Grenades actually go out on the first tap of the L2 button and throws seem more accurate. Your shots have tracer effects that allow you to adjust fire a lot better as well.
Still some lag and some freezing but hey, I can certainly deal. Very impressed and it is evident CCP listened to folks who were providing constructive feedback throughout the process. I never really doubted them but nice to see them come through with such a substantial impact :) Yeah, I love the changes with the grenades, as i tend to use them in all the fps that i play. And did you notice that you can resupply them now with a nanohive? The team that i played with had a bunch of hives out and i loved getting my frag- fest on!
I agree completely! They feel much better to use now.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I have not been able to see explosions from other players grenades, friendly or not. Mine seem to blow up nice and pretty, but occasionally I'll see a nade on the ground that isn't mine and it just goes away with no kabloom... Get's very frustrating when you randomly die and not sure why until you read it.
Plenty of people in game have been calling for grenade indicators because of this, which I disagree with. More noticeable explosions could help to get in the mindset of being weary of nades, but right now it's in the back of my mind because I never see them other than written up on the kill feed.
Unless the indicator starts with a very small radius and doesn't show which direction the nade is, I don't think it belongs in this game. If they do plan on it, maybe could have skills to improve it. After level 3 Grenades your indicator could expand its radius and show the exact location of the grenade. Any thoughts? |

Hahaha amazing!

Anyways, when the game works and when there are no hickups the game works very well now. There are no vehicles to spoil the fight so all matches I've been in have been very enjoyable. Apart from that one match with a tank, of course. That was one-sided and dull. But all others were nice.
+1 on that. Have a blast when its not frozen! I've seen a few tanks now, depends on your teams communication. They are still weak so not much of a threat unless nobody can work together to get it out, which unfortunately I have to admit, seems to be how most matches are recently.
What I'm really worried about is when people start bringing dropships out  |
