MW2 Frags?

MW2 Frags?

They are almost useless. No the damage and everything is fine, and they work pretty good, but there is not point in using them. Why? The semtex. Seriously. No need to cook, they stick, and the blow up in about a second or two. The only thing a frag can do that it can't is roll and bounce, which usually works against you. Why compensate to make it roll when you could get a semtex to stick where you throw it?

In short: Cheap freakin' grenades. It would have been fine without a sticky grenade. This isn't Halo. Frags were fine as a grenade.

Depends really as if you misjudge a throw the semtex stick to surfaces you dont want such as beams and debris and not go where you want them to. Can lead to some embarrassing suicides if the game lags slightly and messes your aim up or on hardcore you misjudge a window opening. However semtex do have the advantage of not rolling, sticking to surfaces and also larger blast radius.

I normally use throwing knives :blush:

Re: MW2 Frags?

Yeah, but throwing knives take skill to use. But yes, a semtex can lead to some pretty serious backpeddling and possibly death if you mess up. But they still have a huge advantage. mainly not having to cook them.

What I don't understand about your post is that, at first, you praise the semtex. Then, at the end, you say the game would have been fine without it and only frag grenades. What!?!?!?!

Re: MW2 Frags?

I'm basically saying that the semtex, in comparison to frags, is godly. The game would have been fine without them because now nobody uses frags. How often do you see someone with them? Almost never. Everyone uses the semtex. Frags take a bit of skill to be good with. You have to cook them right, know how to let them bounce and roll. A semtex is almost simplified. No roll, bounce, or cook time. Bleh.

Re: MW2 Frags?

Frags have a longer range and you can cook them to determine when they blow up, I prefer frags to semtex.

I Remember when I would roll with Tri-Frag, UAV Jammer, Dead Silence with a silenced MP5. To be honest they defied the laws of AM/PM and put "too much good stuff". I can handle the addition of some new guns, throwing knives, new perks but a freaking grenade that sticks to crap is a bit too annoying for me.

Re: MW2 Frags?

c4 was just godly- GOD LY in CoD4 if you knew how to use it right. i remember some crossmap c4's on shipment...ahh...

and rpgs, god...they could murder in cod4;

so, i never really used frags( well, maybe just a little ). my friends always thought i was weird for using an rpg, but hey, i could crossmap snipe with them and was able to predict their curve so they were all right.

but now, in MW2, rpgs suck cause they curve in every which direction instead of just up. just up i can handle; i can predict it. every direction? no. you just cant predict that.

but now, in MW2, c4 flies about...oh...2 feet before falling straight down. pathetic.

but now, in MW2, frags take 8 seconds to explode; useless if you dont cook them, which takes time, and i cant afford that because i always rush.

but now, in MW2, everything is overpowered so nothing is overpowered at all and it makes my head hurt.

not that im complaining. :ninja:

Re: MW2 Frags?

Overpowered? My SPAS-12 could kill someone farther than 10 feet away with a single shell. Teh underpowerz.

And akimbo sucks. Absolutely stupid. How could they think of something so stupid like that?

And I've always hated semi-automatic sniper rifles. One shot, one kill ffs. Not 3 shots miss, 1 hit kill.

And I have to agree on the C4 now. Like put some sack into it man! Huck that ****!

Recently started using the SPAS and its been toned down since i last tried it out but its a great weapon. Not THAT overpowered at range as it once was but deadly at mid/short range (as a shotgun would be). The Model shotguns (akimbo) was a silly idea though, they are way to accurate and powerful at range than they should be so quite cheap to use.

Some akimbo weapons are really good G18 being one of them and akimbo pistols arent bad. Lots the accuracy is just awful and waste of time using them though.

Sniper rifles should always be one shot kill in games if you hit someone in a kill area (ie not the leg or arm). Otherwise its a waste of time as the first shot gives away position and by time you have lined up a second shot they have sprayed about 70 P90 rounds at you or fired a grenade launcher straight in your face. For balance and people that dont like bolt action rifles (those with bad shots no doubt) they included semi-automatic rifles and so had to tone the damage down as they would be way overpowered if they were 1 shot kills.

I don't know when the last time you played mw2 was Drakan, but the Models have like no range at all now lol.

Played it 2 days ago and id heard they patched them (twice in fact) but hadnt seen anyone using them (probably because of this) and i went Prestige so dont have them any more so couldnt test it. Glad to hear that though as they were just too good to have akimbo.

Re: MW2 Frags?

i gave up on semtex arfter it stuck to lamp post.

Models were over powered but you can glitch thimg back with bling pro

With snipers i got soooooooo many hit markers its pointless

also it's pretty pointless if somebody with a tactical knife lightwheight pro , mara pro and commmander pro can get to the top of the leader board...

Re: MW2 Frags?

I mostly use Throwing knives but when i dont use throwing knifes i mostly use frags but thats because you can cook them in your hand and do a suicide attack on a group of enemys on Domination
