Topic: Number of grenades?

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.

Re: Number of grenades?

Because of my NDA, I can't give you specific information, but I can say that the grenades will far surpass BF: 2142 in both quality and.... other forms of comparison heh. But if you're grenade happy, rest assured that you will be VERY happy in both their original capabilities un-seen before and of course their beautiful looks. Is that breaking my NDA?

Re: Number of grenades?

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.

Re: Number of grenades?

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??

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)

Re: Number of grenades?

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.

Re: Number of grenades?

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