Flashbang, how to avoid getting blind
Comments
-
Well in my case, I get lagged on for a solid 3-5 seconds whenever I eat a flash. During that time, I become the immobile tank. My computer completely freezes, I get a white screen, and can't move at all. People can shoot me as much as they please, usually depleting a 30 round mag.
When I regain control of my character, I find them crouching/taking cover and reloading. Now I simply just put one between the eyes and move on.
Now they're all mad, saying "You tank bruh!" ...but I just tell them not to throw flash at me anymore and they usually comply. -

U blind for a shorter time. can someone compare the difference?
The stupid flashbang bounces around, sometimes u think it is in front but it is in the back. it can blind u even from sideways. -

1. Get flash guard (GP Mall/GP Crates)
2. Look away (180 turn)
3. Hide behind a box/door/object for a sec.
4. Play TDM with Flash/Smoke off
5. GET A FLASH GUARD, waaay easier lol
I always have flash guard but.... it never seems to work for me -

With flashguards, looking right at a flash only blinds for about 3 seconds.
With out flashguards, looking right at the flash blinds for about 5-6 seconds.
Looking away with or with out flashguards, only last 1 second.
Doing a 180 when flash is in front of you is the best course most of the time. -

4 GB RAM
College Internet with download speeds at 4 Mb/sec.
OP: It's some weird bug, only a select few have it. Sometimes I don't fully tank all the shots and I die before I regain control...but when I do tank, ha, that's a whole different story.
Seeing them running back while reloading their guns, it's quite amusing. -

Please, for the love of God, send me your PC. -

Thank you for explaining.
Also when flashed w/o flash guard, you seem to be completely deaf for 2 seconds and the image is kinda frozen after you "recover" -

This one right hurr....cept upgraded to 4GB RAM, and two 500GB 7200RPM HDs.
Do you know of any people that used to have that bug and have now gotten it fixed? It's honestly really annoying having to freeze up, especially when I'm playing STQ -_- -

I stopped taking this game seriously, so I don't mind this little flash bug. I heard Us3r had this too, but he got it fixed with an driver upgrade of his GPX card.
I tried it, but didn't work for me sadly enough. -
If it's too late to avoid being flashed and you are fully flashed you can still see the radar. I just look at it and strafe my little blip backwards behind cover maybe firing a few rounds in the direction(hopefully) of the enemy. Assuming this is an option in whatever the scenario is.

4gb ram isnt that much...but cf is a processor based engine anyways...so its more about ur cpu...but why spend $3000 on a laptop...when you could build an epic gaming pc for that...unless you're doing a tasty...
OT: Flash guard, turn around, hide, or learn to use it to your advantage....i got a golden headshot with an awm whilst flashed...jst move and when u see red, shoot ;D
