Grenades too powerful

Post » Tue Dec 06, 2011 6:17 pm

Am i the only one who thinks the grenades are way too overpowered. My buddy and I played a match of crash site last night, i died 9 times, 7 of which came by grenade, and half of those i was in full armor with most of my health standin 5m+ distance away from the grenade and still died. It really is frustrating when the majority of your deaths come by grenades. I dont understand why crytek nerfed the grenades to make them more powerful, they were fine the way they originally were. There's no reason any grenade should kill you when your in full armor with full health and your at least 5m away. They seem to mess with all the things that dont need to be fixed, and dont even give a second look to the major issues. RETURN THE GRENADES TO WHAT THEY USED TO BE!!

In short, yes, you are the only one. Frag's are a main weapon in crash site, and 5m does not seem unreasonable to me

its very unreasonable when you have full health and your in armor mode, correct me if im wrong, isn't the point of armor to protect you from explosions?

I think the damage is okay because when I throw a grenade at guys who have armor mode on they survive to 80%. Also you got only one of them per life.

For one, when you nerf something you make it weaker, hint the name nerf. now in the grenades case they turned those bastards into ICBM's. I totally agree they're over powered. to many times i watch a kill cam and the dam thing is a mile away but i die.

Too many times I've seen myself nowhere near a grenade and it'll kill me. Even when I'm more then 10m away from it and it doesn't even show up on my HUD. They shouldn't be made weaker they need the blast radius to be slightly smaller.

lol sry, nerf was the first word that popped in my head..but im glad you guys agree, i cant even begin to tell you how many kill streaks i've had ended because of **** grenade deaths..and its impossible to even play crash site anymore because its a straight up grenade and L-tag fest

i seem to survive alot of grenades in crash site..i always move away from the grenades..and still survive..there is usually the odd time i'll die..no need to nerf the grenades.. i think ppl just need to learn to move/avoid the grenades but of course thats hard when some one is shooting at you..also i think the shield is more for deflecting bullet damage..
but thats the fun part of the game..can you manage your energy bar??

most of the grenades thrown are from half a board away and they blow up as soon as they hit the ground so u have little/no time to get away, and even if i manage to survive the explosion another one lands next to me and finishes me off..and the armor is meant to save u from explosions, it says so in the tips on the bottom of the loading screens..and thats exactly wut the armor did until crytek upped the damage on the grenades..and im as efficient as i can be with my energy..thanx for ur feedback

If they're killing you from 10m that's pretty strange I admit. I've won the medal many times for surviving thr mosy frag explosions, so they don't need to be deadly - so they are survivable. And I wouldn't expect to survive like 2 or 4 frag's that would be unreasonable.

The answer really must be to manage your energy properly

BTW, I really don't get the L-tag. It's annoying when someone in your game has one 'cos all you hear is explosions, and they rarely get a kill. I think I've died about 3 times (TIA) from L-tags so they're a total waste of time there.

i dunno, maybe its just a US server thing, because the 2 guys that totally agreed with me are both from the US..all i kno is that i've been killed way too many times (since the grenades have been tweeked) by grenades that should of just inflicted little to moderate damage on me

I suppose it could be a PAL thing, but since there are more English speaking US players than Euro & Asian put together, it may be that you really are just not looking after yourself properly

I survive from grenades while in armor mode that are less than 5m away and my health isnt even full and i dont even use any type of enhance that would help me survive lol. BTW Oh i like the thing dead eye said about L-TAG.

I always die from grenades but I don't think there OP ( even when I get killed when it lands round the corner)

You can always change armour modules to the detination delay 1
