If you want to continue and 1hko folks, then specialize into Proto nades, otherwise learn to shoot straight. What the hell is up with these stupid "rules of engagement" guys like you like to throw around? Seriously? "Don't throw a grenade, shoot first" That is stupid. This is war. Not a gentlemen's game. It is war, but if you're dumb enough to let me dump half a clip into you while you reach back to lazily toss a grenade before engaging, then that's your prerogative.
If you're dumping half a clip into someone and they're still managing to throw their grenade after you've done so, maybe YOU need to invest in better gear or learn to shoot straight... |

Please tell me o' defender of the 'nade spam, what super OP weapon of choice do you use in armor tanking 514, that allows you to kill everyone with half a clip, besides an HMG? Have you mastered time travel and use the Duvolle TAC, pre-nerf? You sure as hell aren't using a Mass Driver. Reds can toss both grenades before you get your third shot off. What I am saying is that by the time you press L2 and the animation finishes, you've given up any advantage you might have had in a 1v1.
I'm not defending nade spam.
I'm defending the abilities of Sniper Rifles, Combat Rifles, Shotguns, Rail Rifles and pretty much every weapon in the game because most of them can kill in less than half a clip if you're aiming for the head (and some of which can do it without headshots).
What I'm saying is that if you're throwing a grenade at someone who's already aware of your position, then yeah, that's kind of stupid except as a finisher when you just emptied your clip (and hopefully already killed somoene and are using the quick grenade throw to give yourself breathing room against another opponent). If you're opening on an UNAWARE enemy with a grenade though, that gives you a chance at a free kill, and a good head start as a worst-case scenario.
I think the decision to change grenades is a terrible one, not because they shouldn't have any changes, but because the changes themselves are terrible. |
