    I've never used either Smoke Grenade or the Radar Smoke Grenade, except once or twice picking up a kit with them in it.

    The MM bait is great for taking down walkers on maps like Gib. You can put your mines behind a crate or barricade. If the walker isn't close enough to trip them, use your bait and throw it at the walker. Takes the mines right to it. Also on NS, put your mines ahead of where the Goliath is going, when it gets close, throw the bait at the side of the Goliath so they all go off at once in the side. Add in a Pilum shot and down goes the goliath if it has any damage already done to it.

      to date, I've never used the radar grenade or the sniper decoy. *shrug*

      The radar grenade I just don't ever see myself giving up rockets or the defib to use. The sniper decoy... well, I don't do Recon all that often unless I'm defending the titan corridors, and if that's the case, I kit the RDX and APMs, naturally.

          Yeah, I carry the smoke because there are so many guys with rockets that someone needs to help get into the corridor/core. I find it can be pretty easy to get into the core if you smoke it up after one of your teamates trips the apms/rdxs at the entrance, then you can usually sneak in, run to the back, and kill a lot or all of the defenders in the confusion.

            I find the smoke/radar grenades to be pretty useless. I haven't used the sniper decoy either. I've only used the support shield thing maybe once or twice. That is not to say, however that I think it is useless.

              The three unlocks I least use are, oddly enough, the Voss, the Clark, and the Herzog. I'm just not a CQC type of guy. I'd rather kill you at a distance.

                the herzog is a good gun if you know how to use it. the shield makes you OP as you can doplhin dive and have cover whereever you are. and if you know how to use it you can let nades bounce of and have good cover vs enemies. if you have a good place it can make you immortal(except for rockets and vehicles). just shoot "around the corner" with your ganz or lmg. it isnt great for cqc. but it doesnt suck either.the ghost can give you good hideout. especially if you are the last on alive of your team. use it as cover when you take the flag.

                  I have probably found a use for pretty much everything in my time except for the smoke nades and the pulse scanner. The nades make you just as blind as the enemy so don't really see the point. As for the pulse meter - never even taken it out of the box.

                    Most weapons on this game have became useless.

                      Maybe you're useless at using them? That's an honest to God silly statement to make.

                          I've tried that, but it only ever worked one time for me, and even that time the shields had pretty much just dropped and they didn't have many guys defending yet. I'd try to dump the smoke in there and to make the run but me and my guys would still end up shredded by LMGs and/or grenade bits if there's any kind of reasonable defenders present at all. :p

                            motion mine bait is awesome its great for clearing mines of the titan hanger shield.
                            and you don't have to leave the hanger to use it.
                            now unlock i don't use smoke nade meh.
                            That's what I think makes this game superb. The fact that most people have most of the unlocks and yet have totally different preferences as to what to use.

                            As said, I've never used the mine bait, but others don't use the scanners?? In titan defense role, I couldn't live without them :). As an engi - sticking the vehicle scanner on the rear wall next to the turret controls gives a great sweep for inbound vehicles - especially when your shield goes down. Quite often, I've switched turrets from bombarding an incoming APC below and then seeing an approaching air transport and nailing that before it lands too. It also helps fending off those smart-asses in gunships who immediately charge across the map and try to destroy the turret guns.

                            Also in titan defense as support. Sticking the scanner on those containers in the cargo bay pretty much covers all four possible approaches into the titan. If you're in a squad or with other team members who are at least half-awake, that scanner is invaluable.

                              Smoke and radar grenades. How I wish I had saved my unlocks for something useful.
