Dissapointing new unlock!

[wardogHk]

Just unlocked the smoke-IDS grenade. To my big surprise I only have 1... I was thinking to start using it, but one smoke? useless.:shakehead:

Should have tried it as a field upgrade first.

Normally I would suggest picking up a kit that has it prior to unlocking it, but in this case nobody uses the nadar (which in and of itself is a clue I guess).

Re: Dissapointing new unlock!

what? you just unlocked it now? haven't you had NS for a while now?

and yeah, one of the most useless unlocks, along with IPS shield, smoke nade, stabilizer.

Re: Dissapointing new unlock!

Yup, it sucks on several levels. The smoke coverage is not good, you only have 1 and it takes forever to resupply, It use to take even longer but they "Fixed" that in a patch.

IPS Shield? :shakehead: don't get me started.

Re: Dissapointing new unlock!

if IPS shield wasn't neon lights and was clear instead, it might be more useful.

I only started playing Ns for like, 3 months and I dont play that often because It fell more laggy then the original. And Anyways I had the choice of unlocking the nadar or the RDX shotgun that i know isint worth a piece of crap. As for the IPS i got 32 kills with its precious help today

I've only found it to be useful in Titan coridors. Smoke then rush with several guys. You can usually clean them out pretty well.

exactly. Putting that infront of you makes it clear to the enemy. WHAT KIND OF TECH DEPARTMENT THOUGHT OF THIS ONE?

Re: Dissapointing new unlock!

it could be that the color pink might make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, therefore making you less aggressive and putting your gun away.

Nooooooo, it's actually VERY useful. ...If there's one guy camping somewhere to defend a flag, you throw it ahead of yourself before running into the capping zone, so he doesn't get the drop on you.

Particularly useful when your team have no commander.

It's better than the support IDS in a way, because you don't have to be in the place you want the scan in order to position it. The other nice thing is that if you throw it very far ahead of yourself (with a running jump) then it sweeps a big old area as it sails through the sky!
:thumbsup:

Honestly, the radar grenade is hella-cool! :nod:

Re: Dissapointing new unlock!

The issue with radar greande is not it's use, but it's quantity.

1 ONLY??? WHAT? What is this, throw before death thing?

Give us reasonable 5, I can see it's uses as SWAT tactic as squad leader. But one?

MOAR!

Re: Dissapointing new unlock!

i find that it can be useful like if your at an enemy flag and want to know if people are coming

but usually i just use rockets and the defibrillator

yes that is indeed a nice way to use it, but 1 smoke made my bonner go away...

Also work good in titan corridors!

Re: Dissapointing new unlock!

hey don't knock the RDX shotgun. It is best in Titan mode. Great for taking consoles and getting those pesky snipers that always camp the upper corridors. It's also nice because you can lob it into a corridor or reactor core and clear the RDX and APMS that people always leave for you. Also clears motion mines.
