grenade physics

is it possible to change the grenade physics to make grenades less bouncy? (by adding weight)
It would be cool if grenades behaved a little more realistically

Where's jonny? I know he's looking into changing some of the gravity settings and, i think, grenade launcher trajectory/power. It's along those lines...

Anyways, you think the grenades are too bouncey? I don't think they are. Yeah they bounce off walls when you through them at one but it's not that bad.

How much do they bounch in RL then?

The GL physics is what needs a couple changes.. You hit a wall at a 45 degree angle and it bounces strait back at you! WTF!!

It's not only the 40mm nade that behaves odd.
The normal frags are also really weird. You toss one from a steep hill and instead of rolling down, it'll just move like 2 meters down and then stop.

I think the bouncing grenade launcher nades were added by EA in a patch later to prevent people from launching grenades all around.

Oldirti... I would not question Jonny's knowledge, I'm... well... assuming he knows what he's doing

how about making it possible to count the grenade down before throwing it?
like 1..2 then throw so it explodes exactly when u want it to.

+1 i use to love doing this in a lot of older games, eg bond on 64

NO! one of my favoutire PR games is bouncing nades off walls & corners like i'm playing grenade billiards. Dont remove the bounce...hell if i thew a nade a full strength against a wall it would bounce some, common.

jonny seems like you're building up a fan club

LOL to that second one

where'd you get it from?

Thats from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Probably one of the most classic and best comedies there is.

The hand grendade quote is in there.

so... you quote wikipedia for the source of a Monty Python quote... sad. Aren't you PR Modders from the UK anyway?

the grenade was used to destroy the rabbit, with big, nasty, sharp, teeth....
