I was wondering if the blast damage from grenades will pass through bodys or be blocked by them?
Basically I was wondering if a soldier could jump in front of a grenade and use his body to shield his teamates (like jumping on top of one if you could go prone, which I know you can't).

Heroics like taking a bullet for the team would be a great thing to see. I can picture this would probably work for the frag grenades but I'm not sure what would happen if you tried to block a plasma grenade, since fire would generally envelope you and work it's way around you.

Just a thought

SJ says, yes, you too can get this letter sent from the clone factory....

Correct answer: Yes...avatars block those raycasts that determine splash damage results. So...if you can stand on a grenade, you can block a lot of damage to squadmates in the area.
Long story short...yes...you can be that John-Wayne-style hero if you so desire.

(lol about Got Milk?...just talked to him the other day...odd coincidence)

Which raises the question - "Can you bump/push someone onto a grenade??'

Probably not. I can't think of a multiplayer fps where you can move other players.

Urban Terror (Quake 3 mod) - you can give someone the boot by standing close to them and jumping while moving into them, you do some damage and knock back.

If you you run into players in Battlefield 1942, you can push them around.
