Do you prefer to use the plasma or frag grenades?

Frag for infantry, plasma for armor. Frag for 1v1 or 1v2, plasma for large groups, plasma for infils, plasma for base rape, plasma for lunch.

Plasma rules! I carry plasma and decimators. If you're facing infantry, plasma is far superior, and if you're facing armor, pull out a deci.

I love watching the enemy run around as my green cloud of death strips their life away. Cloakers are especially fun to torch since all you see is that green cload running away then kill over.

On a side note...

I was playing with the Radiator last night. I went from 0 to 415 grief in a matter of about 2 minutes. The TR were zerging the back hallway of a base I was in. I was the only NC standing their so I filled the hallway all the way out the door with radiation bubbles. The TR poured in, just then two NC maxes and a couple of softies run up the hall and plant themselves in the middle of the Radiation field...

415 Grief and 2 kills. Craptacular.

I use both. I also have a load-out with two Thumpers, one loaded with Frag and the other with Splashma grenades.

I'm a devout plasma afficionado. If you're down to chucking grenades at vehicles, then you're fucked anyway, and plasmas are teh g00d5 against infantry.

Plasma for infantry and MAXs, plasma for indoors.

EMP for base defence. Nothing better than EMPing a Mag or Van and watching them scuttle off because their big guns are useless. Spcecially when I pull out my Deci. :)

I have my thumper completely loaded out with plasma. Yes it's what I affectionatly call 'the grief machine' but only becasue of the amount of n00bs in the game right now. Plasma helps find those annoying cloakers and when firing at longer ranges helps you mark where it lands, I don't believe frag grenades give you a splash.

I use the Thumper with Agile and I have all 3 types of grenades, jammers are the most effective and fun to use though, really mess up an armor coloum.
