<div class="IPBDescription">visible to aliens as well</div>A laser pointer would do two things:
1. it would allow marine players to more accurately fire grenades around corners and into vents ( yes i know grenades fly in a curve, but the laser would be a rough guide, to see which walls/floors your grenade will bounce).
2. alien players could see the laser so that they have a split second more warning before a potential death.
When the grenade launcher button is held down, the laser turns on, when the button is let go, the grenade fires and the laser turns off again.
so you aim by holding down mouse 1, and fire by letting go when you have aligned your angles.
I think this would work well since the grenade launcher isn't a fast firing or instant hit weapon anyway. And you can still fire quickly if you don't want to aim accuratel, just as you do now.

hmm sorry i didn't explain it properly i meant for the laser pointer to actually bounce off the wall - drawing a rough path around the corner :)
