Gas Mask + flashbangs

[Drunken_Polak]

I know some people have a habbit of just throwing on their gas mask as soon as they spawn, this does have its advantages (ie. not getting affected by gas if you encounter any). Im not entirely sure this is accurate but I tend to notice a decrease in stamina when running around in the gas mask, which makes sence. Dont forget it takes away whatever periferal vision you might have had with out the gas mask on, and in some cases thats really valuable.

If you know anything about swat, or swat tactics USE THEM! If you suspect enemys being in the room your about to enter, throw a flashbang or some tear gas in before you enter. Move quickly but surely checking all coners, and if your fortunate enough to have a good squad on VOIP, organize. Ie. 1st person checks left 2nd person checks right...etc. It doesnt have to be complicated.

I have heard other people say that their stamina is affected while wearing the gas mask.

Damn - Here I thought that you were going to say that gasmasks magically protects you from flashes.

Or throw both..it's great when u throw smoke..if they're not affected, they'll just back up or throw on the mask. That's when u throw a flashbang into the smoke and rush em. Of course u gotta have a squad with good teamwork to do so.

Mask limits your breathing therefore affecting your stamina while sprinting/jumping.

Tell me about it, I had to wear full NBC gear while carrying some fat knacker simulating a casualty on training, feels like you're suffocating if you aren't used to running around in one of those things....

It's better than no breathing at all...

It *could* be that this is related to the fact that you can´t sprint at all with a gas mask on.
..At least that´s what´s written in the SF manual.

Re: Gas Mask + flashbangs

wearing a gas mask is just terrible, it takes out half your dam screen vision, and teargas isn't used this much.

I would rather have some sunglasses against flash bangs, why can't I get them it's tons cheaper

i fail to see how the boarder of ur screen is 1/2 ur vision...plus in case u didnt know...flashbangs arent just bright lights...They use magnesium powder (flash) and mercury fulminate (bang) filler....The magnesium powder produces a blinding light while the mercury fulminate produces a deafening percussive noise...In reality this causes the person not able to function for roughly 1/2 a minute...and leaves them seriously disorented for another 1/2 minute.
basically what im saying...u could wear the sunglasses....but it would only be protecting your eyes from the suns UV rays...not the flashbangs...

I glad you know what you are talking about. Some people cry on this site about how something is fake, but in reality they really dont know. Im talking about people in general, not you rombaft.

it was a joke man, please.
And about the gas mask, I do think it's about 1/3 of your screen, I do use the edges of my screen and nothing will excape my vision what happens in the corners and the borders, wich a gasmask puts away.

if you ask me, this is a lot of your screen that isn't usable anymore, you will miss some essential things wich will make you get killed

Re: Gas Mask + flashbangs

It's all a big EA/DICE-conspiracy if you ask me... They WANT you to get killed more often so they put in the gasmask... It's right up there with the JFK-assasination and 9/11...
