Favourite Grenades

[Wadders]

Any game with these. Simple, effective, and downright unpleasant:

Or the Nuka-greneade from Fo3 as someone has already mentioned, just because of this:

I don't like the Megaton preachers OK?!

My favorite would have to be the vortex grenade from Fracture.

My favorite grenades ever were the EMP grenades in TFC with the Engy. Those grenades made the Engy an assault character because they could blow the bejeesus out of anything even through walls.

TFC had a lot of fantastic grenades. The nail grenade, while pretty useless, was fun to use because it definitely shut down a decent area for about 3 seconds because even though you wouldn't die from it the nails freaked you out.

The concussion grenades for the medic/scout were great weapons and great travel devices. I remember conc jumping across entire maps and air strafing all over the place to get to a specific spot. Specifically, conc jumping out of the front door in well all the way up to the sniper deck to take out a particularly annoying sniper.

The demo grenade was the most fun because the main explosion could kill someone then it spread secondary grenades all over the place which did significant damage. Took out SG nests, half of a team running out of spawn, Heavies all in one shot...

Someone who realizes the greatness of the 'nades in TFC. You couldn't call yourself a good player if you didn't know how to effectively use them.

Too bad they took em out in TF2. Probably to balance things out.

Perfect Dark: The neutron bombs! They were like... drugrenades, if you got hit by one of those you got instantly high.

And yes, the proximity pinball from the "normal" grenades was hilarious!

Ok you officially rock for remembering that!

I loved those things, specially when you put the slowmotion on and throw like 5 in a room with all the stupid bots running in circles. Oh those were the days.

Of course I do
I loved the sound they made.

[Obama Osama Llama Diorama]

KOTOR and KOTOR II
not just like frags
but the ones that came later like cryo and plasma
I didn't know or really care what they did
but I would throw them and awesome stuff happened
people froze or caught fire or got glued to the ground
I guess I really liked the variety hahaha

 

[Ace of Spades]

Shock Grenade in inFamous.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

The Conduit. I mean, it's so much fun throwing it like you would actually throw a grenade.

 

[Left4Meds]

Pipebombs from Left 4 Dead, you don't have to throw towards your enemies, they come to it.

Pipe bombs in Left 4 Dead. They're really fun during a horde attack. I love how the zombies forget you exist to go after the blinking light of death.

Beat me to it.

Agreed one time in dead air finalle, there was a huge horde of zombies coming for me ( was the sole survivor) I threw it and I watched them go after the blinking light and then watched them asplode.

You too.

Seconded with Halo, that was actually my first shooter in wich I really, actively used grenades. I also like them in Fallout 3, mostly for putting in people's pockets.

Ahh... There is no satisfaction like putting a grenade in some unsuspecting NPC's pockets...

 

[AkJay]

The Holy Hand Grenade!

 

[mangus]

I loved how the grenades where so USEFULL in halo 1! kill your enemies and shit!

 

[swytchblayd]

The sticky grenades from Armed & Dangerous, hands down ^-^

Stick one on a sheep (yes, a sheep, no bull *ba-dum-chishhh*), and watch them run right into the nearest pack of enemies. Stick one on an enemy, and watch them scream as they run right for their fellow brethren *evil laugh*

A close second is the Groovitron from R&CF: Tools of Destruction... had tons of fun tossing them into a group of enemies - even a few bosses! - and watching them dance while Ratchet peppers them with whatever he's holding at the moment...

 

[mocruz1200]

Concussion Grenades from TFC. toss and boom! flying around like a madman

 

[songnar]

Metal Gear Solid 4 - emotion grenades

 

[SsilverR]

Pipe bombs from Duke Nukem 3D.

close to what i was gonna say but the pipe bombs don't have shit on the Holy Hand Grenade

Thermite. Burn, baby burn.
