It's simply too weak. The spread of the spikes is immense, which is what makes the spike grenades kill a warthog when stuck, but nothing else, when stuck on the wall near a player.
I've once killed a player by sticking the spike grenade to the wall beside him. But he was incredibly close to it. If the spread of the spikes wasn't so damn big, you would get more kills. I frankly like the style of the grenade, but it's pretty useless for other then directly sticking a target.
My thoughts exactly.
I was thinking since it is supposed to fill an anti-vehicle and defensive purpous, that perhaps the spike grenade stays the same, but it's method of exploding should change?
When you throw it, it takes either three or two seconds to explode after hitting something or until something walks within the kill zone to detonate.
That way, if you had an attacker chasing you, you could turn around, stick it onto a wall, and force the attacker to shoot the grenade himself or attempt to charge through the shrapnel to continue to pursue you. Much more of a defensive role than it already is, eh?
Agreed. Make it more of a mine on a wall style, and include it in levels with the plasma grenades. It would add more variety first of all.
Gears of War 2 style? :D
