The reason a 1 1/2 second fuze works so well in CS is because Even when your standing on TOP of a grenade it wont kill you. In real life, If youre anywhere within 25 yards of a grenade when it goes off, youre toast. personally, I would like to be able to cook the grenade in NS, Its an unwise tactic, and I think they should incorporate a random fuze with anywhere between 2 and 6 seconds. This way you CAN cook the grenade, But do so at your own risk. which is how it really is. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    thought nades were fused at 4-6 seconds? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->


    edit: as for grenades in NS, though i havent played with them yet. if they become a bit overrpowering it would be a pretty cool idea to have gorges spit or bilebomb disable the grenades (forms a coating of whatever that goo is or bile) to save early game ocs or attempt to

    Wouldn't it be nice if they would explode on contact with aliens like GL but on ground they just lay that 4secs.

    More useful against Lerks/Skulks but not too effective?

    Screw torches.
    /me passes out Brig's grenades.

    Poetic justice, anyone?

    Flayra is currently not opening any playtester spots...

    even if flay loved brigs model enough to put it in game...


    "closed" means closed... even to people with rights/responsabillities that are essential the NS at this point.

    (as an example, forum moderators (me) aren't allowed to test 3.0 unless they are in a veteran clan.... so if i ditch my clan, i ditch testing 3.0) <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Pretty sad really. People who make creative contributions to the game don't get to playtest while hoards of scripting veteran chancers (not saying they all are) get to playtest just for being in an active clan.

    one word : madness

    Ah yes, it was the tam-tam that is a variation on the gong.

    Day of defeat grenades are to unrealistic, sure, you can prime a grenade but the fuse isn't perfectly set at 5 seconds (especially in late WW2, german grenades had very varied fuse lengths and no soldier would want to hold it once the fuse was pulled, since they varied from 2 to 10 seconds).

    Of course, NS is the future and I'm sure we could get our fuses far more accurate than that. I could see how they'd be really useful too...have all the marines throw them in that vent in comp core all at once..stupid lerk spam <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> .

    I was told that hand grenades would NEVER be in...HA!


    All I can say is, "It's about freaking time!"


    How about a proiximity grenade? Timer is 4 seconds OR they detonate whenever an alien gets too close to one.

    I agree the DoD play of grenades is probably the best and easiest to bring over. Though there are things I don't like about thier set up. I do NOT like having to throw a grenade on the ground to prime it.
    1. It wastes time looking for the damn thing trying to find it and pick it up, when you should be watching the bad guy.
    2. Its audiable, you can hear a guy doing this and you can get ready to back off


    I doubt these are insurmountable problems to overcome. Other then that I think DoD has grenades just about right.
