Often times I get killed by grenades I never even seen, usually because it landed behind me. The grenade indicators only work if the grenade is in your line of sight, which can lead to frustrating instant-death scenarios. This problem is unique to Dust, most shooters show you an icon usually with an arrow at the edge of your screen pointing to the grenade's direction for when the grenade isn't in your line of sight; Dust's grenade indicators should be the same way. This would be like how you can still see Skirmish objectives on the corners of your HUD when the objectives are not in your line of sight.

I think this would help alleviate the grenade spam problems many have a problem with.

I disagree on this.
In the past there was NO grenade indicators and the nade game was still okay.
In fact, I was dissappointed when the indicator were introduced, it became so easy to spot them and tell red and blue nades from each other.
Also it took away much of the needed awareness for flying small objects on screen and listening to the sound of 'clank' on your feet.
So that's why I feel against further emphasizing nade markers. Like, no for the on screen hud trajectory of red nade.

If you want the element of surprise just cook the grenade, and blow up your enemy before he even has time to react.

It is realistic though. if you dont see the grenade through your own line of sight, you're not gonna know is there until it's late. Realism is not an excuse for bad game design, balance is always more important than realism. We have high tech suits with advanced sensors. Its unrealistic to not be able to detect it if its whithin our scan radius. Gû¦Gû+Supreme emperor god-kingpÇÉKAGEH¦PSHIpÇæ// Lord of the threads // Forum alt Gû¦Gû+
