grenade as a weapon

Hotkey that you can hold to throw further.

Quick nade

Grenade hotkey was a good idea back in Halo and is still a good idea now

It should be forced to be a weapon

Grenade as man.

>>385236005
Depends
In deus ex it makes sense as a weapon since its has a lot of utility.
In a fast paced game like killing floor though it works better as a hotkey because you can react faster.

I'd prefer as a hotkey. It's a useful side-function and I don't want to switch from my weapon every time I need to use it.

>>385236005
There is literally no downside to having grenade as a hotkey, it's quick, it's useful, and most importantly you can use it when you really need it without going through your inventory while keeping your main weapon ready to use in case the grenade was bad.

>>385236930
LAMs are more like mines, really.

both, with additional throwing options as a weapon

So here's an idea, how bad would it be to have guns being hotkeyable? Either hold the key to keep it held out until released, or it just fires on a key press.

>>385237153
That's retarded.

>>385237153
Unless you have a core mechanic that demands constant usage of several different weapons in a battle, it's an awful idea.

>>385237153

might be kind of cool in an 1800s ish setting, mostly melee with a few quickdraw derringers or revolver or something

Hotkey without a doubt

>>385237124
How are you going to pull the pin?

>>385237467

with teeth like in favorite action movie

I fucking hate grenades in video games

They are all useless

>>385237467
Thumb. As demonstrated in countless action movies.

>>385237467
teeth

>>385237153
>not using 1-9 on the keyboard for individual weapons

get cucked consolefags

>>385237574
Stalker has good grenades.

Which is hilarious because half of the guns in the game are dogshit awful. But grenades, those are good and you can get some after the first battle.

>>385237661
>having only 9 weapons in your game

>>385237153
Sounds horrific unless the game is designed around this mechanic.

Pic related has guns on a hotkey, in the same fashion grenades are in Halo/CoD

>>385237574
Good grenades in video games:

>Proximity detonation
>Impact detonation
>Area of effect
>Some flashbangs
>Cookable grenades in multiplayer

Bad grenades in video games:

>Everything else

>>385236005

but what would the alt function do?

>>385236005
One grenade as a weapon
One grenade as Hotkey

Bonus: the weapon one is shit.

>>385238067
Sticky grenades are good too, since it doesn't really matter if they explode instantly if you actually hit the fucker and it lets you stick them to areas people wouldn't normally look to avoid grenades.

>>385238120
mouse 1 throw
mouse 2 precise roll toss

or

mouse 1 throw explosive grenade
mouse 2 sticky grenade toss

>>385237601
You could rip your teeth out trying that, it's not as easy as in movies.

>>385236005
Hotkey, there's practically no game where you're going to be using a grenade as a primary weapon

>>385238680
good thing we're talking video games here, then

>>385236092
Hold to cook>>>hold for distance

>>385238749
actually it's a modern games thing

>>385238067
>he doesn't like cookable grenades in single player

>>385236005
Hotkey is more fun, weapon makes you think more about when to use or not to use it.

>>385238941
>weapon makes you think more about when to use or not to use it
In practice it ends up being never used more often than not.

>>385238816
CoD babby pls go.

>>385238871
I know some modern games have it, I'm saying it's unnecessary

both

>>385237153
Heres a idea based off yours:
You're a gun-mancer, you summon guns of certain types through hotkeys per gun type (Assault rifle, smg, etc.) and can either shoot till the gun is empty, or swap it out for another.

Whole game would just be akin to DmC but with guns, no reloading, discard and resummon, combos through chaining gun-keys.

>>385239346
I'd play the fuck out of that. Now are we talking auto aim combos like DmC or actually aiming the guns

Auto aim sounds like it'd be better in this siuation, or a lockon function.
