Right so... i thought it would be a great idea if humans could cook off their grenade and be able to throw it accurately, just like in games like Halo and America's Army.

Bad idea.

The grenade can do 310 damage.

If you could time your toss precisely enough to throw it into alien's face, it would instantly kill everything smaller than a Tyrant, which it would leave with 90 health.  

It would then take 18 rifle bullets to kill the Tyrant at that point.

It might work out if the grenade was super nerfed, though, although I think most players like it the way it is.

You can aim your grenade already, just look at the point where you want it thrown. Any more control over grenades would seriously hamper the balance.

n00b: I'm gonna nade their base LoLz :D :D
n00b: gonna cook it nice'n'hot and throw it at t3h om
Player1 was killed by TEAMMATE n00b
Player2 was killed by TEAMMATE n00b
Player3 was killed by TEAMMATE n00b
Player4 was killed by TEAMMATE n00b
n00b blew himself up
n00b was kicked for excessive team damage

The art of the holy hand grenade is to drop it without the aliens noticing, so they all get blown up while they're busy trying to stop you from painsawing the om, for example. I'd like to be able too cook grenades, but I'm unsure how it'd effect balance, etc. Perhaps someone could write a mod for this to see how it works out?

so are you saying that we should throw the grenade?
That is really cheap because then when you go and attack the alien base, you can just open the door and throw grenade aiming at the egg, om, or an alien and run away.
And I like being a grenade suicide squad :P

Are the humans Palestinian?  Being able to cook grenades would make suicide attacks a viable form of quick cash.
