Don't be gay.

Hahaha. I think, as cool as that would be it'd be rock hard to code.

maybe not kicking it or anything but maybe if someone laid on top of it, then their body could take the blast instead of it killing everyone by it.

but maybe that instead of the kicking thing if it doesn't work. or both. whatever

If so, what are the chances of that happening? 0%?

It was they were moving to assist some troops that wee taking rifle and mortar fire. And as they arrived they got hit. No one was hurt in the engagement far as I know though so that's good

As for the chances of it happening, probably like -1% lol

maybe im really immature, but i thought that was the funniest thing ive read on these boards.

ahh, anyway, i dunno. what button would you press to do this? i think it would blow you up too soon. although you could then play soccer with smoke grenades or med packs. thatd be kind of cool.

i think we are losing sight of the "war game" if u had it so u ran into a grenade to kick it.. that means if u threw a grenade at a moving soldier it would just bounce off them and fly away.. this is highly stupid, but i do c laying on a grenade as being "playable" maybe just having the proximity of the proned player(1 foot) masks the explosion? could still have the animation but just not the damage, and making the player instantly die so the instant it blows up if a player meets the parameters it changes from a grenade explosion to a player specific death?

what the fuck. you guys seem to think if you kick a 5 lb steel ball with other metal shit sticking out its going to go flying like a soccer ball...NO

it will just go like 5 feet and break your toes.

How about you can pick up the grenade like you pick up a PKM and throw it back? That's definitely possible.

I see what you're getting here but that's way too hard...

Okay, so you have a rifleman kit and a grenade lands near you. You then have to press G to drop your current kit and pick up the grenade "kit" and throw it back? Yeah, how would you make it explode if it's in your hand right that second? What if you just "keep" the grenade "kit"...?

I think that's what you're thinking of, right...?

SGT.Collado · Post by **SGT.Collado** » 2007-04-11 00:29

Not really. I was thinking you could still keep your current kit but a live grenade could be looked upon in the game as a special kit or something that you pick up but you don't really throw your current kit away.

Kinda like in Americas Army where you can actually pick up grenades, but not live.

Some of the larger fragments would still go through him and his fragmentation vest (assuming he is wearing one; otherwise smaller fragments would go through him too), injuring anyone near him.

Unless he was wearing dragonskin armor. However we are not fielding that with our soldiers.

I agree with 0rpheus, how slow do you kick dude, 2 seconds? You would suck at soccer.

I think it would be a cool addition, but it seems as though it would be a little hard to program, and who ever really notices a grenade in time to get up and kick it in game, you probably just think, 'meh, its 40 seconds off play time.'

Better idea:
Let us to cook a granade, and then there will be no need for kicking, picking or ... in pants! But this would be a really worth thing. I can't count how much times I've wished that I would be able to do it.
I just throw in a nade, the enemy carefully observes it, and when he is finally clear about that it's really a nade, he calmly puts down hes food from one hand, goes behind a corner, eats another bit while reloading his weapon and/or preparing another nade, and then waits for the abrushing squad with a little surprise. Or if he isn't eating, he may run out and shot me before I can get back my weapon... Not to mentation, that it's pretty funny if you hear somebody shouting granade or kumbula at the door before you actually see it.
And it's even worse with flashbangs! It's completly unusable without cooking. You just see it and you have about 2 sec too watch some other direction.
How cool would it be with cooking. Especially with flashbang in a 2 man squad...

I don't think hand grenades weigh 5 lbs and IRL you could kick it away.
Maybe someone should test the idea of going prone on a nade to see how it affects the damage radius.

Post by **Dunehunter** » 2007-09-18 14:36

As far as I can tell, going prone on it does not help. I am yet to try valiantly pushing an other squad member on it to save the squad's life though, maybe that'll work.

Like, if you see one landing right infront of you while you're behind a cover you'd have to run away and you'd probably get shot but if you're able to kick it away from yourself, which I think most solders in real life would do, you'd be fine. Or maybe even pick it up and throw it at the enemy? But yeah, I know, engine limitations and stuf....But maybe it's possible...?

Huuum put you're self in Reality, try to imagine you're self facing a live grenade... tha last thing you gonna do is kick it... i'm pretty sure you will run from it... not kick it... if you kick it then it blown ? you lose you're legs... try to do war whitout a leg... pretty hard huh ? so if you want a good tips : When you see grenade....RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you can kick a grenade, I can see it now.

RUN ?
How fast can you run ?
Lets just say you can sprint 15mph which would be about 22 feet per sec.
The grenade, on the other hand, will explode and move about 26,400 feet per second.....how far do you think you will get ?
