Weird/Dumb Grenade Idea

[Ajnin Ezakimak]

Hey guys, I've got a crazy idea.

Actually, it's a pretty dumb idea.

You know how grenades explode when they hit enemies?  Let's put a stop to that.  I propose that in realistic games, there shouldn't be a "explode on contact" feature.  The grenades would automatically explode in 3 seconds.

However, there would be an additional feature of holding the grenade.

For example, if you pressed E, a light in the upper right would flash.  If you held it for 2 flashes, and let go of the E button, the grenade would fly through the air, and explode after 1 second.

If you held E for 1 second, it'd explode after 2 seconds.

What do you guys think?

(Realistic mode only).

[Ivarska]

uh...it sounds too complicated with that "1 secound = 2 secounds". and i don't like the idea. i guess the mean of soldat were the "explode-when-colliding" nades
would possible destroy the Soldat-feeling...

[papercut]

Like the grenades in Killzone, or the grenades in Cold Winter? Good idea, but I am already too familiar with the explode on contact grenades that soldat has.

[Ajnin Ezakimak]

It's in realistic mode only.

[homey188]

Realistic mode or not, why would this even be a good idea?

cooking grenades is dumb.

The idea is dumb

[Keron Cyst]

You can kinda do this as a weapon-mod. Give any weapon the grenade's bulletstyle; any grenades launched thereafter will lose their proximity-detonation feature.

Nuff said.

Well I like cooking grenades in most games, but impact grenades are better

[sakae]

impact grenades sure are better. but they are not realistic and also it is 5 seconds in soldat. but it would be good since I always gets random naded. in lannubia 70% of my deaths is by random nades. and with timed nades that would no more happend. but! I do not support this idea

[Horve]

basically, this is complication. Soldat needs simple, but effective improvements.

im actually starting to believe that "a-4-year-old" is really such.

give reason as to why this is dumb, i would love timed nades, as it would actually add some skill to use them, also, how many times have you been behind cover, only for an enemy nade to blow up when it hits the COVER for some inane reason.

and you know all the people who just chuck 40 nades down into a cave knowing that an enemy will die if any touch him, if their timed, he just has to be above the ground where they blow up.

in counter though, the guy up top could also cook them so they blow up mid air, fragging the poor bastard.

also, it would be funny to see majors hold the nade button too long and BOOM.

but for realistic mode, no, make it an individually selected option, it would piss off the people in realistic who had no say in the matter.

[Fitzpatrick]

I say go for it.
You can choose to cook.
Or you can choose not to cook.
Either way, something's gonna go "BOOM!" in the end!
Seriously, though, I see no problem with cooking grenades.

The main point of Soldat grenades is the contact explosion, take that away and they wouldn't be useful for very much unless given a drastic increase in power. And while cooking sounds nice, try holding the E button and moving at the same time. You will probably find it hard to move right.

[Keron Cyst]

... while cooking sounds nice, try holding the E button and moving at the same time. You will probably find it hard to move right.

That's why I have, and fully think the next Soldat version should have set as default, Throw Grenade set to space bar (make use of ALL your fingers, man)

Lance Corporal: give any weapon the grenade's bulletstyle. If you fire any "grenades" from the modded weapon, they lose their ability to explode upon proximity. You'll see why grenades would never be used

[F3nyx]

I like the idea of cooking grenades, but I don't really see the need for flashing lights and all that.

[papercut]

My cousin uses space bar for grenades. I personally find it harder to get used to, but It's obviously better.

[Hiro]

Cooking sounds nice, but is a bit dumb because in soldat holding "E" sets the distance. If I want to throw far, then the cooking will make a short fuse nade, so instead of throwing far I would get an explosion in midair.

I do however support timed only grenades in realistic, because they would be hard as anything to use and would be more realistic (because it is realistic mode)
