I heard you made a thread Ty that was so under the NDA it had to be deleted ; ) .

The other reason is that is what we agreed to under the NDA when we became testers

*wink wink* TY2D2.

good point, @talon don't worry, the nades are going to blow your brains out

Because the public cannot know the great schemes that are underway...

Or something like that.

Thanks for the responses, but why is there a blanket on details? I'd understand if there was a competing SW mod for 2142.

I think about 10 grenades per player load out should be great

Oh they are on the game features list lol.

Well there is then alot more stun grenades than actual kill grenades so that'll change the gameplay quite a bit.

not realy i think, cause the nades can be found in the game feature list.

but remember, just because there on that list, doesnt mean the release will ever have them.
nore does it mean that things that arent on the list will never come ingame.

but your pushing the limit? :s ah well
nades rule aslong are there isnt the possiblity to abuse then. (think Crackland the first few min on Inf only)

Y'know, I don't really remember, but wasn't it said somewheres that (stormtroopers at least) were only gonna have one grenade - because that's screen accurate and that's what FS is striving for??

Star Wars grenades are very different than normal grenades, of course there are frag grenades, but in KOTOR for example you had the cryoban which froze everything around it, the glop which creates stickey stuff etc.

So there are other forms of grenades which are not necessarily lethal, SWRC has the flash nade, so if you would mix that up into the same ammo count as BF2's that would provide you with the same experience qua frag nades, but a very different experience with other type of nades imo. You'll have to wait and see what'll happen in FS though, as I can't reveal anything about how we are doing it.

I know this is a minor point, but I'd like to point out that the 2 grenades in 2142 make the game a lot more fun than the 5 in BF2. A lot of the time in BF2 you had people using grenades as their primary weapon, which was exacerbated by the amazingly quick reload times. I think keeping the grenades down to 2 or 3 (perhaps different numbers for different kits?) would make the game more fun.

Here come the disagreements.
