Whats more effective? Flash Bang or Smoke Grenade

Bulletfaced

ull probably say flash because smoke is annoying and laggy..but whats more effective

Smoke, I use it to confuse the other team. While moving into a flanking postion.

depends what mode you use it in, and yes i find any smoke in TDM to be completely useless and annoying as hell, however it's pretty useful in ghost mode though...

and flash is just better overall, but it is still annoying when ur idiot teammates keep flashing you and making you die

Flash, good for rushing and stuff.

Flah bang is better. Some leaves you at a disadvantage because just how your taget is confused about your location. Your also confused about his. you can even throw it across a building and flash your target on the other side. then charge them.

Smoke.


Grenades take far too long to pull out and use and then switch back.

You can throw smoke across the map.

at most times flahes are useless because for example... once i see a flash being thrown i turn around or hide behind something. this makes it ineffective... smoke is just there and just like in a flash, you can't see anyone but their name once you drag your crosshair over their characters. also smoke is apparently good cause you make the enemy lag lmao. my fps in a 8vs8 averages 120 or so, and i do not see a difference

I find there are very situations where you can use a flash. Smokes can be used in a variety of situations for a variety of purposes.

Imo both are pretty much useless in TDM (except maybe smoke for snipers in Monaco)

They have different functions.

Smoke is mainly for blocking sniper vision/distraction/confusing enemy.
Flash is useful when rushing one bombsite.

jumojer2

it depens of your type of player but you cant more rush with flash bang but with smoke you cant easly block the view of your oponent and it makes the other played lag most of the time

People throw flashbangs wrong in this game, its funny.

You're supposed to have throw them so they explode in the air so the enemy has no time to turn around, etc.

XceedForum

Smoke and Mp5 or Mp7 is deadly if your a headshot jerk....
(My type of bag)

So smoke... Flash doesnt last as long and i can hide in corners if a smoke is right there and jump ppl

And for ppl who says smoke sucks for tdm... then you probly cant you use it right...

make another acc with and Mp5 and smoke and play egypt or a small tdm map
(PLZ Dont, thats my idea, dont make another acc with that plz)

Exactly.
Flashes are more effective when exploding in the air.

IMO, I like Smoke. I use it over the C4... It doesn't help much, but hey, sometimes I get lucky, and they can't find it. Or they just lag way too much.

lotsa ppl get mad at me for smoking aaaand i can honestly understand. liek it's good for distractions, or literally hiding in, but a lot of times, it'll end up helping the other team. liek, if ur bl and u smoke around the start of the round that at any point that GR is about to come out, chances r ur just making ur team rush blindly or making them wait for smoke to clear OR making them take a path they didn't originally plan on taking that round. it basically causes a lot of probs, not always, but often.

HOWEVER, it can help in ghost mode sometimes. lol.

nutd

i remember the time when the grenade was so shyte that u could see through it but not its fixed now. personally i like smoke

dieAsoul

um flash! smoke is good for nothing. Even in ghost mode. You might smoke the bomb but then your teammate cant find the bomb. The only way it is ever useful is to confuse the other team that you are elsewhere. Or like say in egypt map, smoke the other team's entrance. That is about it.

Flashbang by far. Blinding an enemy team so they can't shoot back is very useful in S&D.

JurydesEnfer

Both are very useful, it depends of the situation.

A lot of strategies involve using smoke grenades like throwing one at a certain point for 2-3 rounds and use it to make a covered advance (which alone can prove useful), then the next 2-3 rounds, keep smoking the same area while flanking enemies waiting for you. You can use it in your back to prevent you from being shot from behind and as an emergency retreat. You can use it to block snipers sight. You can hide in it and if you find the good position, you can faintly (but sufficiently) see the enemies while being almost invisible to them.
I use it a lot seeing that it doesn't make my FPS drop at all.

The only thing I really hate with smoke is when it is misused by idiots who cannot think a little. This happens mostly in TD, you are sniping (Egypt, Fortress), you are even doing well, and then that nooby smokes everything and you become useless. And as he dies too quickly (what did you expect of him... -_-') he keeps smoking everything completely blinding you or forcing you in a different and less efficient spot.

Flashbang grenades can disorient enemies while you rush them or flank them. Of course, by turning around the flash can be reduced but the temporary deafness is always here meaning your footseps are inaudible. The flashbang becomes overpowered in small maps, you just throw it in the air and half the player can be affected (like in Egypt or Fortress).

The downside of it are the auto-flashing (you feel stupid, and then you feel dead...) or more frequently, the team-flashing (annoying when it's a mistake, F11 when it's on purpose) or the : "OMG I FLSHD U §§ HAKCER", when the enemy flash exploded in front of you but, thanks to some tiny obstacle (the step of a stair, a bump in the ground, etc.) you didn't get flashed at all.
