Flash/Stun GrenadeTweet

[Groovelinx]

I've been having some fun with the flash and stun grenades. Although the frag is a staple on most setups, it doesn't help out too much in heads-up engagements, where you either have to cook them or hope that the enemy ignores the fuse long enough for it to detonate.

Meanwhile, these special grenades really come in handy in firefights, since they take effect almost instantly. You can throw one out there and immediately let loose fire while your enemy panics. I'd say the stun is a pinch more useful, since your enemies can still spray-and-pray while blinded, but it's got its uses.

So what do you guys think about the special grenades? Do you use them at all?

I don't but am thinking of using them for rushing. Like throw one into the phantom side of alert then rush in...gets you through the killzone alive...but I haven't used them yet.

I only use stun to slow the athelete players down. I like flash more because even though they can still move and shoot, the blast radius will still hit them even if it blows from behind and they are facing away. Flash is more fun for me, watching the enemy frantically shoot then hit them by surprise. Both grenades are great but it comes down to personal preference on which one you think is best.

Never. I always throw them and they end up ricocheting off some invisible troll wall and stunning me, which usually ends in death.

But then again, if it were a frag, you would've died anyways. If you get stunned, at least you can have your fingers crossed that there isn't an enemy nearby.

Not always because I usually have enough time to run away from a frag, while the others explode on impact.

flash sucks because of the giant ass radius. not saying that a big radius is a bad thing but you end up blinding youself most of the time and if you dont the enemy is probably so far away that the flash will be recovered from by then. semtex (sticky grenade) is not a viable option because it does not kill people with armor if they have full health and can get stuck on random things in the air and explode on yourself, something that has been a problem since mc2. incendiary grenade is just to annoy, and youd only use it to scare people off of taking you on, or defending a flag, both of which are better accomplished by shooting :/ frag and stuns are by far the best for obvious reasons.

This. I can't remember one time where a flash I threw didn't blind me and then resulted in my death.

I hardly come across people who uses stun grenades, but the people who do use it , knows how to use it effectively.

I've been trying to use flash grenades and they're bugging me greatly. I throw them far away and get flashed if I'm looking in the general direction. If I throw them and hide behind a wall, I still get flashed! I'm confused exactly how they work. And I'm never sure if I even flash banged anybody. I'm not feeling like these are worth my while.

Cook it and throw it up high in the air.

They need to give you hitmarkers for these things, like in CoD when you throw a stun or a flash it gives you a hitmarker if you got a guy with it
