No starting grenades was intentional because the map is unbalanced with starting grenades. They had tested the map with starting grenades, but it resulted in unbalanced, unenjoyable gameplay because the entire game would become a spree of people hurling grenades at the center structure. They permanatly took Backwash out of MM because of it's emulation problems on the 360 which causes massive frame rate drops, which then causes Xbox Live/System Link games to lag. The frame rate problems occur in split screen, system link and Xbox Live matches, the lag is only in system link and XBL because there can't be lag in split screen. I love Backwash, but it's unplayable now.
