Does anyone know how to do the quick grenade throw in MP??

People are tossing the Grenade super quick and really short, and I am wondering how they are doing.

tapping L2? or when aiming with L1 tap L2?

I am pretty sure it is definitely is not the tapping L2 unless I am doing it that wrong. But I used that a lot in SP myself so I am pretty familiar with doing it.

It is like super quick and lands right in front of you from a short distance. It honestly just does not behave like the normal grenade throw.

I am pretty sure it just has to be a very specific controller combo that does it, so perhaps it is L1 then tap L2 I will try that some more to see.

EDIT - And the reason that leads me to believe it is something specific but not well known is I really only specifically saw it in one match over and over. Then when I asked the people who kept doing it, which was a big party of guys who were all high ranks so even people on my team were part of this party, they either got all quiet or starting being ass' about it and saying something like "wouldn't you like to know." So it very well could be it is actually nothing and / or they were just getting real lucky or were that good.

Oh not sure what those guys were doing. Not sure if there is another combination there is to trow the grenades.

Nice, That is awesome CoOp is counted towards your stats for MP. It is the one and only reason I still have a positive KD Ratio. Without it my Ratio would easily be a -10 I would think. Easily LOL

I did just realize tonight when you choose Ranked, that means ranked with people near your Rank. :blush:

I was just choosing whatever and getting put into matches with people Ranked in high 30"s etc and it was just not fun or enjoyable at all.

Honestly the MP could use some work overall. I do not like the whole lack of control when choosing Ranked. I would love to choose Ranked but then just choose Plunder and only Plunder. Elimination and only Elimination.

Which BTW, I can pretty much say Elimination is by far my favorite MP mode in this game. It is more deliberate and strategy is actually involved. It makes it more like Ghost Recon to me, etc., you have to be smart. The other modes are more just run and gun, and I feel it is just to hectic and not that much fun to play. Things happen to quickly and it really comes down to who is the quicker player, almost who is the bigger "spaz," and I am not trying to use that word in a bad way, as it does have it's time and place and do not get me wrong, being that type of player is definitely still a skillful type of playing and takes a pretty good player to become good at that twitchier faster type of game play, it is just I never really liked that type of game-play personally. I would rather do an Elimination type mode where it is more about strategy and playing smart more than just about who is quicker on the controls.

So basically my final "Overall review of both SP and MP" on Uncharted 2 is...

  • Easily one of the best Single Player games in a long, long, long time, and it undeniably actually ranks among the best games ever. I just cannot stress enough how damn good the SP game is.
  • The MP is a very nice addition to have, especially on the PS3 where the MP side of things has not had a wide array of offerings thus far, so that is great to finally give a PS3 exclusive a truly worthy MP as well.
  • I absolutely love the CoOp MP games, and my only complaint with it is I really wish there were more than 3 levels. I truly hope they release some DLC and I will definitely pay for it if they do.
  • And as for as the traditional MP with other people, it is pretty good, but not what I would call special. Some modes are no fun at all if you are playing higher ranked people, some modes are just not all that fun IMO as they are just to fast paced overall, but some of the modes are real good fun. But overall the Uncharted MP is nothing that will take me away from playing Modern Warfare 2 when it is released, although it is definitely very good.

I need to get my fix on CoOp with you DL, and with other people on here.

I enjoy CoOp a lot more than deathmatch or elimination (because in CoOp I can at least win hahaha).

Definitely, especially since I have technically only made it through one of the CoOp levels in full so far. :laugh:

It was the only time I played with 3 people, and we made it through the 2nd map. Every other time I have played it has just been me and one other person, and while we have made it real far, we just cannot beat it as 2 people. I do think it can be done, but having the full 3 really makes it that much better. So I am definitely down. (Y)

The kind where you play with one or two other people and go through a customized level from the game meant for the three of you. It is indeed fun.

Just a thought Larry, could there be a perk for quicker grenade throws??

This is the most feasible thing I have heard, I will look into it. They do show the peoples perks when they kill you, but I never thought to look. :laugh:

Yes, there is a perk for grenade throws. It is the Revenge Perk, it was given to the people who preordered the game via Gamestop.

But the Revenge Perk works only when you die. If you kill someone who has the perk, and they have a grenade, they drop it as soon as they die. If you stay around the corpse for too long (seconds), you'll get killed by the grenade.

But what DL said looks like it was people who were pretty much alive, just quick throwing the grenades.

KoL, you are pwning! 215 kills and only 19 deaths! Wow.

Most of those kills are from coop :laugh:

I played one Deathmatch and I was pretty good. Like 15 kills and like 8 deaths, not bad.

I'm going to finish everything on SP first and then play MP.

Yeah definitely not what you are describing there, and it is exactly as you said in the bottom line. MoFo's are just throwing the grenades super quick and super accurate but what is the real kicker is the time they take to explode. They explode almost instantly even if they do not hit you. It is just weird, I am now on a mission to figure this out LOL

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.

    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal by Sayan Sen SSDs and GPUs are incredibly hard to get nowadays due to high pricing. Discounts are quite rare which is why we report on them as soon as we spot a good deal. For example AMD's new 9070 GRE was finally up for sale at a very good price of just $500 thanks to a special coupon. Sadly that deal is gone but if you happen to be looking for a 4TB NVMe SSD and can spend around $400 there is a really good offer on sale that you should not miss out on as TeamGroup's 4TB G50 model is on sale for that that price which means you are only paying $100 per TB, a very good deal in the current market (purchase link under the specs table down below). The TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 drive and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. Since this is a 4TB drive you can use it for a gaming library to take advantage of things like DirectStorage. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. Get it at the link below: Team Group T-FORCE G50 4TB Internal SSD (TM8FFE004T0C129): $449.99 + $50 off w/ promo code SSF69668, limited offer => $39.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.
