Why do Flash grenades never work as well as they are used on me?

Anyone notice this?
It seems that whenever I toss a flash grenade when I know someone is around a corner, I get a hit marker, engage, then get killed almost immediately like they were never flashed to begin with. I then watch the killcam and see that they were barely flashed and could see perfectly fine. But whenever I get flashed it's always at the full amount and I am blinded for 2-5 seconds.
Are flashes racist or something? (totally joking)
One of the most unknown facts in MW3 and MW2 - and this makes no sense at all- but for a larger flash you have to cook the flash bang. -its dumb and unrealistic.
Is that true? Never knew that if it is.
Naw. Just sounded interesting.
You can cook flashbangs? wtf hahaha i didnt no that.
i know what you mean and its not just flashes either stun are the same i throw them around the corner get a hit marker steam round to get the kill and end up dead ![]()
lol yeah your not alone in this that white screens a killer for me also and have started using blast shield more and more to try counter being spammed by them especially on dome.
Yea, blast shield is definitely a must have for those situation. It just sucks for when I don't have blast shield and I just get the full effect every time. Especially with stun grenades too. Even the smallest stun and I can't seem to move at all.
It's called K/D compensation. The higher your K/D, the harder the game is for you, because IW wants this game to be noob friendly.
I'll take that as a compliment.
It's true. I'll watch someone with under a 1 K/D take a hit from my C4 that's an inch away from him with no hitmarkers, and then he'll throw a semtex that kills me from 15 feet away. Sometimes I feel as though I should just play infected and rush the survivors without shooting them to lower my K/D, so I can have a fair shot at this game. I should only play against people with 4+ K/Ds from now on.
Lol so true this.Was solo capping B flag on lockdown shot a few opposistion to get there was 90% capped A first timer was on the otherside of the archway infront of B and killed me with Dead mans hand.I swear the game extended his blast range just to hear me rage. ![]()
I experience this issue all the time, it deeply saddens me that the flashes and stuns take their sweet sweet time with me. They just don't work when I use them, or so it seems. I also suffer from a chronic condtion known as IOFMS (I only flash myself syndrom)
Same with me. Flashes feel like they last a lifetime when you're in the middle of a gunfight. But everytime I flash someone and run in, they're fine. As if nothing happened.
And I've used Blast Shield Pro... it doesn't work. I still get flashed for up to 3 or 4 seconds. They should've made it like Tac. Mask in BO.
And you what what annoys me so much? When someone tosses a stun grenade at me and it not only stuns me, but also blinds me a little bit. Happens all the time if the stun goes off right next to me.
Use concussions. Problem solved.
I have. Most of the time they're already aimed at the way I'm coming so whether I stun them or not they have the jump on me.

Yea that's why I don't use Stun grenades. If they are already aiming at me, I'm actually making it easier to aim since they are slower from the stun effects. I use flashes because I assumed that since everyone seems to use them so well on me, I would have the same experience.
But Noooooooo! I get half as much effect on them and they get the full effect on me.
EMP Grenade is much worse than a flash/stun since its very weak and you only have one, but yeah anyway, my flashes almost always do nothing to an enemy.
Yup. That is exactly what happens to me. Get the largest hitmarkers and the killcam shows nothing.
yea its total bs. i really dont get it. i can be flashed for 5 second but they only get nipped by it. im gonna try holding it for second (cook it) and see if it works better on the enemy
lmfao proves how flawful this game is - no skill
Yeah, I'm glad I'm not the only one who suffers from this. I am constantly being flashed or stunned in matches that seem to last forever. I just cannot produce the same effect on the enemy for the life of me. Is there a school of flashbang and concussion grenades or something that I need to attend?
I experience this. Did not know to cook them and didnt know that k/d has a part in it. All tactical gernades should efect everyone exactly the same. Makes for more balanced and unbiased gameplay.

Well, the K/D thing I think has got to be a joke. They couldn't possibly do better based off of your K/D. Also, I'm not sure if cooking them helps either. I think it's more just observation.
anyone else ever noticed that they are at their most effective when you accidently flash or stun yourself?
I noticed that, too. I wonder if there's any truth to KD compensation. If it's true then I'll stop using them. I notice that they seem to be very ineffective against my enemies and it has puzzled me for a long time.
If KD Compensation exist then it's one of the biggest BS on this game.
Not sure if this is true for this game, but in previous iterations, killcams were not exactly the most accurate portrayal of what happened. You can't trust what happens in killcam except for the location and loadout of the player that killed you. If you throw a smoke grenade and die shortly after while you were in the smoke, if you look at the killcam the smoke isnt there.

I have made that observation as well. But what I don't get is when I get someone so well with a flash just to see in the kill cam that it didn't work. Why were they so good at ADS'ing and killing me if they couldn't see a damn thing? Or when I get killed by them and in the killcam they just spammed and got the kill. Either way, it confuses me. It's like they have less of a disadvantage than if they just had their backs turned.
