Blast Radius

[NeoTassadar]

What's the blast radius for a grenade (frag and plasma)? I hope it's not like you hit an ammo dump every time you chuck one *cough*Wind Talkers*cough*. And what about Boomers, Mines, Rockets, tank shells, etc. A lot for one post, I know, and yes, I know it's still being tweaked. But a ball-park figure would be nice.

who hell knows

these are the kind of question that will be answered by game play

Well some have played it (haven't you read any hands-on impressions yet?) so someone's gotta know.

What we do know is that rockets and tank-guns will have a reletively small blast radius because they are maid for takeing out armor, not infantry.

I would guess somewhere in the neighborhood of a 10ft radius (20ft diameter). A frag grenade with a smaller radius than that makes no sense, it's supposed to spray the area with metal death. And any bigger than that would just make it ridiculous. I could throw one grenade and kill a whole squad. I personally am gonna be throwing frag grenades like candy.

Plasma nades all the way here. There's nothing quite like the fealing you get from watching your flameing enemies runing around yelling for a medic.

Plus they are suposed to be good against armor.

I dont know either hehe, will have to wait and see

...I guess that ends it. Hamma's word is Beyond contradiction.

I'm pretty sure they've mentioned the blast radius on certain rockets and the TR grenades from the MAX is little because of "realism" issues but also balancing. It is meant for AT. Don't know about grenades though. They'll probably have a medium blast. BTW..This is all speculation but I wouldn't be surprised if that was it.

They said grenades worked with rays. I wouldnt count on being able to kill ten people, maybe three, as those three block the rays for everyone else. This was done so people could "fall on the nade" to save their squad.
