I think it is a pretty nice suggestion, I'm not sure if it would fit the style of the game though.

do we see a lot off smoke that blinds anyone going in, or is it a fast flash and anyone inside it get blinded by x amount of seconds? :p

I don't think that flash grenades is a good idea, maps are way too open for that, but i agree that they shouldn't damage friendly soldiers. i think smoke(which has been suggested and thought out before) is a better idea, because it would probably have more uses on large maps.

Ill try it out. I enjoy minecraft, but have a hard time playing with mods and tp's :P

Gamebooster helps me a lot with minecraft

Yea i recommend you this http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html

Btw, DE... flash bangs have to do a little damage.

@Zeke, you could always download the latest version of your drive. Also, download a hardware accelerator

lol zeke i use the fam laptop same windows and the same spec i think and i dont lag during disco also here is proof that muncher did it

Lol I dont have an upgraded video card driver as others. That's why this should be discussed :P BRAVO.

It might not be your CPU. You have to consider you video card, too. Also, a hardware accelerator may not be present.

No he didnt mucnher also did so DONT USE MY LAST NAME!

Really?! I actually lag a bit during disco :P My cpu cant take things immediately as others :P The more the colors flash the slower my cpu goes. Think of it as running and sopping. After awhile you get tired and just faint :P

Lol Kanye first person to make that post in this thread. BRAVO!

hurr durr cod suggestion

CPU has the least to do with. Take the disco script for example. It changed color really fast. When I do disco on my server, the cpu hardly changes. The disco script and this flash bang concept would require the same thing, fast color changing. Which the same as disco, would hardly lag.

However, since it is a flash bang, the color would take up the whole screen, leaving the player blind for a couple second. If the whole screen was 1 solid color, then CPU and memory usage would increase a little but depends on your computer.

Like I said, it depends.

Lag? lol all it has to do, is when the nade goes off. A white ong screen is layed over your vision, stored server side so you cant change it to a transparent one.

Accompanied by your sounds cutting out, and being replaced with a whinning, like a real Flash Bang.

Yeah. I notice many of the popular people deal with it. People dont want to get kicked every time a flash bang hits them :P No fun at all );

Agreed Zeke

^ I agree. I just want things to be easier for everyone. Not everyone is running the latest cpu you know :P

@Zeke... lag would depend.

@thunderstorm

The OP is only a very basic concept, if it was implmented id hoped they would make the blinding effect longer rnage, and lots of enemies will be blinded, rather then only a few getting injured by a conventional grenade,

so for instance it would be much eaier to lob a flash bang and blind 5 ppl and just pop round the corner and take em down.

Then throwing a normal nade, killing 2 and then they immediately know your there, they can see you, and its you vs the remaining 3.

Maybe you could have more than two?

OHH OHH I KNOW I KNOW!!!

Ok so you know how reg nades destroy abojects well take my example

You throw a frag the bunker is destroyed
Throw a flash and the buker is safe and can be used againt the enemy no need to waste blocks!

When did I say that? I like having variety. I like my slow shooting shotguns. I like my weak underpowered SMG. I like my ridiculously overpowered rifle.

Besides, how will you getting blinded help you make any kills?
You don't seem to understand. Why implement a blinding grenade when a normal grenade can instantly kill your enemies?

Answer THAT.

@thunderstorm

We cant just ONLY add completely necessarily things, ppl like you wanted to keep AoS at beta 0.26. I and many others on this thread, believe it would have a purpose and would be fun, and would be useful.

Thank you very much for your feedback however.

Tru dat

I like this better:

Your team is pinned down by sniper fire from a bunker
You decide to something about
You go with the shottie grenade loadout
You breach the bunker
They explode and I don't waste additional ammo.

And what? You think they will serve an actual purpose despite not testing it in the game in anyway whatsoever? Flashbangs just don't fit with this game.

Because, as I said again, there are no uses for this, it's unrealistic and won't do much to help gameplay.

Besides why tinker with adding more weapons when we still have horribly unbalanced weapons and horrible networking code?

@thunderstorm

I dislike how you say "no point" there are many uses for it.

"Your team is pinned down by sniper fire from a bunker
You decide to something about
You go with the shottie flash loadout
You breach the bunker
As they are stunned you kill them with the shottie" - falcon

^^^ prime example.

By your thinking, your suggesting we shouldn't add anything to the game that isnt ABSOLUTELY necessarly, which is a poor way to devleop the game.

Esspecialy considering we havnt even tested them yet.

^^ Ive survived a nade landing next to me i dont know how but i did many times and you can just build a wall to protect your self

^Reuben understands me. I remember watching youtube vids where people spammed a kid on black ops :P He rages I dont want to be like that kid :P

But there's NO POINT. It just blinds enemies, as I said in my last post, "It blinds you as well as you're enemies, any situation where a flashbang can be used can be better handled by its lethal counterpart, Mr. Grenade."

Why blind your enemies so you can shoot them and waste precious ammo when you can just blow them up?

@reuben

Solution: registration, crack down on grifers, everything in AoS is a griefers tool anyway
