a confusion grenade?

This might be a little far but how about a grenade that, if it hits you, everyone switches teams in your eyes. though if you want to make it more useful then have it like have some people stay on their team appearence and other switch. basically, it confuses the hell outta the player who got hit. like someone hits you with the confusion grenade and you look around. some enemy's are fighting on your teams side and some of your team are shooting at you. this may be a little too far for coding but... i also have an alternative. when the grenade hits you your aim starts going in random directions. like when someone hits you you stop moving completely and yet your aim is still going around in circles. another effect would be to have everything in your peripheral vision be blurred and only the center of your screen remains normal. like you were seeing the world through a glass cup.

Or it could set your FOV to 500 or so and shake the screen a lot.

It could make bots move erratically and have horrible aim.

i like this idea. maybe it could add to what i said for an alternative.

also another grenade idea would be an ice grenade. it does no damage if it lands nearby but it makes the ground it lands on slippery. when you run into it you keep running until you get to the other side of it. sorta like a speedtube on slow. if it hits you while intact you immediently freeze over. no damage is done though. and of course a flame grenade can melt the ground an ice grenade has been on. same with the freezing effect. MUG also affects ground.

Not bad ideas. To switch the players skins/models its a network replication nightmare to keep them all straight. But the other things could looked at. Nice ideas!

FOV 500 sounds like the best!

the white screen even if the grenade is behind you is propably so that its usefull,becouse a nodmg weapon aint much use in a firefight,but before it?

yea but what if you can freeze proxies lol in mid jump

whadja mean with it?i think they just fall down...if it is possible to freeze them,which i doubt

using the grenade on proxies has them put theyre visors on and continue the brutal suicide task they have been given

you type better on msn surely,maybe you should type there and c&p into here,becouse this is getting disturbing

i doubt you could hit a proxy midair with a grenade EVEN if it created a cone of ice...also i think that there are enuff grenades already?what purpose it would serve?

someone can throw a flame grenade on the ground and melt the ice. that is what can happen. simple. just jump on a hellbender or a scorpion and throw flame grenades ahead. you might take a little damage but that will keep you from running into death or a wall rather.

you can do that but what if you get hit directly you cant unfreeze yourself right? and if you dont want to make it at least make it for me

you can still unfreese yourself with either the mug or the flame grenade. although the flame grenade would effect you as well. you would have to have an organized team bent on using nothing but ice in order to stop someone from melting a frozen road.
