Flashbangs or Smoke Grenades?

Kingdx · 05-17-2006

I personally like grabbing flashbangs when i go into a match now, for awhile i would always grab 4 grenades but i think that the flashes are more deadly if you know how to use them. Plus its always funny to see a guy walking around blind. " I cant F***ing see!" I just wanted to know what the majority of you rolled with, but since i play mostly demos i have flashbangs for terr. base on killing fields, the windmill on harvester and other little *itch asz hiding spots for those ppl who like to camp, plus some1 told me that if a sniper has his sights on you the flashbang will blind him, i dont know that for myself i just heard it but i do know you can zoom in through smoke so i really dont see the point. Plus a flashbang on Fault can be a very funny thing, very funny indeed.

I use them in different situations.

Smoke is for trying to move somewhere without getting shot... like into someones base who is camping, etc.

Flashbangs you can throw blindly around corners and such so that when you run out you have a little advantage over your enemy, they may be slightly blind.

I really can't call one better, but I can say I use smoke more.

Its funny as hell when you blind someone then knock them over with a shotgun, then throw a grenade and kill them.

Lol, I have done that a few times.

I love sniping snipers through smoke, and then they're all like, "Damn glitching noob".

So, I vote for smoke.

I use mostly smoke but now that i think about it, flashbangs sound like the way to go. Thanks for the thread guys

I think they patched where you can see through smoke with scopes, because i cant do it anymore.

I am pretty sure that if it is in your "blinding radius" in any mode(scope,regular,ect..), it will still blind you.

Thats odd...I did it last night.

Seeing through smoke depends on how far away you are from it...

I definetly have to say smoke because it does last longer and affects a bigger area.
