Could someone please refresh my memory or something, but i DISTINCTLY remember that the dev's were NOT going to put in hand grenades but now I've been hearing rumors + pictures about a HG in NS.
yeah, they are there, they need major tweaking, and they used to lag servers to hell and back <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Correct. At one point in time, at least one dev stated, specifically, that they would not put in hand grenades. Long time ago. However, more options is something I'm all for... That, and pudgy gorgie bottoms. Yeh for gorgies!

Due to the way combat is set up, you spawn with 2 clips in reserve for every weapon you spawn with... Including hand grenades. It normally just discards the other two after using the first one... but there is a way to exploit the system and use all three.. although its hardly worth it.
thank god for playtesting <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
The marines needed a way to get kharaa out of vents. Flamethrower idea isn't working out so hot. Devs found a way to make grenades useful for vent clearing, but not for spamming (I'm hoping). Tada! Grenades!
