I have to admit, I despise picking up clusters. I find normal grenades much more useful.

Clusters don't (seem to) do that much damage unless all the clusters hit, so yes I agree that there should be more fragments.

Everyone does. Yes, clusters have their uses, but in many cases, clusters are not as practical as normal nades and situations whereby the clusters are usable are rare. Each cluster fragment does very little damage and its explosion radius is small, though usually the clusters spread out over a wide area and actually has greater stopping power.

Adding more fragments simply make its spread wider and increases maximum damage output. It may be a bit better that way, but ultimately, clusters aren't going to be used anytime soon.

Yeah well... being from a bonus box you'd expect them to have a little more kick, at the moment they're just pathetic. It might not be so bad if it reverted back to your normal grenades after you used them, but no, once you've thrown all your clusters you've got to find a grenade box once more.

It needs to give you the same amount of clusters as the max amount of grenades on the server, increase the amount of fragments, and give each piece a bigger blast radius. As they stand right now, they're kind of a joke.

Grenades are particularly overpowered, increase the damage, reduce the blast radius and increase the time between throws, and also limiting the amount you could carry to two would be awesome.

It's up to the mappers to fix it.

I think the default setting should be 1 nade tops. Maybe 2, but that's generous. More nades is silly.

Only the most professional servers have their nade limit set to 2, other than that it's a crime, for the more average servers it's 3. Which is the best possible setting considering most of those are 2vs2 servers at the minimum, going all the way to 8vs8 and more.

The most professional? What makes the server more professional if it has less nades to use? Uhuh I'd say there are more crappy people playing on such servers than there are in a server which has 3.

What makes it professional? The fact that you have no way of using excessive spamming...

Why are SCTFL & the gather servers using 3 nades then?

Cause they're official, and open to the public places that welcome "newbies" and other weak players.

In my opinion, and I know I will piss people off, nades need a bigger blast radius and more damage, carry amount should be reduced to a max of three and not four.

I am entitled to my own opinion. I got this from modding the guns myself

I'm for increasing fire interval but that's about it. To say they are overpowered is fairly false.
