Frag grenade question!

[filipeg165]

I couldn't find this anywhere else in the forums, so here's the question: I saw in the new video with the interviews and such at gamespot of CS:S, and I saw that when one frag grenade (old HE) exploded near a dead body, it would just fly away with the blast of the grenade, I was thinking, will this also happen with players that are alive? If you throw a grenade under someone walking by, will they be thrown away or they just get damage like CS now? Cuz I know physics is everywhere, also, will the grenade kill in one hit? Cuz really, if it has the power to throw you flying out of the place you should die instantly or something...

 

[bliink]

you can always mod it in with metamod etc

 

[filipeg165]

i just want to know if it will be possible to do that without any modding

 

[Crusader]

I doubt it, it would annoy the hardened CS fanatics.

 

[bliink]

we'll have to wait and see... unless you can dig up a video that has it.. there are quite a few floating around

 

[fuzzy_aus]

I'm guessing it will act the same as in normal CS. Just when u die you ragdoll/it looks better.

They aren't really altering gameplay much.

hey bliink, that anything related to the ISP iinet?

 

[bliink]

related, yes, but not too closely.. there was an ad for it lying around when i had to choose my username

Yes of course it will fly away, it just depends on where you throw the grende and how far it explodes from the body, if the blast was far away obviously the body wont fly far, if its right under neath the left leg of the body it will fly away.

I think I read somewhere in an official VALVe article that it would pushback players if they weren't killed outright by the blast.anyway we'll see pretty soon with the beta.

 

[fuzzy_aus]

only some of us will.....sniff

 

[Headcrab Cakes]

lol... i feel your pain man
although i might have a chance to play beta through a friend who has cs:cz and doesn't play on steam!
so i guess im better than you

i think that would be a cool idea if the nades knocked you back

Watch the old HL2 bink videos from last year. If you watch the street fight video. You can see that when one of the combine soilders gets hit with an HE nade, he flies into the air and lands on a wrecked car close to Freeman.

I wouldn't see why this wouldn't be in CS:S seeing how Hl2 and CS:S use the exact same... well... everything...

Its definatly not goin to be a one hit kill with the grenade, there are to many maps where one side can rush hard with nades and would be able to wipe out the whole team.

 

[PseudoKnight]

But they have increased the damage and radius of the grenade like in CZ in compensation for the blast not going through walls anymore. I imagine there will be less instances of people being close enough to a grenade blast to be airborne where they don't die.

 

[disruptioN_]

Getting thrown back from grenades would be cool for like 2 days and then it would get annoying.

 

[Cole]

Then cs:s would be like a Nade Fest.
They would just through a nade and u fly into the air they take out a pistol and shoot you.

 

[ummno]

whoops didn't read it properly

I assume it will be one hit kill. That is, if it's the same as CZ, where grenade damage through walls has been removed, but for compensation the damage and damage radius has been increased by 50%. And a 1.6 grenade will bring your hp down to 15-20 on a direct hit, so the CS:S one will kill you.

 

[chriso20]

If for example it blew up right underneath you and you didnt die but got the whole force, it'd look weird to be blown in the air cuz you have to stay upright, if you died it look ok cuz of ragdoll.

so i hope its 1hitkill when near, i wouldn't like to not be blown back by a nade.

I'm quite sure it will. If you noticed in the movie GameSpot showed, he gets a nade kill in upper right hand corner. I could see it, and the body came flying out at de_dust. So yes, I'm mighty sure it will.

Grenades shouldn't be throwing people through the air anyways, they are not freaking C4. Although I can understand in HL2 cause it is Sci-Fi and for all I know the grenades could be alot higher tech than todays. But todays grenades will NOT throw somebody around like a ragdoll. They will however shred you up if your near them (that damn shrapnel!)

They don't ?

I hope you realize that a grenade DO HAVE explosions. The reason the shrapnel comes, is because of a blast. If I remember correctly, the thread starter said "If you stand on top of a grenade will you ragdoll away, dead?"

Well, when you explode, the explode can kill you, and shoot you far away. Think about it.

 

[Cole]

You should only fly up into the air and stuff when you die.
When your alive its cheap.

I hope YOU realize the explosion from a grenade is not some magnificant explosion that will throw bodies through the air like dolls. Yes they would knock you down or probably blow you back, but they are NOT going to throw you through the air like potrayed in most video games and movies. If you want to see what a grenade would really do, play Raven Shield, cause that is probably the best representation of grenades in any video game to date.

 

[PseudoKnight]

Now, the grenade in CS is an HE grenade. Would this have enough explosive 'oomph' to throw a person. Or are we talking about the same type of grenade?

It Would Be Cool If That Happened w/o any modding
