Made of win and awesome Edit: Spy Gas Nades = face stabs, also MIRVs = best grenade ever (made of win and spam on dustbowl) Engineer - http://www.vimeo.com/1353447 Edit 2: Still no pyro, but likely it would be a napalm nade that makes the floor be on fire, like in TFC Â Sig by Joel

DO NOT WANT
Medic healing 5 people with a nade would get so annoying.

I did not see pyro...
also, <image removed> EDIT: after further consideration, this is only regular win, and not epic win. And will probably unbalance everything all to clusterfucktownburg.

There is a BIG reason Valve left grenades out of TF2.

They replaced them with Crit Rockets, which piss people off even more than grenades do, at least you can LEARN to use grenades. And by learn I mean learn to use them and how to cope, a crit you can't. I see no problem with these if its like 2 per life and they don't have the regular pine-apple nades they had before. EMPs for engineers were the counter to stickies, instead of simply blowing them away it actually would safely detonate them. Â Sig by Joel |

This is all true, but I can still see how this would sap a lot of the fun out of the game. I guess I'd have to try it, but if it does go on the server I think it should be a very limited deal. Just my opinion though.

If you noticed too the spy/scout/engi do zero damage. Due to how far they fly in source I would think these on the whole would be defensive. Make it like 1 or 2 per life, with no resupply and you're golden Soldier - Very limited range, good for temporarily blocking a hallway Engi - Anti-spy/demo the two things they fear the most, seeing as its already easy as fuck to take out a gun Medic - Useful for healing someone you cant reach due to heavy fire, not much else, timing/range on the nade makes it bad for using in heavy combat and it doesnt overheal Heavy/Demo - Spam for SGs and halls Pyro - ?? Likely flaming floors for area denial Sniper - Perhaps some kind of flashbang? something to get away when confronted at close range Spy - good for running away and getting OMGWTF facestabs Scout - Defensive or jumping to reach a higher area  Sig by Joel |

Yea I saw most of them. I have to say the more I see it the less skeptical I get. As long as it doesn't kill the fun and balance.

I'd only like to see nades on as sorta a voting option for goofing around and whatnot. The nice thing about brbu is that it's basically standard TF2 without modded asshattery.
<+Karrde> welp, time to learn some basic patterning skills <@Negate> 12121212121212121212 <@Negate> there is a simple pattern <+Karrde> I changed my mind. Gonna cosplay as a gay demon from hell and get negate raped instead XD <+Caffeine`work> Karrde: Gay demon? Why would you need to cosplay just go as yourself <+FlyingMongoose> Caffeine`work: Karrde would actually have to tone it down some. |

What the fuck? Â Hell fucking no. Â Most of them look worthless, except the totally broken spy grenade, and all of them are fucking ugly as hell.

Agree with you 100% If there's gonna be grenades, remove crits, and make the grenades fucking worth something. Hell, make the grenades crit, and remove random crits from everything else. Then maybe I'll give it a shot. Ripped like paper raped with ease hey scrub nerd pyros suck on these |

Mm. I'm not nostalgic enough about TFC that I would support this. They're very good concepts, and very well-realized, and I suppose for the people that still pine for the original they could also be extremely gratifying. But I also believe that toying with the balance of this game, however cautiously, lies in a realm beyond just "risky", and could potentially ruin the game for a metric fuckton of people: namely, those of us who prefer the game's second iteration.
If you do push it in, I'd say leave it on our test out, on TFT. Put on a stock map (to make things as balanced as possible to start) and then toss in the nades, we'll see how it works out. The mass exodus of players is a good heads-up. My vote, until then, remains a firm no. |

Fuck grenades. There's nothing more fun than getting killed by a random spammer fifty feet away from you.Â
