So yeah, another random thought of mine: everyones got equipment they never use, but I've still found a tactical use for most of them. I'll list a few to start.
Smoke Grenade--yeah, this one seems useless, but people with low-end computers may lag up if you fire these off...if you're lucky. Also good for buying yourself concealment in intense firefights where you need to find better cover before moving out.
Radar Grenade--This one does suck. One use, and it only lasts a little while. Still, very useful for rushing those titan corridors so you know whats up ahead before charging through.
EMP Grenade--I'm noticing a trend here. Almost every useless item, is a grenade. Or are they? EMP grenades, post 1.25 patch, seem to royally mess up vehicles for several seconds. If you have an ammo crate and good cover, odds are pretty good you can pin down a vehicle indefinitely while waiting for engineer back-up. Teamwork insisted upon. Or, as a last ditch, you can screw up someones HUD when one of these go off in their face, and the light show might cause them to fire blindly--wasting precious ammo.
IPS shield--okay, even I'm gonna admit this one sucks my left nut. Might as well put up a giant sign that says 'I'm camping here, spam grenades at me!' Oh wait, it ALREADY does that.
Stabilizer--useless if you're a good enough sniper, or plan on firing off 300 meter headshots. Then again, at that range, if you shot them from any further away you'd have to mail them the goddamn bullets.
EMP mine--yeah, kinda useless since people will just go around them. Unless you count those kamikaze Buggies...follow up with motion mines and they're going down hard.
Your opinions, suggestions?
