<div class="IPBDescription">Gl question</div>how exactly do launched grenades act in game? i hope they dont fly thru the air SUPER slow like the default ones in HL. do they bounce around high/alot? whats the timer on the gren itself? do they explode when they hit teammates or just aliens? any other info would be good <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    I think they behave like TFC's Demoman's GL nades. (The blue pipes.)  They bounce alittle and will explode if it hits a enemy/teammate.  If they don't hit anything besides a wall, they will explode over time.

    hmm...pt's, but yea tfc's way was good...except they flew a bit slow...especially compared to the speed of some of the lower class aliens.  But im guessing GL's are meant for high class aliens <!--emo&::onos::--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tiny.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='::onos::'><!--endemo-->  and mostly buildings.

    Unless it hits an alien grenades bounce around for roughly 5 seconds (feels like an eternity in a firefight) before exploding.  Only aliens and the GL carrier are effected by GL explosions (which are large and very powerful).  The GL is slow firing with a very small clip.  I takes a special knack to aim the GL.  The GL is a heavy weapon and slows down its carrier very noticably.

    does the grenade have randomization to its aim also?

    He means if it fires at different heights/speeds/distance randomly.

    It's mainly used for taking down bases anyway, so I wouldn't be worried that much about any sort of randomization, the buildings arent going anywhere.

    No, it has no spread and a reliable parabola. It's hard enough for most people to aims as-is with out having extra missing injected.

    I carried an M203 in the Marine Corps for a bit; I wish I'd had this instead.
