Smoke or No Smoke

[ToneDef]

I do not equip Smoke Grenades, but when I do pick some up along the way, I will use them to draw fire or as a deterance in tight spots.

Once in a while I hear allot of radio spam when the smokes starts flying about how it is a detriment to the team.

So for the public record, where does 1up stand on Smoke?

I use them to catch hackers.

In 1up productions new map, Domination, Smoke grenades will be very useful in assaulting bunkers. They are spawned in the map along with HE grenades to allow a tactical advantage against those trying to defend a bunker. smoke em out and light em up!

Can I ask how? If it is not top secret information, of course

[Tits_McGee]

I like smoke, adds flavor.

[FedoraMike]

I typically don't carry smoke grenades, I actually don't usually carry any grenades myself, and I typically don't use smoke grens even if I pick them up.

Agreed, they work well to catch the wall hackers that are dumb enough to shoot through it, but you usually need more than just one instance to confirm hax.  Can also help give away an aimbot as well so you know to go to spec if they're tearing people up through smoke.

I don't see much good use for them in TDM or TS personally.  Could be part of some strat, but most of the time just get annoying IMO.  Can function as a distraction though.

In Bomb it can be useful to smoke the bomb area when defusing or if you are wearing tacs while defending but it really has to be part of your team strat to work out.

In CTF they are used to smoke the opposing teams flag area.  This makes it more difficult for them to shoot you as you take the flag, but can make it more difficult to grab and run with if you aren't extremely familiar with the map.

And when bots are on the server, don't use smoke.  There is nothing I hate more than people throwing smoke just so the bots can pick you off through it; they're annoying enough with their full body armor and AKs, don't need to give them another advantage

In my opinion if you have the tac goggles on i believe u can see through the smoke so it would be good for team ups and diversions other than that it just gets in EVERY1s way, unless your trying to make a wall of smoke no1 will pass so u can cross a populated area


Smoke with tacs = Team ups and tactical takedowns

Smoke without = 2-4 sec diversion

Smoke has really only been useful for CTF or Bomb. It's a useful tactic for TDM if you keep ahead of the other team and smoke a good place to use it and tac goggles. But you really have to be fast about it.

I'm with FedoraMike. I never equip grenades, smoke or otherwise,  but for a different reason. I usually end up blowing myself or teammates to hell with them. So no nades for me.

LOL. haha at least you're honest

Despise smokes.  If used properly they are damn useful for CTF, and sometimes in BOMB.  I've even seen people use them effectively in TS (to provide cover in a tight spot and allow a sneaky getaway).  But for the most part, its just a nooby strategy used by tac goggle wearers. NOT TO MENTION IT KILLS MY FPS!

So, lay off the smoke please, unless you are catching cheaters.

The number one reason I hate smokes is because of noobs. I have been smoked by my own team in my own base once. And plus being a sniper smokes are the worst.

I do what you do Tone, but very seldom do they leave my hands.~

[Adtapa]

I only equip smoke nades during CTF.  I'm also not into equiping grenade at all in general,
 as the throw time is too slow.
