Re: Smoke grenades
DICE has forsaken us

Playing BF2142 as:
-{SXGr}- J0KerRr
-{SXGr}- x^DeTeR
I'm always open for tips, tutorials and training in the gunship while online, just ask :)
Currently taking a break from MW2, but when I play its as:
eXileD// DeTeR
Even if you don't consider that I only have 7 days played in the gunship I'm one of the best pilots in the game
I will always accept a 1v1, friendly or not

Re: Smoke grenades
Sorry for the double post.
I think we've both gotten lost.
What I was saying, is that if you try to throw smoke up on the ramp of Camp G, and then break left or right-it won't work, for the reasons that:
A) the smoke won't conceal your squad as it isn't big and opaque enough-so some enemy will likely see you, and have the enemy team hunt you down.
B) Once the enemy team sees the smoke, they will know somebody is going left or right, because obviously it is suicidal to go up the middle of the road where everyone can see you.
To me smoke just seems like a big sign saying "Look-an enemy is in the area!". 95% of the time on a TG server the smoke won't help you, as a smart player will just stand back from it, and wait for it die down before either going back into the area or alerting teammates. Its just too dang small and see-through to really conceal yourself in it, or even create a diversion.

Re: Smoke grenades
Do you think DICE will ever release patches for 2142?
He was told that he should not kill, and he did not kill, until he got into the Army. Then he was told to kill, and he killed.

Re: Smoke grenades
Doubtful, they've had many chances to improve it and I don't see why they'd do it now.

Re: Smoke grenades
I don't know if this has been mentioned, but I find Smokes + Squad Leader with Recon/Stealth pretty effective. Say three SM's throw a smoke grenade each, with a different distance each, they can cover an effective area that the SL can run through while cloaked (Minsk/Gibraltar/etc.)
A tactic that may be useful, but nobody seems to use, is SL with Recon and cloak. A one or two SM's with smokes, and one with Radar grenade. The smokers throw their smokes for cover, the Radar dude throws his radar grenade, and the SL cloaks through the smoke for cover, along with knowing where possible enemies may be hiding. Though I've never used it myself, I can't say how effective it is, but it's effective on Titan's while rushing corridors.

Made a little movie about the setting problem with the Smokes:

Re: Smoke grenades
You say you don't notice it being used... A tactic like that is done correctly when nobody notices it being used. I used to always employ such tactics when I used to play, they have a pretty high success rate, especially if you couple the tactic with the ghost unlock so the enemy IDS doesn't see you coming through the smoke.
