They never seem to go where you want them to no matter how close you are! I can't tell you how many times i'm right next to a window and toss a grenades and somehow it hits off the window frame. I'v also been tk'ed a couple of times because people miss and than it blows your leg off. Is there anyway to fix grenades tossing at atleast close range? Or any advice on how to get one in there, the toss path seems very lopped..

Spot on. I have had this happen to me many times. It's like your not even throwing the grenade straight. Obviously gravity should cause the grenade to curve, but my soldier should be throwing it straight.

The grenades in this game are terrible. They fly wherever they feel like going, they sound extremely quiet, and they do less damage than RO1.

Never had trouble throwing grenades in windows. There is also a toss function. Alt Fire key without pressing Left Click.

The grenades in RO1 suffer a similar issue when you get close enough to a window, were you're sure that you're gonna throw it in/out but it hits the frame and you end up blowing yourself up.

I think they are hilarious in realism relaxed games cause instead of getting TKed your character gets bounced into the air by the pure force of the explosion. Luckily, you are unharmed. Soo much realism.

I like the frags and that people can't throw them exactly where they want.

I'm pretty good at it though. On apartments I could toss frags into the top windows around the first objectives and get a lot of kills that way.

I agree that the throwing is a bit clunky, but I think that's for balancing. Though I think the range could have been a bit longer.

They're also way too quiet.

I've done this loads already!

If you ever see a building filled with smoke, it's because I tried to throw a smoke grenade out of a window and failed. :D

I will add that it would be nice to blind throw a grenade/ smoke from cover. I've lost count of the amount of times I've had to fight with the cover mechanic just to pull myself away from a wall, so that I can set myself up for a grenade toss.

Would be much easier if I could stay in cover and just pop a smoke that way. Plus you can blind fire SMG's so it's not like it's distrupting the realistic gameplay.

I managed to blow one of my team mates legs off with a malfunctioning gernade earlier today, but luckily I escaped unharmed. :D

Whats not realistic about holding a rapid fire weapon around a corner to shoot people? IRL i would be more happy to do that then poke my head out or step out and shoot them, especially if they are armed with PPSH's or MP40's.

Range is much further than RO1 I think. That's the first thing I noticed is how far you could wing them.

Range in RO2 is a pathetic compared to RO1, which I played for several hours today to see how things changed. The allied-grenade throw distance in RO2 is atrocious.

What? I think its terribly easy to throw them since theres the left hand showing the flight path of the grenade.

idiots, the grenade goes where the middle finger on other hand points... I NEVER HAD ANY TROUBLE with grenades.

You guys are just terrible.

Besides in RL i highly doubt u can throw nade 50 yards and get it into a window.
