A suggestion: smoke grenades
|
Hello AC devs,
what do you think of including smoke grenades in AC? this would make the game more exciting and intriguing, more tactical, more action!

What effect exactly would these tear gas grenades have?

B-But everyone is wearing gas masks...

inb4 'ac isnt cod'
But really? No. That would encourage passive gameplay and slow down the gameplay even more that it has slowed already. AC is fast-paced, stun grenades dont have any place here. For me at least.

Lamest thing ever. Don't ever think something like that again.

I think that this can increase the tactical, the action and the reality of the game.
The smoke should last some second. It's something like this http://counterstrike.wikia.com/wiki/Smoke_grenade (and please, i know: AC isn't CS).
The idea doesn't really fit AC's fast action style of gameplay well. Imagine a team throws smoke grenades at all exits of the enemy's base and camps, waiting for people to come out and splatter them with shotties. I'm sure the players who were splattered would feel cheaply killed, and wait for the smoke to subside before leaving the base again (e.g. slowing down gameplay) or theres also a good chance they would just find another server.
I doubt there will ever be any weapons added to the game that purposefully visually or audibly impair other clients. (smoke/flash grenades, etc.) Its just not AC.

I dont think anything like this should be added to AC. This is AC not CS. The only thing that I think if added then it should be another weapon but no shit like this.

Fork the game and add smoke grenades. It's the only way fun, progressive stuff can be added.

smoke will just block vision of people not moving.
this is honestly terrible for competitive. you throw one, and someone takes your flag. he rifles RIGHT into it. now you cant see him. i mean it sounds hilarious, but this would be redundant imo rofl

^the right way of course, replacing non-free to use stuff. :)
Smoke Cube ftw 
"Guest One" (I'll admit your username is quite dubious): Unfortunately, I don't think any radically changing pickups/weapons or the like will be added at this time (at least...not until the rocket launchers? Hint hint), especially with finishing touches being made on 1.2.
Glad you have some creative ideas though, not just some normal weapon addition.

The main problem with smoke grenades is the extra load on graphics it would cause... can you imagine the amount of lag you would get on an old machine when there were 4 or 5 smoke grenades thrown in a small area? It would suck.

Smoke grenades sound cool at first, but like everyone else said, it wouldn't really fit with AC.
Besides... iirc, the way AC works, making it so that you couldn't see past the smoke cloud would also mean you couldn't shoot through the smoke cloud... which is a very obvious problem. In addition, a smoke effect would probably look terrible, unless you made it with fancy particle effects (which really wouldn't fit with the look of AC, although it would probably look cool anyway), but that brings problems such as what Zarjio mentioned, with intense processing, and such a thing would probably inflate AC's download size, which is meant to be very small (and in some cases is a point of pride). With all this being said, your intentions to try to improve the game is not a bad thing (despite many choosing to meet your suggestion with sarcasm and/or cynicism). Thank you for trying :)

Ditto.
This is why I also mention the "rain" effect, although it would certainly give another atmosphere/feeling to the game it is simply not a feature acceptable considering the strict requirements implied to AC

And then everyone using the /smokeoff command. No thank you. If you like more smoke try /fog 30 and youll be happy :D

They did this on Urban Terror. Now only the noob servers use them b/c the pros hate them. Everyone chucks smoke, no on can see shit, and the server lags like hell. I only go on servers that don't allow smoke.
Personally I don't like this idea.

Haha, alpha blending being more costly than stencil shadows? Really?
Smoke grenades are lame, if it ever gets implemented, then IR googles should be added too :P

smoke grenades have no place in AC gameplay, for several reasons, most of them already stated on this thread
