"Shrapnel"

I think the effect grenades have is fine, right now.

[dead fish12345]

i was thinkin if the shrapnell hit u it would do more damage like in real life!
it would be sweet ! just a sugestion tho. my spelliing is teh suxor

[Smitty4212]

I'm not sure if it'd be possible, although like I said, I think the effect is fine right now. For all we know, the effect may already be mimicked by BF2. It certainly seems like sometimes frags that should've killed me didn't, while others that were farther away did. They might just have the general explosion properties like other things, though, I suppose.

Increasing the explosion/kill radius is the best way. Which is already beefed up for the mod.

[dead fish12345]

i dont think u understand what imm saying the granade shoots out shrapnell along with a exposion like a real neade( like a shot gun)

[Dylan]

Uhm...Yeah...I do understand. In the game its the explosion that kills you though, and you cannot change that. Adding pretty little effects is all your asking.

[dead fish12345]

it would be kool tho

[dead fish12345]

i dont know if you can make this but it would be REALY realistic
i would die to see shrapnell coming out of greanades and shooting every were so u can get kills from farther away from the grenade with the flying shreapnell like a shot gun!!

KEY: O nade '":":": shrapnell

oh btw does the grenade launcher have a spherical damage area or a conic rear-oriented shrapnel area like the ones I used in the army ?

[Resjah]

dead fish12345 you already created a thread about this a while back .

I merged the two threads into one instead of just locking the new one.

[DJJ-Terror]

Frankly i like random shrapnell thing, if that's doable in game!

[dead fish12345]

yeh i forgot i posted that ... doh it would be realy kool if u got hit by a chunk of metal it would do more damage or somthin

[Guerra norte]

You mean something like at the end of this video? http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=705675169925203364&q=Dslyecxi

[DJJ-Terror]

yes

[{GD}StevenGarcia]

I agree. Infiltration is an excellent example of nades done correctly.

[Army Musician]

some how I seem to remember suggesting a few months back regards the
L109 Hand Grenade used by the British and it can cause casualties up to
190m.

P.S. no I aint flaming, I am just mentioning that it has already been mentioned

[Top_Cat_AxJnAt]

Any chance of abit a larger radius on the shock affect. The visual and sound blur affect plays a large role in the affect of grenades, it is this that makes people more aware of when one goes off and in long run ensures people take cover.

It reminds players of the danger that grenades pose, and a i think a slightly increased shock area would be only benificial to PR gameplay and development of players in tactical terms.

[dead fish12345]

thats EXACTLY wat i would like to see on the grenades
