Exploding gernades
« on: July 06, 2006, 09:27:15 pm »
Well, first thing you thought of when clicking this was I was an idiot, because clearly gernades explode, and are already in the game,

But what you are now reading is something close but slighty different to the subject.

Constantly, when I have been busting out the spaz, I've thrown my nades at someone or cluster nades and need them to explode at that very moment, so I shoot them.

What happens? Nothing. That's right.

My sugguestion is to have gernades explode when shot. It would increase the strategy used by gernades many fold.

Again like before, any other ideas to improve this concept?

Yes, I have always wanted this feature.
I like & support this idea.

It would probably only just take a few more lines od delphi and shoulden't be too hard to implement.

This is a good idea. It would be useful if you throw a nade and you need to detonate it right away, like throwing one in mid-air at an enemy and if it misses, you can shoot it to cause splash damage. ;)

The problem is your using gernades, you need grenades.

This is ridiculous. When someone is spraying you and you throw a nade at them, the last thing you want is the nade blowing up in your face due to the shots hitting the nade. Leave it as it is.

Not a bad idea.

Edit: Actually, now that I've though of it a little more... Yes, bad idea.

Fail.

It was fairly obvious that that was deliberately wrong, if you were paying any attention at all. :P

obvious or not, what's relevant is that you're wasting your time. 8) 99.99% chance he already knows how to spell the word, so he evidently doesn't care. So stop looking for easy ways to increase your post count :P

Zero72: If you're going to correct someone's your/you're, link someone to this thread.

However, I think it's now irrelevant and you need to get back on topic. ;)

No, it would not. Grenades are not weapons to be detonated before they come in contact with the enemy. If you need to shoot a thrown grenade to make it explode near an enemy, then what makes you think you could actually hit the grenade -- a far, far smaller target -- when you were unable to strike the enemy with it in the first place? It just doesn't make sense.

Nades would be too easy to counter, they would be useless in an auto firefight.

what would happen in real life?

ding-ding the grenade would explode and I just don't think that you could actually hit the grenade in air with anything except spas so I support this idea

what would happen in real life?

In real-life headshots by any weapon would kill. Seople would not be able to leap three stories tall nor fall several stories and survive. You don't see soldiers equipped with rocket boots, and if they had them, they simply would not be able to lay in a prone position to "fly" in the air. Guns do not have infinite ammo. There is no Predator bonuses in war. Throwing an explosive at your feet would not result in a higher leap but in death, and so on and so forth.

Real-Life™ has no place in Soldat, or at the very least shouldn't be given as a reason as to why something should be included in the game.

^ Which is why Soldat rules.

It's real.... to an extent

And this idea gets my 'no' because of the whole spray epidemic

When was the last time you shot a grenade coming towards you? Yeah, never.

Not only would this cause issues with Soldat but it would make grenades useless.

Grenades are fine as they are. If you don't want to get hit by a grenade, avoid it. That's all there is to it.
