I have heard encountered people who complain that grenade bounces far to much, and as much as i agree i feel it musn't be changed.
so i decided to give out a few pointers on how to use more of the grenades full potential.
clumped structures:
people tend to not use nades hare as it is not viewed as "cost efficient" but i beg to differ.
the time it takes to do this tends to be very quick (IE use nade, run to base)as structures that are clumped together tend to be base defenses, and this means a base is more vulnerable to rush and is easier to target the 'valuable" base components IE booster, eggs, OM.
when using the nade in this mater, try to make the nade bounce off a wall to the intended target, as this means there is less of a chance that the nade will just bounce away.
Then best way to do this if before a rush alone, this will mean that more people will live to inside a base and do more damage in less time and with more of a chance to use another nade on a intended target.
i recommend people to use the nade in this attack style more often.
suicide/Psaw rush.
the most used style when it comes to a nade but IMO not the best way to do it.
i am not going to tell you how to rush as there are guides out there on how to do this, but i will tell you what how and when to uses it on.
Targets:
Booster: a good target but depending on map OM may be better, is quick to be rebuilt so attacking its defenses and bringing it to near death is best before rush.
OM: Depends on map and placement, can win the game if the whole alien team doesn't return to base.
EGG: can also win the game but Not always viable as eggs may be on ceiling.
Timing: using it as soon as you get to the target is often the best bet, but using just before can buy you extra time by both killing aliens and damaging the target.
Using the grenade: i recommend the best way to use the grenade in these manners is to aim straight up or down, so it stays in place without bouncing away from the target.
anti basi/dieing before intended use: using the nade if you are grabbed by a bais is a complete waste if you're not in the base, but its still best to use it. try to aim for a wall closet to you.

Common sense? No, guide.

Not really a guide.

Great guide SirDude!
I never would have figured out that you throw grenades where they explode and kill things!

I'm making a grenade guide guys. Here is what I have so far.
The Preparation
1. Buy a grenade.
The Big Moment
1. Throw it in your base.
2. Get banned for being a moron.
3. Uninstall Tremulous.
4. Put sticky notes on your computer that remind you to never play this game again (because you are a moron).
