkand.....but actually, grenades have an abnormally small blast radius(in other words, there should be a bigger boom). its the damn bunnyhopper who need to be stopped. theres no way that anybody could dodge bullets like that.

Ok you tell me one reason that people play karkand is it becuase of the nade throwing claymore spamming spawn rapeping? they play for the points and becuase it is most likely a 24/7 kark IO server there is well over a hundred or karkand servers and most of them are populated. I left bf2 and went to SF and it is way better playing on Surge then playing on a 24/7 IO karkand. But then since some of my friends are still playing Vanilla I'll play a round or two with them on a server and it is always karkand and I am not a big nade thrower so I always get my *** handed to me when I play on karkand. So you tell me why you play karkand andy tell me.

Re: Grenade throwing &gt; effective weapon range

I agree, throwing distance is too long and it could possible be reduced a little. But I disagree that weapons range is small. All weapons have quite a range, you just have to trust yourself and shoot. M16 is very effective, even against snipers far, far away. AK needs some luck, but hits hard even far. I've found spamming nades at distance only useful to keep the enemy busy to finish them off with rifle, not to actually kill them. And whatever the grenade timer is, it is very well possible to kill one with almost any weapon in that time from grenade throw range.

One word: Skill (or lack of it, either way)

Re: Grenade throwing &gt; effective weapon range

This is a problem because of EA's briliant idea of a prone delay. The programers EA has working on this series are absolutely terrible. There are about 100 better ways to fix the pronespaming problem then making your character freeze like he got struck be lightning every time you try to get up. I find it really limiting and annoying.

the fact that you dont like karkand has nothing to do with this thread. ent|ty didnt mention it, and i cant read minds, but i have a feeling that Andy wanted to know why you brought it up, not why you hate it so much.

Plus, anything that is IO makes it 10-15 times worse. theres no tanks to wipe the noobs off the planet in IO, thus more people spam nades.

Re: Grenade throwing &gt; effective weapon range

Lol, would real soldiers starting jumping around screaming,"FRAG OUT!!"? While the opposing force is screaming,"n00b nad3 5pammz0r!!" And in real life, bullets do hit their target. xD Unlike BF2

The reason I made that remark was becuase when I think of nades I think of karkand since that is the #1 map that most people play if it is karkand and IO its a popular server I am sure.

Re: Grenade throwing &gt; effective weapon range

The weapon accuracy in BF2 are pathetic.

You cant even open up on a target 10ft infront of you without spraying everywhere.

Re: Grenade throwing &gt; effective weapon range

But there is 1 "upside" to BF2 hit detection, today I stafed an enemy who was running past a teammate, I did not interrupt my fire, I killed the enemy, & did not wound my comrade enough to get a "team damage". he did however have that "wtf?" look until he realized I killed any enemy right behind him that he did not see, & would have surely killed him
