Anyway Marble Man thats my latest use too, planting the bomb. But just be careful because just the other night I planted and threw 3 smokes. Then in the smoke I didn't notice the guy defusing it :(

Haha....smooth as silk. I tend not to use smokes in demo, although i should. I would rather plant clays there and hide.

Personally I find smokes pretty much useless, like for bomb planting, they're decent but it doesn't take genius to find a bomb through smoke and I'd rather plant a mine/claymore. And I'd rather have He's or Frags instead of Smokes. Rarely smokes are useful, it's mostly best when avoiding snipers. Like the bridge on Mixer or extraction zones and such but even then it's not that good.

LOL

I read the original post and saw you say "Since I did a search and found there was no thread about Smoke Nades, I decided to make one."

I thought "Hey didn't he make a thread about this a long time ago?" I then looked at the date and laughed irl.

Extraction: I think this is the best time to use smoke nades, once you get the VIPs into the extraction. I like to take the VIPs and extract, so often I'll grab 6 smokes, and 3 HEs. Once I get to the extraction, you lob those 6 smokes and they should last long enough and provide enough cover to get the VIPs extracted. Meanwhile start lobbing your HEs or frags at wherever you think the terrorists will come from.

Smoke also blocks sniper shots if you can get a smoke into the right spot. For example on Sujo down the right side, so they can't see your team as you pour into the right breach. Obviously this strategy for them can be used in a variety of places. Desert Glory for example, lob them into the hostage room will block the terrorist view of your entire team coming in all at once. They work better than flashbangs in this example, imo. If its 1v1, use a flashbang. If its 4v1, you know how easy it is to lose by sending men in one at a time. So lob a smoke or 2 or 3, and have the entire team run up in there. Shoot the terrorist and don't worry about teamkills. Getting the win is what counts. However I don't know if having 3 smokes is worth losing 3 M67s, so only grab them if you have a guy whose continually camping with the hostages and taking out a bunch of your guys.

One other spot that smokes actually saved my a$$ once was on Foxhunt as Seals.. down near that Waterfall. This probably isn't doable on a regular basis, but I was hiding in the waterfall with one VIP as a teammate kept an eye for approaching Ts. When one started getting close to me, I started dropping smokes in the water, 1 every 20-30 seconds. 6 smokes lasted long enough. The smoke looks EXACTLY like the mist from the waterfall, and unless a T runs right up in there, he won't see you or the VIP. It worked great! But unfortunately this was a stunt I only pulled off once, however, you may be the next ;)

the only thing with the smoke is if your close enough your cross hairs will turn red and you know that the vip or person is there .

Yes, but chances are that if you are close enough you are dead.

Wand3rer · 05-02-2005

But I r teh super stelf SEEL.

"Arf Arf" says the seal.
"Bang bang" says the terrorist.
"+1" says the terrorist's killcount.

Grab a M4A1-M203 with smokes. Shoot them towards rushing terrorists and watch them dive to the ground to try and get away from what they think is an actual grenade. Then, kill them while they are doing all their special maneuvering. Or if you are really bored, try to take out your opponent by hitting them in the head with the smoke canister.

I never use smoke nades unless Im tring to annoy people. But Im sure there are good tactics that people use like the one with thermal not being able to see past it.

Smoke grenades are EXCELLENT. I like to pull out some whenever people are sniping those alleys in crossroads. Chuck one, get right behind it and get a good nade off, and pop back behind the wall. Or, if you're in the alley next to the fishmarket stairs.. chuck one and run up the stairs. Also, if you're one of the last left.. chuck a nade into a random place and go the opposite. Watch the enemy lurke around the area trying to find you.. and just pop out and cap him.
