I played with flashbangs in a game once. GoJ mod (Gods of Jules I think... the last word isn't right) It wasn't all that devastating, more like really annoying. It also just got people to spam all their nades and spray madly. They were kind of cool, but mostly just annoying than tactical. I say no for both. Smokes would be 90% useless unless they took up a really large area and/or lasted a very long time. In both cases, and in flashbangs case, it just promotes spraying.

Maybe instead of smoke grenades, incendiary grenades?

Would add lots of interesting gameplay such as not risking your health in a R/S match.

Or trying to stay alive as long as possible to get those kills.

If you don't know yet, this topic has been necroposted by "Everybodys Homefry". The last post before the necropost was 08 November 2008 so stop posting here.

Also, F11, this isn't CS.

Who cares?

It's not a problem until a moderator locks it.

November isn't even far away.

I 12'd by the way.

One month is not really a necropost, especially when the topic is still completely valid.

Eeee, Flashbangs, that brought back memories. Scooped this video out of my archives and uploaded it :3

Oh YES! I've been looking for that. I remember thinking that was such an awesome idea! How come that was never implemented?

Eew...

The video's good and the flashbang effect is good, but thinking of it having as a Soldat feature makes me want to puke, seriously.

But to who would affect that? I still think it's not a good idea.

smoke grenades... just imagine it!
how many tactics will be opened :O !
it will be good. BUT! only 1. and spawns like clusters :)

FLASH?!!! no waaay.... did you think about epileptic people?!!!
zomg: flashbangs in soldat xD NEVER! its fckin annoying!

my idea is for Signal Flare ;D it can be not very usefull but cool. it must be seen at the border of the screen (color can be set red for alpha and blue for bravo)

Oh! wait! in 1.5 there will be a msg in kill-cosole, right?
hmm :| ... idea delayed  :(

Awsome idea!
I'm for only adding smoke grenades since I think flash bangs would be irritating
(if made like in cs:s, white screen of doom :P)

Smoke is a terrible idea - it's useless, and I think it's only gonna cause more lag. In normal Soldat, you can always see what's going on. In realistic, there's already a disadvantage of only being able to see what your Soldat can see (in front of him). The smoke's only gonna make it easier to predict your location.

Flashbang? I don't see how it will work. It's a 2D game, not 3D. It'd be easy to avoid the flash if there is a radius limit, and if its too large it's only more annoying than useful. Again, not practical and may only cause more lag and complaints.

F11.
Flash bang would easily work just use a small explosion circle and who ever is quit in there get's blinded for 5-10 seconds not to hard.
