Do a barrel roll!
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I am a big fan of smoke grenades (Willy Pete's) since if used effectively can really turn a demolition/sabotage game around. I must say though, Willy Pete's on Black Ops might as well just be added to the list of things 3arc failed at miserably on this game. If any of you have ever used them frequently, I'm sure you might be asking yourself the same question I am...

Why in the hell can players on the other team SEE RIGHT THROUGH the smoke screen!?! At times, my screen will be filled with smoke, and I can barely see my own gun, but on the kill cam (or in theater mode) there is absolutely no smoke what-so-ever on the enemies screen, or there is a ton of smoke yet the enemy can see right through it.

Anyone else witness this yet?

Usually Theater mode doesnt show what really happend, most likely your enemy seen you through the smoke because when your in the smoke you apear as a darkish figure, my advise. play a different gametype, the smoke nades are trash in this game.

I use it on domination when trying to a flag that needs to be capture,Use it as an distraction so noobs be just looking at the smoke thinking someone going to come out of the smoke =)

I find the major problem is that the smoke radius isn't big enough.

The following user thanked Meatwad for this useful post:

I don't really use it, but it as worked against me before. In a domination match the enemy threw it at a flag and 2 enemies were capturing the flag but I could only see one to shoot. Long story short they got the flag. It seems like you have to be pretty accurate on where you put it. Because like Meatwad said the radius is not very big.

looooooooooooooooool.

The killcam lies because of lag. The truth is that they see the smoke, it just doesn't always show up in theater/killcam.

There have been times where I threw the smoke up ahead, and was prone behind cover and an enemy still shot right at me instantly. There is no way they could see the top of my head through a smoke screen in front of me.

Main purpose of this thread was to notify any noobs so they know not to use them because they are complete garbage, and to point out yet another fail on 3arc's part.

Yes, it isn't that hard if i am honest, the auto drag you get when an enemy is on the other side of the wall, or through smoke is easy enough to identify where the enemy is and fire a short burst of spray through the smoke, killing an enemy Smile
