lower or remove the explosion "shakies"

ever try using an assault rifle while an engineer is spamming sesimics at the barracks next to you? the ironsights become next to unusable because it shakes SO DAMN MUCH!

So please, change it.

and before you put realism or SOMETHING into the discussion, remember our motto: FUCK REALISM.

 

I actually think of it as compensation for minimal infantry damage.
When you're shaking, just use crosshairs, or aim with crosshairs, then switch to Ironsights

 

Or use the center of your screen as a general crosshair.

 

Or don't stand next to the grenades when they explode.

Removing the shaking would remove the idea where the name seismic comes from for the grenades, don't you think?

 

I often use them as a fancy sort of flash nade.
Throw one or two in and then attack

 

If the seismic grenades did damage over time to structures then the shaking would make sense.

 

Seismic is something to do with shockwaves.
Shockwave=Shake.

 

so i cant ever effectively kill an engineer as a rifleman when he is blowing the crap out of my rax unless i read this post?

lame.

 

Seismics are an excellent way to grief your team on a map like district, or conversely to annoy the hell out of the other team. Either way, they are an excellent way to annoy, and as such probably need to be fixed.

 

But same can be said for concs and smoke nades. I think that's an issue for admins to sort out.

 

Well it is no worse than the scout nades, now those can really screw over your team.

 

Remove the whole sesimic nade spam.
