Why does no one ever use them anymore? I never see them and they are all the rage in CS Source still. They provide fantastic cover and on a Titan assault is indeed DEADLY.

Why does no one use them?

Smoke Grenade + Rockets ftw.

I think deep down you know the answer, Defib and rockets are far more useful in most situations and as you mentioned ,titans are on of few i can think of where they are good. The smoke should be thicker as well can see through it to easily.

Grenades and sentry guns don't care if there's smoke in the titan hallways or not.

Exactly,What everyone uses to defend their Titan(APM's,Sentry,Grenade spam,RDX,etc) aren't affected by smoke.

Better to have Rockets and defib.

lol i can easily kill the nub that smokes the way to the console cause my Sentry gun is aiming at him the whole way.

Smoke nades suck imo

BF2 / BF2142 smoke 'nades need to be like PRMM / COD's smoke 'nades. Then I might use them.

because if you use smoke grenades the enemy will know you are there and frag the shit out of you. also smoke will not protect you from the 50 apms or turrents on the titan and you cant fucking see yourself.

who ever invented smoke grenades was a daft twat.

so in the 'fluff' they should include the carbon and metal particals that disrupt radar/sensors. Stopping drones apm's working. Then you would see more use.

It is the future, and we have this now.

edit - correction, i have watched documentries about them trying this stuff out. dont know how/if its used now.

edit edit - in responce to next post

yes, but this was tank based, creating a smoke screen. And was sone kind of carbon disk??
Is that what they use in aircraft chaff? Realy hasy about it.
There was something about the stuff they use in the chaff being not all to healthy to breath in i think

I would use them if I also got thermal goggles, like in R6 Vegas.

Now that would own.

They need to last longer. The smoke is thick enough but it goes away to fast. And plus why would I want smoke grenades if I can use the slot for a defibrilater or Rockets.

smoke grenades are good for one thing
they allow other players a better chance to chuck nades down the corridor at the defenders and therefore remove them (unless the defenders are being clever/annoying and are nade spamming or rocket spamming themselves of course)

In 2142 if you have your effects setting on low you can see straight through the smoke grenade clouds. If EA fixed that in a patch they might be worth using sometimes

Well, I remember reading somewhere that senrty guns weren't supposed to see through smoke. Honestly, whether that was ever true or not, I think it should be like that. Say that the nade throws up chaff or something.. some reason to distract the sentries.

Personally if someone chucks a smoke grenade I usually fill the void with a clip. They either end up dead or severely injured
