I personally prefer the frag nade as it doesn't block my asault route if i use it, but to everyone their own.

The frag grenade does a good job of covering tracks. As does the stun grenade, or even the smoke grenade. Heck, any of'em'll work.

And yeah--the thermite/fire grenade does block one way out a little more than the others. Can't turn around an' run back, safely.

But, then again, isn't that the point? To block a path/route?

And just kinda hope--or plan it so--that a friendly isn't in the wrong place, at the wrong time? Or isn't going to use that route in the next few minutes? Otherwise, he or she may become a fried-friendly.

Anyway, since we all get the point here, I'll shut up.

"Finally!", Eh? Heh...

As with Dante's Inferno: do the sin long enough and you are no longer a mere sinner... you become the sin!

The fire nade has sinned too long and too many experienced players sink to N00bishness with it in hand.  We should tax it like evil tobacco; it should become the target of the “femi-nazi's” and be “femi-naded.”  Let's lower its alcohol (err, nade content) to acceptable levels for the children...

Well, you get my point.

As far as N00b behavior is concerned in regards to tk'ing: folks who camp in doorways with a shottie should expect to get accidentally tk'd by a friendly once in a while.... folks who charge forward into a cross-fire should expect to lose their noggin by a friendly.

(Enough of the egomaniacal types who blame others for their reckless behavior) Unfortunately, there isn't an idiot percentage where you get points subtracted for stupidity.  The guy who pulls the trigger gets the tk instead of the "stupe" that rushed forward (or who stood b*lls up in the doorway).
