Remove the 'sound' for throw a grenade

Simple suggestion.

Remove the 'sound' for throw a grenade. No more .."frag out" or "grenade!" etc..

Its annoying to sneak up on a bunker.. only to yell at the top of you voice.. "GRENADE!".. and everyone runs out of the bunker.

I dont believe the friendly fire argument holds up weight.

The only positive is.. it is exciting to be on the recieving end.. to have a nade thrown at you but with a warning.. ie.. panic and run like hell.

What do you think?

I've searched... the only thread i could find was this.. and the subject was mixed and confussed..and old.

If this has been discussed.. please re-direct me

, thank you.

I thought it should be removed because it was SO unrealistic. lol oh well thats what opinions are all about!.

Well at times, like when your sneaking up, its about as realistic as knocking on the buker door and asking if the minded pulling the pin out of the grenade and holding it for you.

Then again in other more typical assaults the grenade shout would seem to fit better.

Having it run a check for nearby friendlies would be too much work/hardcoded I guess?

How about auto-throw (left click) with sound and manual (right click) without. Often i use right click in such situations to just drop it throw a firing slit and you can still 'charge' it to full distance if needs be.

That's a good idea.

Not a military guy here, just saying this based of youtube. but dont soldiers tend to scream 'grenade' when they throw those things?

Yes, they do when they know or suspect that there might be friendlies around. But imagine that you left the rest of your squad, and are sneaking behind enemy lines, and find a full bunker, where you are absolutely 100% sure that there are no friendlies? You can't gun them all down, and screaming "Grenade!" will just bring half of them outside before the grenade goes off.

The problem is that in BF2 this is not a problem because if you are shot with a live grenade in your hand ..... nothing happens. Whereas irl it would probably kill/injure a colleague - hence the warning that one is about to be thrown.

Yep whenever i hear the yelling
"GRENADE!" or "PUKOLOOOO" i run

But Militia's taunt is funny. Why do they have two of them? Whenever I toss a grenade, guy either says "granata" or "efka". WTF is "efka"?

That is a risk you will just have to live with if you use the 'no sound' option.

Leaving the squad does not neccessarily mean that he is several miles away from his buddies.

They could easily be just 100-200 m away and his SL gave the order "check this bunker out" while the rest of the squad does something else.
