So we all know that Soldiers can use XP to specialize in grenades. We also know they can give out ammo. This brings up something VERY scary IMO. Can they restock themselves with grenades? What will make their grenades better than everyone else's? What is stopping them from turning a fantastic unique balanced game, into a generic frag fest?

the abilities will involve what kind of grenades they can use i think, i doubt they will be overpowered, and i think they already thought about grenade spamming, steps have probably been taken already

in one of the hands on previews after one of the gaming events, they mentioned that there were infinite grenades but that there was a timer of when they would regenerate, but that the soldiers "cool-down" was shorter. They might have changed it, but i like that idea, you still have grenades but you cant really spam them

Exactly. Last I heard there was a 20-30 second cooldown on the grenades, meaning you can throw two or three per minute. Even if Soldiers do regenerate grenades faster than the other classes they can still only throw one at a time, so spamming is still impossible.

I don't think frags'll be as powerfull as in other games either.

Tell me other games where splash damage from grenades knocks you down leaving you incapacitated for a short amount of time, getting skimmed by a grenade could be your downfall, its more realistic but it could be a [censored] when your trying to run away from someone.

This kinda hard to spam with a cooldown.

Also, they have said in multiple interviews that players gets lots of incentives to restock other players rather than themselves. Restocking a teammate gives you experience, but helping yourself does not. Also, the cooldown for helping others is said to be shorter. I suppose it wont stop all players from playing selfishly, but i think that a team that works together is going to tend to come out on top when playing vs someone who just runs around throwing grenades.

It also costs less to buff another player.
