Idiots... you only use grenades when you go FISHING.

This is surprising to me because, in every first person shooter I've ever played, grenades are useless.

Most of the time you throw them, they go too far, or not far enough, or they bounce off some piece of the wall near you and land right on top of you.

If they do land near your enemies, the enemies yell "Grenade!" and all run away, thereby escaping injury.

Apparently computer games aren't an accurate reflection of real life. Or maybe I should have been playing Zoo Commando.

Dynamite Monkey makes me laugh every time I see it.

Nah, that's Southern Sri Lanka.

Ashnar: Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball

ROFL. Nice ref.

Uncle Wiggly: Would've thought a Tamil Tiger.

The wall wasn't high enough.

Dynamite (Tamil) Tiger?

Someone post a pic of a grenadier owning a building in AoE III stat!

Failmitter fails because the article mentions an attack, tigers, and a zoo yet they seem incapable to make some sort of connection and instead revert to what appears to be some sort of a British inside joke as a headline.

Would someone please make a grenadier lemur? k thx bye

Yay Dynamite Monkey!
You guys are on the ball, today.

2chris2: This is surprising to me because, in every first person shooter I've ever played, grenades are useless.

When I first started playing first person shooters, I was pretty terrible and I got a huge number of kills in Halo by accidentally throwing a grenade at my feet while button mashing and taking out the guys who were standing next to me shooting me. It was so bad that my friends were terrified of my "suicide grenades" when they were playing on the other team. Eventually I got better and started killing people with bullets and without killing myself in the process.

Again, a reflection that grenades are useless in FPS games - the only way to make them worthwhile is to make them stick to players, effectively making them contact-explosives. Which is not a grenade.

Imho, the problem was Quake 2. In quake 2, the handgrenades were on the same powerlevel as the light-shotgun. They were harmless and pretty much intended for use in the single-player mode to hit moronic baddies around th ecorner. They were never intended to be major deathmatch weapons. And every FPS copies Q2's weak-assed anti-moron grenades.

I want a game where the grenades kill every single farker in the room.

Not much of a laughing matter.

Don't taunt the tiger.

I hear it's like that in America's Army. Combined with the general nature of a game like that (i.e. mostly linear levels, an enemy that can generally predict how long it'll take you to get from spawn to the main choke point) it means that the odds are good that you'll be taken out with a spammed grenade, without you having seen the enemy or them having seen you.

This is probably why grenades aren't done realistically more often.

I love fark...

/me I was there for Dynamite Monkey

Please do not taunt the totalfarkers
