Grenade Disgrace

cry more... go play a mans game with some I/O.

im not crying, and a mans game has vehicles not just IO:salute:

I don't see how it detracts from the game. While all those idiots are grenade spamming the right hand spawn in Karkand i'm having a great time moving in from the left cleaning them up with my M11 87. You are lucky it's only grenades. In real life it would be artillery, mortars, grenade launchers, claymores and then grenades. And probably lots of razorwire :)

Yep, pure nadespamming ain't the problem. pure nadespammers are easy to come by.
Thing is, that with the introduction of IO the nades are finally used.
There is a lot of spamming, true, but what would you do in RL (please ignore that in RL there are flags to cap)? Run into a flag you know that is defended without killing the enemies first, when you can just throw one, two nades and be comfortable capping the flag. Are vice versa, when you know they are at the flag ready to gun you down? you run into them with your gun out or you just nade them and be safe where you are?

I throw nades towards enemies, because it is a weapon to take down enemies, the nade is supposed to be used that way.
Nade spamming is more the constant throwing of nades to block the path the enemy would go, the nade is not supposed to be used that way.
Good to know that there is always a way to flank the nadespammers.

I agree with the others. If you in a vehicle server and getting nade spammed, then stop going to the typical spots. Any smart player will throw a nade to where the sheep are massing, so go around.

IO is a different kettle all together.

[Kayback]

I don't see how IO is such a different kettle of fish. The sheeps keep going to the same place, doing the same things and getting blown up. ElFipso. Funny you should say that. That's NOT how grenades are meant to be used. Area denial is the realm of mines. The Claymore should be used instead of grenade spam. And you know how much people here like the "gaymore"....

[Jlspence]

I don't see IO as different at all in terms of grenade spamming for even a decent player. If anything, the idiots that are killed repeatedly by grenade spam on IO are instead killed by camping armor and/or arty on vehicle servers but that's about it. Repeated stupid deaths either way.

In terms of using the grenade as a area denial weapon, you're correct Kayback; however, one has to use what they have and unless you're a Sniper, claymores won't be an option.

[Kayback]

True, thats the point i was sort of trying to make. iRL the area mine is used for area denial. BF just gives this ability to snipers. So yeah use what you have.

Incidently the area denial weapons (claymores, grenades and C4) are all frowned upon and called gay for some reason. However C4 seems to get more kudos than mines or grenades.

[waaah_wah]

Claymores ARE cheap:)

cry more... go play a mans game with some I/O.

Mans game? Boys play IO because they can't handle getting killed all the time on vehicles servers. Men play vehicles servers, and real men play as infantry on vehicles servers. There is nothing better than the satisfaction of destroying a vehicle vhile playing infantry. Learn to use the mines, AT missiles, C4 etc.

Karkand.... always starts off with grenades and is always annoying. Whats more annoying is getting hit by your own teammates grenade!

I havent seen that much nade spamming on 32 player Karkand. 64 player Karkand is extreme though...

It is indeed :) Full 64 player karkand IO is as extreme as it can get Gotta love the sound of 30+ nades at the sart of the round

extreme what though? extremely too much? its crazy, all those ammo bags , just nades everywhre, just no fun to me, wear it out if you like that.

[waaah_wah]

Yeah i hate 64p Karkand aswell... 32p can be fun when your playing with a friend or two:)

[solofowaffles]

No nade spam in PR:)

not always,the couple rounds ive played revolves around insurgents rushing the brit forward base lobbing grenades over.

[waaah_wah]

Heh:) Yeah that happens sometimes. But you cant keep on spamming them like you can in PR since they take a while to "reload", and you dont get instant ammo from ammo bags. Ammo bags work more like supplycrates.
