Brink has epic weapons but there is still a grenade launcher. Just wanting to know if its gonna be the new noob tubing game. BTW how do u do those smileys i only know how to do a few...

I think not, Splashylad

The grenades does less damage, but can knock people down, not kill them instantly - But yeah, be prepared for grenade knockdowns, but you can get back up unless you health is so low a sneeze could blow your brains out

hehe knock out eh? a new era for tea bagging hehehe...

Then watch out for:

Universal ability:
Downed fire - Shoot with your offhand weapon while down

Operative ability:
Cortext bomb - Detonate yourself for the Ark, killing your opponent in the blast if he tries to finish you off

:)

Given that Splash seem to have turned grenades into a more CC style weapon than the instant death spam-apples they could be in their previous titles, I'd agree with Schwarzel and assume that Grenade launchers have probably undergone a similar treatment due to potential spammage.

Shame, throwing cooked grenades that exploded in people faces for insta gibs and the different ticks needed for different trajectories was one of the things I really loved to do, but can definitely understand and agree with the design decision given the spam / annoyance factor of being on the receiving end of instant death.

Recent interview, Richard ham says that launchers are NOT ohk, and are mainly for crowd control, as others have said

Let's try checking there are no similar topics to post in before making new ones. I realise that everyone is enthusiastic about the game but it does save us poor moderators from being overworked - and we don't want that, do we?
