Subject: Magic Nade Theory - seriously crazy nade stick

Check this out -- playing ranked slayer on High Ground, I managed to spear a grenade with my spike grenade sending both hurtling towards an enemy. They explode separately (at head level). Poor guy never knew what hit him!

That's one of the crazier things I've ever seen.

I agree. It may not bounce around the level a hundred times and eventually stick some guy - which I think would've been the only better thing in this situation; To have the spike-with-grenade-attached stick the enemy, and THEN have them both go off. But, it's still crazy enough to give me that warm/tingly sensation.

I once dreamed I saw a Drinniol fight a Lekgolo, but I won't say which was victorious

The really interesting thing to me is the trajectory of the combined double-grenade after they stick together. I might be reading too much into the physics model here, but the fact that it continues to move in the direction you threw the spike grenade suggests to me that the frag grenade has lower mass than the spike grenade. I wonder if it would be possible to measure the velocity of the combined grenade and compare it to the velocity of the two before hand to gauge the relative mass of the two grenade types. Actually... if the two grenade types do have different in-game weights, I wonder if their initial velocity when thrown is any different...

I suppose a better question would be, what interesting ways could you do utilize such information about in-game velocities and masses?

thats pretty awesome...nice video

  • 10.24.2007 4:00 PM PST

Wasn't what you expected now was it?

Woah, Nice 0.o
Still, its interesting that after the spike grenade stuck to the frag, it changed directions
Wonder if it would do the same if you hit another spiker at the same time?

If my calculations are correct, then Slinky+Escalator = INFINITE FUN!

As far as physics goes, I assume it's because the grenade was decelerating (thrown earlier) and the spike had just been launched AND has the added force of the spin. I can't tell for sure, but the spike looked like it flew a little off-kilter once the nade was attached -- at least, that's why I replayed the clip in the first place.

I assumed they'd both go off at the same time, too, but this way was just as entertaining :D
