Are flashbangs worthless? (In comparison)

Is it just me or are flashbangs worthless in comparison to other tactical grenades? Their flash effect is so inconsistent that most players hit by its explosion is hardly affected, and when they are affected, it wears off in less than 1-2 seconds. Compared to the concussion grenade which almost completely incapacitate a players aim and movement (and for a longer time) the flash bang seems completely useless.
Agree? Disagree?
Other than recon, I cant think of a good use for flash bangs.
Not worthless throw and wait for the flash then run/strafe-jump take out the targets. I use it on my MP5 class (i usually dominate with it)
I always have trouble, even if I try that, I can rush in at the very millisecond after the explosion (Hit marker) but It still seems to have no effect on the players hit by it. And if I am a millisecond to soon I just end up getting blinded as well.
Thats because they smap their weapons if you still have trouble sometimes its best to sit awhile and wait until they start reloading to go in and wipe them out. Or just do a jump to prone tryhard move on them. I don't know how but everytime I get hit even by my own it goes fully white then red cause I'm so blind I get killed. It also helps to use Recon sometimes they get blinded AND you know where they are.
Flash will hurt you the most- Don't know hwere your going, can't see people, people shooting at you. Not good...
I use concussion grenades since they are faster at throwing,but both are equally annoying.
But you can still see the enemy and aim your gun.
What if they're behind you?
No need to use flashbang then.
When I get stunned even if I aim directly on the person most the time the bullets completely miss and even if I hipfire. So even if they're infront of you you can't hit them. Stuns win :3
I use stuns to check out rooms
Well it's a personnel opinion i hate them and prefer the concussion due to the range and effects but you also have to think about it from someone else's standard's and see why they like it maybe cause of it's quick damage and fast kill factor?
Wherever I go I spam concussion, best tactical nade
I would say this:
Flashbangs for head to head combat
Stuns for enemies that are running away from you :P
which is why Flashbangs work for me. I flash then I bang ![]()
flashbangs worthless?? i don't use it but I ALWAYS get killed cause i was flash! worthless, I think not
Same does things are so annoying, lol
Portable radars win :|
How are flashbangs worthless? I'd like what you're smoking. They're one of the most frustrating and cheap things in this game.
The flash effect last longer than in previous COD games and people spam them like no tomorrow thanks to Quickdraw pro. They have virtually no counter either since Blast Sheild Pro's effect does absolutely jack ****.
They should just get rid of flash bangs/concussions all together. What ever happened to the days of FPS games where you earned your kills instead of mindlessly spamming cheap ass tactical grenades at people to get an easy kill? ![]()

LOLOLOL so true.![]()
i think they are worthless compared to the port radar.
EMP grenade FTW!!!!
sTrophy system FTW!!! xD
I find the concussion ones better than the flash...which I never use. They're similar but the concussion has more of an affect for what it's intended for.
I use the smoke grenades for decoy
50 Cal with a thermal scope is great with a smoke grenade. ![]()
I like concussion when entering rooms and slowing down people ahead my I'm trying to catch up to.
Anybody like EMP's?![]()
I love 'em! No AH-6 or assault drone is safe around me ![]()
To get a decent flash on an enemy I've found that it takes all of your fb's which is a waste of time but i need to admit I'm a huge fan of the trophy system stops the noobtoobers predators stealth bombers lol and who the hell uses the emp grenade it's a good idea if the enemy's are all next to each other. But mostly never... The portable radar is good when ur in a game when no one is invisible but with blind eye and assassin being a few of the most used perks there pointless. And this has to be the first cod out of the rest of them I've seen so many people using the tac insertion...why??? When u respawn your just gonna get a shock when a claymore or a bouncing Betty or c4 or even a sticky grenade blows you up instantaneously..... Overall trophy system wins
EMP grenades are great for taking out assault drones, and tactical insertions only suck if you're dumb and camp right on top of them.
And heli copters and pow lows. ![]()
and osprey gunners 0_o
i prefer flashbangs over concussion grenades, I don't know why, I just do
I will usually run stun grenades as I am slowly working on the stun veteran challenge; but it is probably a lost cause if I ever intend to prestige again.
The nice thing about flash grenades is how it can disorient people and make them inadvertantly step out from cover.
I have found a love for the EMPs don't you just hate it when theres an Osprey and your Stinger goes right through? EMP boooooiiiiiii
I've also started using other Tacs I haven't found much use for tac inserts but I'm loving the portable radar I think I'm gonna use a prestige token on it
smart choice
Portable Radar rocks... no doubt about that. I toss and chase that bad boy with my two stealth classes. I also love droppin it in a high traffic area for my team while I go flanking.
I love playing with team players like you! you make it so much easier to know where enemies are coming from with that portable radar plot
Portable radars make you a team player
.
Guess I am a team player ![]()
I prefer Stun grenades and EMP.
Flashbangs suck, always when I use them I don't see any effect, but when someone uses it to me, I'll be blinded about 3 to 6 seconds which is retarded. Also the fact that it hurts to your eyes when people spam them and that the blast shield pro's resistance is really crappy doesn't give me anything positive to say about them.
I hate that in every god damn shooter, there is flashbang as tactical grenade.
Portable radar, I guess I'm the only one who doesn't like it, I hate how sometimes when I play the whole enemy team is using that thing, then again it rarely bothers me even though I don't use assasin.
