which games have the best 'nades?

Cyberpunk has a fun grenade build.

Halo CE

what advantage does the pineapple have over the cylinder
it seems like you could fit more 'nade in a cylinder

>>713593272
pineapple has better shrapnel

Always liked it when grenades were a combo piece.
Sticky Grenades in Halo are fun but also are a "oops too bad now your dead".

Pineapple is a defensive grenade, these have a much stronger explosion than the offensive ones.

Nothin' personal

>>713592931 (OP)
in the arcade Punisher they're a good AoE option
Vanquish is cool with the slow-mo and shoot in mid air
in Max Payne I love the ting-ting-ting sound they make as they bounce

MGSV

Probably the most impactful vidya grenades I know of are from the nu-Xcom games

Being able to delete the enemy's cover and leave them standing in the open like idiots is huge, and dishing out reliable unmissable damage on demand is real nice in such an RNG-heavy game

>>713593272
Like >>713593316 said, the pineapple shreds itself into larger fragments in a largely radial pattern. This is particularly advantageous if you cook the grenade to explode a few feet or a meter above the ground as the shrapnel will be able to cover a larger area as well as the concussive force of the explosion itself to stun or cause disorientation should your primary target not get hit with said shrapnel. Each piece of the grenade is largely uniform and will cause significant damage and can theoretically pierce light bulletproof vests/flak jackets due to its large mass and high velocity. The problem with these grenades are their overall weight and mass, reducing their throwing range and reducing their potential area of effect. However, anything within it's killing radius (unless properly armored against it) will be simply that: dead.

More modern grenades are lighter and rely more on it's percussive force and ability to stun as well as injure/kill. They're more adept at being used to flush others out of cover so friendlies can dispatch them.

Pineapple: More damage, more penetration, more explosive area of affect
Spherical: More disruptive, higher chances of debilitating the enemy, lighter, can carry more

These old WWI grenades had a kill radius of up to 90 meters

BF1

>>713592931 (OP)
halo ce, 2, and 3
delta force (because it's a gay ass class ability)
fallout 4 grenades are inconsistent but some are really fun
killing floor 2, specifically demolition class. hucking a quarter stick of dynamite at zombies is fun

grenades are generally fun, but they're always limited in carry quantity and are usually very inconsistent. if you made them work like real grenades, they would be the first choice for any engagement, like they actually are. so most games nerf area of effect, where it might be a one shot kill up close but will only just fuck you up outside of a small kill area.

IRL the pinnapple is cut to fling shrapnel way further than the lethal blast range of the actual explosions shockwave.
anti people.
the cylinder (if you aren't doing funny chemicals) is more for when you are packing as much explosive as you can, high explosives to make a powerful blast.
more about busting apart something a bit sturdier than a human.
if you ARE doing funny chemicals then its for more smoke or more fire or whatever.

>>713593930
any video game grenade ever is going to have a laughably small kill radius compared to the real thing

See the post below yours, pineapples straight remodel shitholes especially in Red Orchestra

I think FEAR is still king in terms of spectacle.

>>713593890
>if you cook the grenade to explode a few feet or a meter above the ground
irl or with any game using accurate fuses people don't do that.
the fuses are chemical based and usually are about how fast an acid eats through some metal or something.
its unreliable and the timing varies by 3-5 seconds, or something like that.
so a grenade meant to go off in 10 seconds might go off in 5.

it makes cooking nades into a funny gambling game, like what helldivers 2 did with their dynamite bundles.

>Satisfying frags with large kill radius, deadly shrapnel that can chunk you through armor and encourages you to go prone behind waist high cover, a claymore shrapnel can even hit something across the map
>Flashbang that blinds enemies and makes them accidentally shoot and often kill their own friends

>AI will start to panick, people in front try to run away from the grenade and get bodyblocked by the people behind them

In Halo 1, being in a warthog flips the game on its head. Elites go from being the most dangerous enemy to being completely irrelevant. But grunts go from being completely irrelevant to the most dangerous enemy. All because of grenades. Your brain has to adjust to worrying about grunts and ignoring elites.

cultics dynamite mechanics are great. you can ductape the dynamite to molotov cocktails, light them, toss them or drop them and set traps. or just throw whole bundles and shoot them. some other cool tricks. if you can stand boomershooter sorta things.

>>713593272
Cylinder fits in maximum explode powder
Pineapple makes pineapple chunks

We don't know how good we had it. Modern games are so fucking shit.

>>713593272
Frag pineapples/balls: wider kill radius via shrapnel, better for outdoors.
High-explosive cylinders: tighter kill radius via concussive forces, better for indoors.

>>713595574
What the..?

HALLELUJAH!!!

Arma 3 with ACE

>>713593272
There are defensive and offensive grenades. The F1 pineapples are defensive meant to chuck at rushing enemies who are caught in the open trying to storm you, while you duck back into cover in a trench or building. Using those without being in full cover yourself is suicide.

The cylinder ones are offensive grenades. It kills primarily with explosive force not shrapnel. Its meant to be used in clearing rooms or trenches, where you can toss it into a room and be reasonably certain everything inside it dies, but it wont loterry-kill you for being so near the blast.

You get killed 10 meters away from the explosion

Since people have taken all the immediate picks I will say Escape from Tarkov, if you are a tard they are practically useless but if you know the games physics for them you can do straight magic, then you gotta mention the shockwave knocking out nearby lights and leaving a satisfying little smoke puff where it explodes

MoH, my beloved
there's also a rare animation where a soldier jumps on the grenade to protect the others. in a hundred playthroughs I saw it precisely once, made me lose my shit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GNbRiIJ5bI&t=245s
not a great weapon, but the sound and animation are very fun.

>>713601239
Because effective and useful weapons are never banned.

>>713606042
Was/were. Enjoy AP goodness which will eventually kill civilians in more and more countries all over the world. Appeasement worked even better this time.

There isn't anything much more satisfying than blind hurling a grenade at the start of a Call of Duty match and catching someone right in the spawn.

>>713592931 (OP)
the pineapple grenade is truly the most iconic grenade ever made

always seemed to be a guaranteed kill when you chucked one of these around

i like the stick/torches one

>>713593930
That's due to the shrapnel, not the explosive power.

>>713614180
Why doesn't the helicopter just....Strafe around the rock?

>>713593186
the grenades in Halo CE are filled with high explosive kino, that's what makes them so effective and fun to use
