Whenever i can, i pull the pin, eject the delay trigger, and wait. 5-6 seconds later boom, this is the art of cooking your grenade. For precesion throws to an enemy it is a priceless skill to master. However, it is a hazard to yourself and other players on your team. I'll give ya a great example. I was playing on the Dust2 server as a militant class on the INS team, i went down mid along the right wall and threw a nade up onto the Marine balcony. I didn't get any kills so i moved on into the tunnel, well i just saw the little trap wooden door above me get shot out, i pulled the pin and released the delay trigger and waited for a bit and was about to throw the nade when a Marine jumped down and started shooting, without thinking i ran away into the crossfire of friendly soldiers that were following me with the nade in my hand, and a split second later i heard BOOM!! Even though they managed to kill the Marine behind me i had teamkilled myself and two other team players...ya i know.:facewall:

So when you are cooking a grenade and a heated situation comes up,

THROW IT AWAY FIRST, THEN RUN!!!​

So be careful, happy hunting!

There is nothing that can beat the glee of tossing a good nade through a doorway and killing a few enemies. The anticipation before it goes off, and then BOOM, and then the kill notices pop up.
 
and see, this whole time I was trying to deep fat fry mine. THey would always go boom before they were done.
 
The worst is when you are have that nade in hand, and then your teammate kills you. He gets one TK, a few seconds later, POOF, you just TK'ed 5 people. I always scream like a banshee when stuff like that happens.

Has happened to me. :facewall: Although I find it really funny when the person who TK'ed you stands on top of your body and starts typing "sorry" and then they explode. That's priceless.
 
oh man funny stuff in this thread. seems like the whole lot of ya are teamkillers :P
 
Well part of the process of learning to play insurgency is killing team mates. You have to realize that everytime you fire an rpg or throw a grenade. Its on the back of your mind is a team mate in front of me?
 
I haven't mastered cooking off a grenade yet. Can't seem to find which button does it. What else does the button for cookoff do? I've got my controls set up a bit differently, so I can't just ask "Which button to cook off?"

I need to know what else the button does when NOT working with the nade. Is it the selector switch? Or the bipod depooy button, or the zoom on the scope?

2X
 
It's the iron sight button. On a side note, why'd you mess with the defaults? The only thing I have changed is voice and deploy bipod. I moved voice to V like I'm used to in TF2 and then when I got vent I had it put on middle click and moved bipod to C.
 
Here is what I use to time cooked nades... say in a normal speed "I killed a family of six" and then toss the nade. Another method I use is counting to three because the nade is on a five second timer. *click* 1 dot 2 dot 3 dot *throw*

Works the best, unless a teammate jumps in front of you...
 
Come on, no one has done the suicide bomber rush? You cook a grenade for a couple seconds then run in a room full of marines. I do it a lot in sinjar, in that left house of Alpha point. As long as I get me my 61 virgins ... or goats, i don't care.
 
..oh..oh..oh... Boom goes the dynamite.

Lol I have been killed about to throw the nade pin pulled and I just get dropped... then as the enemy contemplates whether or not to take my gun or not BOoOMm! hehehe... I've also had that happen from a sniper and the short end of the stick was a few of my teammates... BUT ITS NOT MY FAULT Thheey shouldn't have been grouped up so close next to me!! :laugh:
 
*Chuckles*

I've never even thought of it! And I've lamented that we didn't have a suicide option! I will definitely use this.

As for virgins... I believe it's 99 and think what they must have done wrong to get stuck with the likes of us! :scared:

I'm all for goat.... as long as it's roasted over a spit.... mmmmmm gooaaatt :drool:
 
I do suicide a lot, when there is someone in a confined area that is a capture point and we might lose it... more often in FF OFF of course.
