Flashbangs

[UnrealAlex]

Arg I keep trying to use them but they never help me!

I always chuck them places before I go in and only like once, in 8 hours of gameplay have they actually blinded someoe and I was able to kill him.

I tried them on karkand too, doesnt work too well

Re: Flashbangs

Once you start playing a map enough, you learn the spawn points and areas where people are usually bottle-necked, or stuck fighting. Just make sure that when you throw a flash bang, get out of its range immediately. If you look at your crosshair, you will actually score a 'hit' [its that quick X that flashes on your screen] and that means that someone was blinded by your flashbang.

Remember flashbangs not only nullify your sight and sound, but they also nullify your radar [makes UAVs useless to the person who was just flashed].

Re: Flashbangs

Sometimes when the X shows up you've only partially blinded them and they can probably already see again by the time you get to them. Just make sure to throw them somewhere close then hide behind a wall, then when you see the X rush in because it doesn't last long unless they look right at it.

Re: Flashbangs

the flashbangs are bugged, this is just a fact, some teammate who had the F2000 died in front of me, so I took his kit and tried those flash bangs, I trow the first one in front of me (like 2m) it just does "puf" not blinding or nothing.

the second one did the job and I was blinded big time.

Then went to the fences at karkand, trow a flashbang, nothing happens, trow another one and bam, you directly see the enemey's running around like chickens, went in and killed most of them before I got TK'd from a nade whore

they also take to long to explode, in americas army, when you trow a flash bang, two or three sec later it BANGS

Re: Flashbangs

does the X happen when you get em coughing and dizzy with tear gas too?

Re: Flashbangs

Nope -- you just have to hope they didn't have a gas mask on

The tear gas grenades actually explode though in a ball of smoke -- there's always a good chance if they're not looking at you -- they didn't have a gas mask on.

Usually when people are gassed you don't see them moving around a whole lot [I'm still not sure if you can hear them coughing].
