on realistic mode, it would be cool if the grenades did not blow up when you throw it against a player/barrier. Instead, it will bounce off a little or something like that, then blow up depending on the time limit, like a real grenade. Yes, its harder, but hey its more challenging.

Actually, I would like to see this in realistic. Grenades on a timer makes sense.

The grenades are already on a timer. It's that they blow up when they just touch a soldat which is what's unrealistic. I mean, I can understand if a soldat steps on a grenade and it detonates, but just conking his head and it exploding from that... :-P

But you wouldn't be able to tell when the timer starts ticking since it doesn't go off if you just tap the Throw Grenade key...

say above your soldat it could display a timer or in the interface like 3.0000 and have it go down --->

no there 3 seconds i think...... make it like a halo 2 grenade, when it hits something it'll explode 2 seconds after or something because of accidental detonation.(i was reading from the manual)

5 second fuse is standard. Although you've got your regular 1-2 second deviations on the fuse.

that sounds like a good idea.
in fact hows about mines? to make up for the fact that grenades no longer explode when you walk on them an alt could be mines. i mean this as a complementary thing to the grenades fuses not a stand alone secondary weap....

Yeah, like the counterstrike methdd. Hold E to pull the pin, then release to throw, so you can "cook" the nade and throw just so that it explodes right when you want it to. A timer shouldn't be included though, to make it more skill-based. Currently, the fuse on the nades is way to short if they are left untouched. Using this method, grenades can still be useful and lethal evemn without a a direct hit.
