I just wanted to see how others felt.

Smoke nades bring a whole new aspect of the game. You can smoke out machine gun nests, smoke out snipers, and then sneak by and poon them from behind. I love smoke and I hate servers without it since all they have to do is hang back and pick you off since sniping is too damn easy. That's my opinion. Some people abuse it yes, but thats something you have to get around. One way to compensate is just throw nades inside of the cloud since that is where they're usually hiding.

I think the nades are ok. It really helps to take a mounted mg out of the action. It can be frutstrating when everyone throws every smoke nade they have all at once and parts of the map are just completely socked in, but it only is really annoying when they smoke up the spawn, and you are in some room just running around smacking into walls trying to get out.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings any if we reduced the number of nades by taking them away from some more gun types (the shotgun guys don't get one now), but I certainly would not eliminate them.

It would be ok if people didn't throw them like crazy. I thought it was strange when people would join the server and ask why everyone was smoke-happy there. It seems that it doesn't go on in other servers. I've been to a few myself, and there are very few smokes thrown. I come back to ALL OUT WAR and I spawn in smoke. People are developing bad habits of spawning and throwing smoke down.

make people earn smoke nades..uh some how

I believe the reason for more smoke nades on our server may be the fact that we have such good players and fewer campers than most. Spawn points are being over run more on uZa servers so when that happens people spawning pop a smoke nade to have a fighting chance of getting out, at least that's how I see it.

I like smoke nades as they can help but the smoke is much thicker in COD2 and hangs around alot longer than in UO so IMHO the way to tackle this is 1) reduce the amount of smoke nades, which we seem to have already done and 2) is it possible to reduce the amount of "hang time" a smoke nade has?

Also why it is that you pick up every nade you come across?

Smoke nades can indeed be annoying as hell, but it's a requirement really, otherwise all the snipers/MG fools would have afield day against people like me who like to get up close and personal.

I don't think I have been on once and someone hasn't complained or made a joke about the smoke. It needs to be limited to a few weapons at most.

The problem is you can run ten feet and fill up on smoke laying on the ground. Those things are laying everywhere now.

I only use them if I get pinned down somewhere or to smoke a spawn point then chunk in a nade to blast the people running around smacking into walls (sorry Eagle Rolling Eyes

).
