Smoke Bomb - Page 2

I may be wrong but if it covers a large amount of the screen, wouldn't 10 seconds be quite a long time? Sorry to be a party pooper, but somebody could smoke you with loads of the bombs, making the entire screen covered in the stuff. Then the attacker could switch to pipebombs and kill you.
Make a long freezing time, or limit them to only 50, or make them more expensive.

The smoke effects both players unless wearing infared goggles which take up 2 slots.

This would still put the thrower at an advantage, seeing as he is prepared for what is to come. He would then blindy throw pipebombs at the opponent, after smoking them (That sounds weird).

i like the smoke bomb idea, if its one handed you could really annoy some people with mines in the other hand (muwahahahahaha) but 800x600 seems a little BIG for just one bomb, i agree you need walking space in it, but would the bomb spew out smoke until it reaches that limit? or what

I think it should be alittle smaller.

I have an idea - maybe you can have heat sensors instead of infrared, because heat sensors make things look much cooler. Infrared would only be like putting red plastic foil over your eyes...
Or maybe since this is supposed to be futuristic you can have infrared contacts or heat sensing contacts, or maybe even eyeball upgrades :O

I'd love to see some sort of smoke bomb or something on Zone. I think it should be similar to the gas shells on Era though, it lays some smoke and if you walk through it you can't see at all.

yeah, that sounds decent enough, but another idea would be kinda like this
the smoke bomb can be used to hide you as well, so why doesnt it remove you from the radar as well, like jamming the censors to make you "invisible"

Infra-red is heat sensing.

Too much of an advantage.

Yes I agree, since they are only 10$ a pop.

Would there be any way to counter-act the smoke screen? Like infra-red goggles something snazzy like that?

That's where the level 3 magical eye spell comes in, silly.
