Maksys Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Hello everybody. You may have already noticed this but the smokegrenade's stopping power is really bad . You won't be stunned if you crouch run or if your are covered behind anywall. Seriously you are right where the grenade detonate and nothing happen to you just because you are running or covered . What do you think about this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FYC Punker Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 The smokes are fine the only reason why the stun you still is so that you can throw it at someone with a meatshild or boomshield so they drop it. The game is 100% more playable this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braw1 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 They made this similar to Gears of War 1. No affect for the smokes. I personally like it. I get more kills and less deaths. Cause all that happened before was EVERYONE THROW SMOKES, then go Shotgun the downed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXChiddyXx Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 hey ive had some time off gears so from my understanding smokes is that they only knock down the meat shields and the boom shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make you "Cringe" if you are walking but if you are running or if you are in cover they dont do anything. Also like i stated above if you have a meatshield or boomshiled a smoke that explodes next too you will make you drop your shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansen578 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 i like this better for every game but guardian when tryna protect the leader but it works for both sides so i guess it okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antnie Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I have noticed that my KDR has been better with the new smoke grenades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martdude16 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yeah Ok fair play to EPIC they sorted the smokes out... But why not the f@?!ing frags? The worst thing in any game ever IMO.... and the most overpowered and overused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchannon37 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I think they still need to fix them, if they are supposed the "stun" it shouldn't be conditional of how the player is moving, facing, etc, they should cause you to be stunned, if they are ONLY for people dropping shields, then only have them affect people with shields. Why do you only get stunned if you're standing up? Jesus, I mean they were too powerful before, and now they're just retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huxy87 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 do you get cringe effect if your rolling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIVEBY XD Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Love the new smokes, adds that "tactical" element they were shooting for when the game was released. It's great that you can avoid them, at least now you have a chance to defend yourself when 3 or 4 smokes start popping around you. The game is starting to require more and more skill now, its certainly 100% more playable. I hope they never change it. Now, what to do with the lag?!

The worst thing in any game ever IMO.... and the most overpowered and overused. i find it easiest to dodge the frags, lol. If one is planted you walk through the area, then you jump roll backwards and it doesn't harm you. Now if someone is throwing them at you jump in the opposite direction it is. If it explodes while your rolling you don't die, but after you roll and are standing you will die, lol i tried it with a friend in private.

MAXIBHOY Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 smokes are way better now, and the frags are the least of your worries in MP. i think they should lower the power of the boomshot in MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfEVILmonkey Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I must agree the game is ten times better now with the smoke grenades not dropping you to the ground, even when you are in a different zip code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skate the Alien Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 i hate it now..since the smokes dont stun anymore people just frag the shit out of you... or just spam lancer:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayonetta Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 thank God the smoe grenades don;t knock down players anymore... to me that was the only thing that made Gears suckish, in multiplayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxStuartxX 1990 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 this is way better they were only the way they were I think to try and let shit players get kills but i guess they finally realised why should they get easy kills it makes me laugh when people still try to use smokes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it's WAY more playable, but with the dropping meatshields and boomshields a friend and I threw a smoke at some guy huddled in the corner with a boomshield and he didn't drop it with two smokes at his feet.

Im not 100% sure but i dont think the new smokes drop the boomshields, cuz I was leader in guardian using the boomshield and people tossed Smokes at me and all it did was just make it hard to see! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Karma Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I don't think they do either. I tossed a smoke at the feet of a guy in an Execution match two days ago and he didn't drop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
