a good idea is too be able to throw the grenades back that are about to blow you up. you cold also kick them. another cool thing would be the ability to "roll" grenades along the ground. one final suggestion(i know its a weapon sugg.) but they should have impact grenades (explode on impact) and laser tripmines

Production impact grenades were never invented. Same goes for laser tripmines.(Don't go yapping about something you cooked up in your back yard or molotov cocktails, those don't count^_^)

The throw-back thing was mentioned some times before - it just would be quite hard to do so, and the probability of the grenade exploding in your hand would be too high.

Actually ShakKen, I hate to shoot you down on this one but there ARE impact-triggered grenades, and believe it or not one of them is US military standard.

The M69 fragmentation grenade is a direct relative of the M67 we're modelling, but it incorporates an impact fuse as its primary firing mechanism. I neglected to photocopy the page from Jane's Infantry Weapons, but I do recall that upon throwing, a fuse is also ignited that burns for 7 seconds. If the grenade doesn't explode from impact, the fuse will set it off.

I'll see about finding some more info and pics on this one. I mentioned it to Warren and he liked the idea, especially if we don't have to change the M67 a whole lot to look like an M69. But like always, no promises..

And good thing is to make the speed of throwing hand grenade a bit faster. Because NONE in battle field environnemtn throw grenade as slow as in infiltration 2.75. WHen you see someone go into a cave and want to send quickly a bombing gift , the speed is important !
