I normally use frags but i'm using stickys at the moment just to complete challanges and get the titles.

And you cant do this with a frag...

Leaderboard at the end of that makes an interesting read as well, two players with 40 kills each and only half my score.

Just curious if people have a decided preference on frag vs semtex.  I just find frags so much more versatile because you can bank/skip them into places... and you can also cook them for desired effect (airbursted frags is an artform). I just don't see much of an advantage on sticking semtex to something... other than sticking one to a juggernaut to take him down.  What's your prefernce and why?

Prefer stickies... quicker fuse, you can't blow yourself up by over cooking them, feel more accurate with tosses, and they feel more powerful...

... but they can stick to things you didn't mean for them to get stuck on

For me it's frags.  I've always liked being able to do precision throws into tight areas, or around corners by bouncing them off door frames, or window edges without worrying about them getting stuck on anything. Plus I can accurately time the blast.  Frags have a 5 second timer which you can count by the crosshairs flashing, and time the throws accordingly.

I have been using only symtex as of late... and now that I'm thinking about it I may switch a few classes back to frags. I just like that I can toss a symtex without cooking it and know that it'll blow up faster. I tend to use them to flush people out more than for actual kills. I feel like these maps are so small if I sit and cook one for awhile someone will come up behind me for an easy kill.

Frags are better than semetex.

Good question - frag more versatile. However, why go bankshot when could go KABOOM with C4.
