I honestly think the Semtex does need to be beefed. I noticed a lot of people do me damage before throwing. It's the only way to get a kill without sticking. Then again, a Semtex can stick which gives a good reason why, maybe, it's weaker. Nevertheless I never been a big fan of Semtex but I agree it could be beefed a little.
I do agree with you on that. I feel as though explosives should be just as strong in mw3 as black ops but I also think they should buff the crap out of blast shield to compensate. If explosives became more useful along with blast shield more people would gravitate to it instead of assassin which is a great positive.
Good tip for you though. The c4 was buffed in mw3. It now kills at 5 meters and you can selectively detonate it. It has a much higher use to kill ratio than any other explosive. So I would switch to c4 for now.
I think they're about the same as BO. Let's get some perspective on this and remember how insane all explosives were on MW2. We were all outraged by the hitmarkers we were getting with explosives on BO. My impression is that explosives are just as effective as they were in BO.
OT - If Stalker Pro delayed explosives as well as reset the timer on frags (like Flak Jacket Pro did). I would use that perk a lot more cause I never run it now. Or even better add the Pro perk to Quickdraw and you might see a lot less people running Assassin.
I die enough to random frags as it's. No, they don't need a buff. If they do get one, they should buff Blast shield to flak jacket standard and make getting support streaks actually take some skill to balance easy uav spam & also make uavs disappear once the creator dies. Less need for assassin overall and more for blast shield..
The nades are poop because poop players cried about nade spam in other games. How people would spam the spawn with nades, or spam camp spots with nades, or spam objectives instead of rushing in shooting their gun.
Just one more indication that neither IW nor 3arc should really listen to the community when it comes to how certian things work in this game. The damage the nades do, never should have been reduced from what they were.
Grenades are too weak in this game. The problem with MW2 grenades was that they were too powerful and there were no efficient counters. Blast Shield was garbage in MW2 and it's garbage in MW3 since it practically does nothing.
Edit: Meant to say explosives w/ OMA and Danger Close.
I do think the grenades should get a slight buff but i also think that the blast shield perk should be buffed to compromise for it, hell not that many people even run blast shield anyways so buffing it for those of us who do would be great
I agree, 100% you did say "until" they can equal the connections, i say "if" they do. I use explosives as part of my game, they seem fine when you are on the good side of lag comp, however most games they are useless.
the only reason I would like see nades buffed to give me a reason to use flak jacket.
At the minute it feels like I can stand next to a nade without flak jacket, I'd like if I was almost forced to move more than 2 foot. The give they give nades and semtex the c4 kill radius and increased the c4 kill radius by 1.5m it would give a reason to use flak jacket.
These retarded kids are getting annoying. Explosives are a huge part of war and they have every right to be effective in this game as guns do. This game is extremely boring and a big part of that is a completely lack of working explosives. Retards like you wouldn't be happy until everybody uses 1 gun and the only thing on the screen is a gigantic version of the mini map with a constant uav up with no assassin.
I would say almost all explosives besides the XM25 should have a buff. COD4 had the strongest grenades and they were great; it was only annoying because of 3xFrags and Martyrdom. Noobtubes actually require skill since they require precise aiming which is pretty stupid. They were for cheap kills. Now they're used for the barely used Recon perk, and flush enemies out if they take cover when they take damage.
No, they don't need to be buffed. They are already like mini-nukes. They only time they don't kill someone is when the person has Blast Shield, has a ballistic vest, or is too far away.

Sorry bro. Grenades are extremely powerful. They don't need to be buffed. Just because blast shield and ballistic vests do their job doesn't mean that grenades need to be buffed. You're not supposed to kill someone using ballistic vest or blast shield with a single grenade.
My buddy killed 5 guys with a single grenade at the beginning of a game of core domination. They are perfectly powerful.
In my experience with this game, I don't think grenades have enough punch. My opinion is based on getting hitmarkers but no kills a good lot of the time and when I see a grenade icon, all I really do is kind of shimmy away from it a little, and I'm fine. So either I am incredibly unlucky using them and very lucky when they're used against me, or they need a slight increase in power. Just my take.
