Does smoke really help in gm?

Generally no. The benefit of it is pretty quickly destroyed by the fact that you can't see beyond the smoke.

Good on some C4 covers if you know you're dealing with breathdowned shovelers, but other then that its just a distraction.

Depending where and when u throw the Smoke.

Faded smoke, or the sides of the smoke cloud help the best.

It does work

So almost every gm game i play, there r those ppl that smoke the sites or just throw their smoke bombs at random places. I tell them to stop smoking, cuz it blocks my view and makes my fps drop a little. But they always reply, "No! the smoke helps me see the ghost better". I no that the smoke can help you see ghosts better, but is it a advantage? Cuz normally the ghosts that are dumb enough to go in smoe dont no hwo to b hop, so u basicly dont ned the smoke to c them. And the ones that can b hop r smart and will go around the smoke. So to me the smoke doesnt really help, and the smoke has many disadvantages:

1)makes ur fps drop
2) blocks ur view
3) ghosts can use it as cover while they run to the sites.

What DOES happen:

You're right, people throw smokes often. But not always at random places, they throw it at so-called "anchor points" (like entrances to bomb sites or so). I never noticed that my fps drops (but never checked it either). Smoke prevents bunny hoppers from not being seen => everybody ghost gets killed.

So here are the contradictive advantages:

1) Never noticed that my fps dropped;
2) Ghosts are visible when you stand out of the smoke;
3) Ghosts are visible while they run to the sites => soldiers kill them.

because you don't know how to use them correctly.

It's useless if they're behind the smoke, not in it.

in clan wars it's good to throw smoke in popular b hoppable places. if ghosts are brave enough to try to b hop through you might catch them. Smoking the site is just dumb. people will lag and ghosts will tank and easily run away. + it doesn't help with cover since teams know where they plant bombs.


in pubs, i dunno doesn't matter. you'll get kicked long before you notice if it helps or not.

But this is just my opinion.

Yes, it helps.

understand that smoke isn't JUST to see the occasional outline of ghosts.
used correctly, smokes can be very effective in GM.

Its good when you have bhoppers. Only real weakness to bhop is smoke. You'll be able to see them moving.

Just get some practice with aiming the smokes. Use it in narrow corridors, where it covers side to side. Bhop DAT!

The shadow

Yeah, I don't like the smoke now
Yer, it made smoke more realistic but imo, it's less helpful
i prefer the older one

Yes it does help.

if you use high setting you can see the ghost bunny hopping out of or threw the smoke or ghost in the area or keeps them away from the area for the how ever long the smoke gernade last .

yes i can be used helpfull for some but placed and used in a wrong timing would be useless .
