Hey lads,

to get this a bit more concrete as every 5th thread is mentioning the ability to return the hot egg to the sender. Therefore a simple poll thread: Yes or no?

Plz vote!

EDIT: For some reason I couldn't add the poll, sorry.

Couldn't care less, as long as if its implemented its done in a realistic way. In most matches i play in everybody primes their nades anyway.

I want the grenades to be glowing like in the allegedly "Most realistic FPS", OFP2.

Seriously though, nothing wrong with throwing grenades back as long as it doesn't distract the devs from more important things. And the pick-up system has to be improved...

No, IMO.

In real life it is extremely rare. It would be over used in game, so I think it isn't worth putting it in.

I say yes. Also I think that being able to cook grenades isn't realistic yet its in the game already. So why not be able to pick a nade up and throw it its an additional option to running from it the more options the better.

How's it different? Sounds almost like the same argument to me. What soldier is going to stand around and cook a live grenade if it was me I'd want something that's going to kill me in 5 seconds away from me as soon as possible. Even more if the fuse is 3 or 4 seconds long. Same with throwing a live grenade back if you have 2 seconds to lob a grenade over cover or as far as you can get than it should be possible. Realistically if a grenade is 5 meters from you you're not going to run to it to throw it away your going to run the opposite direction and take cover. If you chose to do this in game its your own fault for killing yourself. But if a grenade falls right at your feet you definitely should have the options to lob it away from yourself.

Include it but don't improve the pickup system. That should solve the problem of people doing it all the time.

Yes - but I think you should punt/slap the nade away.
You click "use" and it gets flicked a short lob away like you kicked it clear, in the direction your facing.

You're not picking it up and throwing it back - only Clint Eastwood does that in Where Eagles Dare and you guys just aren't that awesome...

What would be good (and easy to implement) is being able to lie on a newly delivered nade and limit the damage it does - maybe saving your comrades lives who would normally be cleaned up.

Again - this all needs to done with an element of sensibleness...
