Commando Archive

Nobody uses 'em except for combat exp. Give them a purpose. I've been on many missions to wipe base defenses with aturret network...give us the option to toss grenades over the walls on turrets to find a niche for these weapons! It's sad to see an assault on a turret defense network littering the ground with bodies because one must have line of sight on it..when most times it would be much better to toss a satchel charge over the wall to put it out!

/agree...

ESPECIALLY if they ever getting around to making so that my flamethrower (or any other ranged weapon)doesn't shoot through solid earth through a hill becaus the terrain is invisible to LOS.

My main complaint with the grenades is that they only effect a 5m radius on the whole, yet if they're supposed to be exploisions then they need to cover at least a 15m range and that would make them a hell of alot more usefull.

Can you still get right up to turrets and kneel and avoid there fire?

but at least make it so that you must be able to see over the object, the last thing we want is people throwing nades through starport walls, right?

Dang that would be a great bonus for you commandos, great idea

Of course the down side is that would mean anyone could use grenades without LOS. They wouldn't do as much damage and be horribly innacurate but still be able to toss them without LOS restrictions.

It's a great idea, there is no reason why we shouldent be able to hide behind a rock or a wall and lob nades at people. And as far as anyone being able to use this skill.. I just laugh, as a master commando my accuracy is horrible with nades. Either way... great idea.

Grenades are awesome.....but need some help yeah.

This would be a great way to simulate being able to toss grenades around corners/over rocks/embankments, and at the same time give them a unique enough advantage that they would actually be useful (especially if normal LoS restrictions came back.)

They need a ground target like some spells have in DAoC

I agree with the los restictions. They should also be more accurate and have a greater blast area. Because if you think about it a grenade should be able to wipe a room of ppl. But as it is now.... lets say you miss...... your target does not get damaged. But how do you miss with a weapon that does, or should have a large area of damage. The way it is now makes no sense at all.
