Mid-air Grenade shooting - Possible?

[AcousticToad]

I coundln't find a topic on this so, as the title says, is it possible to shoot a grenade mid air or while its moving towards you, i know you can shoot ones that have been dropped by dead guys (in one case im sure a guy who shot a smoke grenade made it blow up) but is it possible to shoot it out of the air mid-arc and back towards the thrower?

It would be tricky to do and i've not been in a situation where it has been possible to try it yet but it would add a new element of fun to avoiding being blown up.

Anyone managed it yet?

Sorry if this is a repeat topic but the search came up empty.

I dunno, I've never tried it but my instincts say no. Since they didn't wanna change gameplay in cs source.

I dont see how it would affect gameplay really. Not like everyone has the amazing skill to shoot a nade out the air.

I do. I can kill AWPers with the scout, I can kill at 10m with the scout etc.

Give this man a medal

I...dont see how that has anything to do with shooting grenades out of the air though.

No, you can not shoot grenades that are thrown at you - much in the same way that you can't shoot Smoke Grenades to clear them out the way.

MaxiKana - stop bullpooping.

What? You can't shoot smoke nades on the ground? Pssshhha
That's it, I'm not buying this garbage! O.k. fine, I will...

But really, everything, and I mean EVERYTHING should be a physical object. Even if it affects gamepay, it's more realistic.

Oh well... hopefully CS2 will be like the second comming of Christ... not that I'd know, seeing as it hasn't happend... << >>

well, in the hl2 vids, gordon shoots rockets in mid air and they just fall to the ground, thats kool

 

[Thadius Dean]

he also was able to throw grenades back to the combine that threw it at him but im guessing thats not in source

 

[ktimekiller]

e didnt throw it back, he used the manupliator, and i am sure u will be able to hold it and throw it back, in the raven vid, he holds the barrel, and puts it in the right position, and shoots it

Even if it was possible, it would be very very hard todo in source, as once u chuck the grenade, it turns minute... u chuck a grenade and it looks really really small, where as 1.6 they look a decent size...

think the source nade models shud be slightly increased

 

[ktimekiller]

wtf what happened to all the posts?

 

[Pibborando San]

Actually I think the size is fine. In pretty much ALL FPSs things look smaller than you think they should because of the limited perspective of your computer screen. For instance, if I were to build a map in UT2004 of my house, when I play it, it would feel insanely small. That's why maps are usually made larger than they would be in real life, so you don't feel claustraphobic.
My point is, the size of the nades is realistic, it's just that the game world is larger than it probably would be in real life, so nades appear small in comparison. If the 3rd person nades in 1.6 were real they'd probably be over a foot long.

I challenge you to a duel, my scout vs. your scout. Winner takes the pride and whatever yeh. Seriously awp's need to fight the real men, the Scouters of American, and other countries who are of lesser importance.

Mmmm, AWP's pwn, no questions, scout's don't, end of story.

But if I remember early on in the existence of CSS, Valve was playing with the idea of shootable thrown grenades, but ruled it out becuase, "...it changed the original gameplay of CS...", although, if you throw two weapons in the air, they can collide and it looks really cool, just like when you kill a player and then chance a shot that hits their weapon, which then flies out of the falling body.

all awper's suck dick end of.

Hell yeah! AWPs need to stop beeing pussies and use the real gun! When you can use the scout, you can REALLY own with it.

 

[ItchyFish]

No Doubt AWP is a better weapon that an Scout, but Scouts need far more skill to use, as any old newbie can kill a load of people with an AWP, which really sucks horse.
