They are still being spammed. I was just in a game where enemy team was throwing so many WP nades it was insane. I admit, i have spammed them myself, from time to time, but they seriously need to be regulated.
All i heard entire game was the “poof” “poof” “poof” “poof”
they are weak now and the opportunity cost to using them over ammo pouches or other grenades is so high, that if you flank the enemy whenever he spams WP at you, youll have much higher firepower then the WP spammers.
i cant remember a single situation i ever played with WP involved where i didnt think that “noob strategy, easy to defeat”, not even when people spammed dozens of them per objective. people really are too lazy to think strategically in a WAR GAME and only care about bumrushing the objective in a straight line and instantly complain “oh no there is a barb wire in front of me…nerf!”
I complain only when I am rushing from spawn to save objective, yet exactly this situation happens… just because my great teammate was “over productive”.
That’s nonsense. Because such player will fortify objective in every direction. I doubt he would fortify only direction of his own team spawn.
Sorry that i wrote spawn instead of rally point.
Btw. Imagine building rally point just because you need counterplay your own team. That’s too much xD Is that really your argument?
It was “nerfed” but it acts more like a buff. Allowing for even shorter fuse timers and shorter duration just means the attacking force can get into that space quicker.
It still hits through walls, still kills extremely quickly, and still slows so you can’t get away from it.
Personally I think a new class of soldier needs to be introduced:Sapper
Has access to Mine sweeper, Bangalore Torpedos, and White Phosphorus Grenades.
While we are on the subject of restricting a certain grenade type, the explosive pack needs to be swapped out for AT grenades and ONLY given to AT soldiers.
