Hi All

I recently unlocked the smoke grenades for the n00b tube and I must say, they have more or less completely replaced any other under barrel attachment for me.

They provide some very thick cover that the IRNV scopes can't even see through and you get 4 or 5 of them to start. More than enough to lay down a wall of smoke to cover a bomb plant on Rush, for example.

Hope to get some kind of discussion going about the smoke grenades, share some tactics, etc.

Anyone else use these bad boys?

I havent got them yet. But they were under utilized in BC2, they're great for covering offensive maneuvers.

Mortar smokes are easier to use.

I use them everytime in metro or any city rush maps.
Ask other 1-2 guys to get smoke nades, cover the place with smoke rush in, arm the mcom and ask the engineers to start firing rpgs through the smoke.

Yeah they are pretty awesome, I haven't used them myself but I've got some friends that do when we team up. Very very very effective

I'd love to see an entire team with smoke nade launchers. Would look pretty epic from the sky.

I'm glad they've used the BC2 smoke model as opposed to the BF2 one. I remember chucking them as assault on BF2 and they were practically useless. If i remember rightly it was a tiny cloud of see through smoke that lasted around 5 seconds....

Assault + n00b tube. You'll eventually unlock the smokes

Great in BC2, when used right, or just covering your "teammates" in smoke :]

I have like MAYBE 20 kills with the tube, probably less I dont use it very often. It's one of, if not the first unlocks you get for it

Those things were deadly, on Arica harbour inthe city I was firing them off into the US spawn, randomly got a headshot through the smoke with one :]

Good to annoy useless snipers camping in your base too.

The smoke grenades are an effective way to break a deadlock on metro conquest over the ticket booth flag (which happens a fair bit).
Get your squad ready and fire the nades about 20-30 feet in front of you and charge through the chokepoints while continuing to rapid-fire the smoke rounds just in front of you to maintain cover.

I never bothered to unlock the underbarrel launcher ('cause it's a friggin' noob tube) but once I got sick of getting blocked out on metro it was a more worthwhile unlock as it has it's use on that map in particular due to the all too common deadlocks on the stairs at the side of the ticket flag.

It's also a handy way of pushing players into the alley flag on bazaar.

Smoke grenades have always been one of the most under-used weapons...so fantastic for breaking up line of sight. Think of their great uses while trying to breach past the ticket counter in Metro.

I used them in the beta for Rush matches on Metro, very effective for advancing or even defending if needed. Enemy plants bomb you smoke and run in and defuse.

They should make it last a few seconds longer but it's still good, I felt like a twat having to noob tube so many poor fools just to unlock it though.

I plan on using them as 1-hit-kill weapons once I get the XIM3 for a M&K.

I often sat afar off and fired smoke grenades to cover my team on Rush. Was awesome.

And above your tomb, the stars will belong to us.
