One button throw or inventory select? Can't believe we never talked about this.

[Goku]

Button throw like BF? I am fine with that. No more third person humping so I don't need 2 stacks of plasmas anymore.

Inventory/belt slot.

Required to holster weapon first then you can throw grenade.

No to quick grenade.

Pretty much this. I'm a big fan of holstering delays so if it's equipped in a holster slot it's a choice among many holstering options.

Also cooked grenade only. Pull out (with a regular unholster key or a quick key that you can hold) with say a 4 second fuse. Balances the grenade as an actual weapon rather than an item you just throw to do extra damage.

Instant grenades tend to cause a lot of grenade spam. I rather see selected nades, allows for differend fire modes, like detonate on impact or 3 sec delay or stuff.

I hope they allow for suicide bombing

Grenade spam was awful in BF2. I thought I was safe behind my nice 10 ft high concrete wall to only have a volley of 3 grenades come over and kill me. BC2 or even BF3 for that matter is not bad. Limiting people as others have said to 1 will help that as well unless they specialize. Grenade spam in PS can get pretty bad too due to people carrying as many as they wish and just keep throwing them down the hallway too.

True, but grenades on PS are a whole different thing. They are not the high damage insta kill things that even hurt you a lot if they detonate somewhat away from you. In PS, grenades are almost useless if you dont directly hit a guy with one. I want to keep that, as it makes spam only useful to supress the enemy a bit. Dont want a grenade spam kill machine. :/

Yeah, quick grenade would mean duels were ALWAYS grenade/barrage.

Another question: Explode on impact or timed grenades? or both again?

I personally like timed grenades better. Even moreso if we can time the grenades in our hands, basically allowing explode on impact of timed right. However, I wouldn't be mad if they included both.

As for my original question, I think I like quick throw grenades. They basically do automatically what you would do through an inventory selection. Then again, BC2 balanced their nades out by forcing you to carry only one unless you took a certain specialization. If we could carry more than one grenade with a selection-style setup, that would be optimal. Since there will be a gillion players on the map, I can understand not wanting to have thrown grenades at the simple push of a button.

[Captain B]

I say both. Oh, and quick grenades would be cool, though maybe not as fast as some FPSes where it's practically instant with the throw.

Yea

I really prefer that it be switched to though - rather than a last second OSHIT button.

[Bags]

Selected, slow throw, explode on timer.

Or else it will be Grenadeside 2.

[TheRagingGerbil]

Yeah I would like to see grenades on timers only. But we need the ability to cook the grenade. Put some skill in it.
