Topic: Grenades

Not sure if this has been discussed before, but I am having issues seeing my grenades after I throw them.

I can see them in my hand, but after the toss I have no idea where it is much of the time until it lands. Also, there does not appear to be a cross-hair for the grenade as there is in 2142, and it makes aiming tricky.

I do have view distance set to 100% btw.

Maybe its just my setup, but throwing nades just feels jerky and slightly awkward in FS where it felt quite smooth in 2142.

Anyone else notice this?

Thanks

Re: Grenades

As a PR veteran who doesn't feel a need for crosshairs and as such has disabled them entirely (without missing them for a second), I can't agree with your crosshairs thing. As for grenade-throwing causing lag, if that's what you mean, it's never happened to me.

Re: Grenades

Is that all grenades or the Support "grenade"? The support grenade is the equivalent of C4/RDX and it is not really throwable that far.

As for the other grenades you should be able to see them flying.

Re: Grenades

My only problem is I keep forgetting grenades can't be thrown through shields like they could in GC.

'Grenade awa--'
[grenade bounces off shield, hits teammate in head, falls to ground, keeps ticking off seconds]
'Oh sh--, run!'
[turns to run, trips over R2]
[Boom!]

But, er, yes, grenades are fine as they are.
