Making smokes more effective

bernard · 09-07-2005

I've played Counterstrike a while back and what sticked to me was the way smokes work there. You can't see teammate names while in smoke our when they are behind it. This is so much better than in socom you'll see people teamkill because they don't see names and start shooting blindly. socom should have the same effects.

Well then socom would have to apply this to everything since you can see the name of a person on your team and they can be halfway across the map

i like bernard's idea, i think it should be a lot of smoke and really hide the person completly while they are in it, and your crosshairs shouldnt turn red if you point at somone in smoke,

then it would really be usegull instead of the crap thats in s2

I use smoke on demo maps. When I plant the bomb, I pop smoke and sit in it with my crosshairs over the bomb facing the most likey route they will take to defuse. The only times I'm tk'd like this is because someone hits me with a random bullet defending the plant. It doesn't happen very often, the same thing would happen without the smoke.

that is the only real reason smokes have been in the first two games online is for demo maps to cover the bomb plant area because if you throw it in a random spot are you telling me i am not going to shoot blindly into that smoke or throw a m67 because there is a smoke grenade in the grass?? in s3 i see people almost using the smokes as beacons to call out locations also other then just in demo due to map size. they have smokes for extraction maps to call the copter i think in s3

ive always just used them either to get around a corner, through a door, down a narrow path, in a bomb building to save a second, or as a disraction. throw a few smokes right, nade bhind it, go left before it runs out. tada, instandt distraction.

i like throwing smokes on my camping teammates because then everyone knows where he is

No you throw them behind snipers on your team lol. They will never know its there, and it will take away there position lol.

sometimes i'll drop em by a breach so i can plant the C-4 and not get sniped to easy
but if you stand in the middle they shoot there anyway so u gotta stand on the edge

they should make flashbangs stronger or last longer too.
