Dud Grenades

[Daz]

What the hell. Many times I have made sure I have thrown the grenade at the enemies feet, been killed and waiting for the sound, and nothing. Even sometimes when I dont die, I throw one and wait there is no explosion. Whats up with this? yeah might be realistic or a bug but its annoying as I love my grenades and use them well.

This happened to anyone else?

Re: Dud Grenades

Never heard of it till now. Mine always blow. Worst thing happen to me is when i got shot throwing one and my squad runs in after and my nade teamkills one of them.

Re: Dud Grenades

probably lag, I've never heard of a nade not going off.... could be some type of lag involving the sound / etc.... I know I've been hit in helos by tanks/AT/etc.. and not heard any sound, just saw my health dip into the red...

It's the damn fuses that last for hours. I swear, if the RL military had nades like this, nothing would get done.

Example:

I was playing Sharaqi Peninsula and someone was taking our flag in the middle (one on top of the building) and I jumped down off the red beam and the guy was laying in the same place everyone does in the corner next to the box, and i threw a grenade, saw it land right infront of his face. There was a wall behind him so i doubt the grenade flew through that, and i know the guy couldnt havegot away in time. No sound no nothing. Its just weird.

Re: Dud Grenades

I wonder if you can throw yourself on a grenade to save your buddies?

Re: Dud Grenades

same problem here, but with no sound for Nade Launchers. No explosion, and there is no noise. When firing on an enemy, the guy just flies in the air like a normal nade launcher, but no explosion. It makes for some confusion when i get killed by one too.

Re: Dud Grenades

The clue here is 'when you die'. I've noticed a similar thing with like.. launching an AT rocket the split second before I die, knowing that it's a killing shot, and it not doing anything. It seems that if you die there's some chance or something that nullifies your grenade, etc. Don't ask me why, but I've noticed the same thing, and it's only when I die. If you've thrown the grenade and a good second later you die, it will probably blow up. But if it's really really close, then it just doesn't happen.
