Should soldiers get more xp from grenades?

Post » Wed Jul 20, 2011 10:19 pm

First topic :D

Anyway, i was wondering, since they are mainly meant to use their grenades, because that's what make them unique, they should get more xp from killing with their grenades? Because if you do it without shooting them, you get about 25 xp. You get more xp without using the grenades, which is really stupid. I think they should get about 40-50 xp for molotovs/grenades. Leave flashbangs the way they are. What do you think?

No. They're thrown enough as it is. (Seriously have Call of Duty flashbacks a lot in matches.)

Really? Nobody needs to get more XP for ANYTHING! Medics buff like crazy, OPs can throw down caltrops, gaining 10-80 xp each time somebody runs across them, engies also buff, but sentries can easily get 120 xp per each kill, and soldiers throw enough grenades as it is.

I think xp is fine for grenades, they're a tool for soft area control (hard if buffed).

Sorry if this is verging on threadjacking, but on the topic of grenades - why after I have thrown/released grenades - if I go down before it detonates (shot after throwing), the grenade ends up beside me in my lap, and sends me home to spawn.

I have a sneaking suspicion, its mainly on non-local servers (ie. lag induced), but since most are down @ the mo' I'm unable to verify this.

Threadjacking- Yes
Annoying glitch- very

That glitch really needs to be fixed.

My main character is a soldier, and I love precision grenade throws. If you do it right the XP you get from knocking down a group of baddies is fine as far as I'm concerned. Also You get assist XP. So, no, I do not think it should be upped.

Yes I think they should, soldiers are under rewarded [XP wise] to engineers and ovcourse medics. Even if you go and kill lots of people and plant a charge and give ammo out when possible a medic or engineer can still easily get more XP than a soldier. Just my opinion

Yeah me too, i'm leveling up a soldier and i love it, but it's much harder to get precision throws then it is to press f over a body, or plonk down a landmine and wait for people to walk on it. Soldier is the only class right now that is hard to level up in, even if you do everything you're supposed to.

I agree. Soldiers main job is killing (lil XP) sometimes blowing something up (once a game if youre lucky) & giving ammo (if youre the only soldier in the team then thats all your pips gone in a heavy defensive situation & stilll not huge XP) so i think grenades that hit more than one person should give bonus XP over the norm for soldiers, to reward them for doing what they should be doing. Nice idea.
