Stand Alone grenade throw

[preparationh 20]

Has anything been said about the grenade throw? I want them to go with the A3 grenade throw hopefully. A2's switch to frag then hold to toss is bad imo. What do you all think?

Hopefully it'll be more like VBS2. Who knows?

What is VBS2's like??

[Maloney (DayZ) 26]

All forms of throwing in this game have often resulted in myself either being blown to bits or swarmed by zeds.

*Throws bottle at hospital window, misses by far, is swarmed by zeds.*

*Attempts to throw grenade out of window, is blown to bits.*

Well the current system is horrible I agree

[HMS 115]

Throw flare to distract Zombies...

Go to shoot a Zombie who saw you... OOPS, STILL ON THE FLARES. Gently and leisurely throw another flare instead of shooting a bullet whilst getting mauled within an inch of your life.

good ole dayz

VBS give you an indicator of roughly where the grenade will land.

As it uses a very similar engine, its perfectly doable in arma/dayz.

I'll see if i can find a youtube. brb

skip to 1:28 for the vbs nade, i seem to remember it being more sophisticated in jcove. This might be an old version

O kinda reminds me of Socom 2, still I prefer A3's system but even that VBS2 versionwould be a massive upgrade imo.

I wish it was like Socom 2. There needs to be some sort of indicator or how hard of a throw it is with a general arc rather than just time.

[TheDesigner 1197]

It should show the beginning, maybe, 4 feet of the grenades arc and die off, that way you get a general feel of where the grenades going, but not magical powers and knowing exactly where it's going. This would reduce the amount of times you throw a grenade through a window near you and miss, but would also not have it so people could make 20 foot through a tiny window grenade throws.

I really like that idea

[p4triot 207]

In CS I can throw my grenade through a window 80x80cm at 100m away with a fail rate less than 20%.

Here I can't properly throw my grenade on a Ural at less than 20m distance.

So for obvious reasons, I rather play with the CS style.

Excellent vid Orlok, I would love to test the father of ArmA.

You can, in a way. depending where you live you may be able to download a version of VBS2 called JCOVE Lite.

Have a google!

I just don't want a clunky system of throwing, I hate having to stop to throw anything.

[preparationh 20]

Yep
