A new consumable to dump down a smoke screen to obscure vision and heat vision on the battlefield. Very useful for attackers on CW trying to push up in the choke points.

Good idea. Or, on a similar note, an EMP artillery strike that scrambles sensors i.e. mass ECM for 15 seconds/30 seconds/whatever.

I support smoke barrages to give attackers openings.

I agree the red smoke screen isnt very effective, would rather have an actually obscuring smoke screen.

PGI has stated the it is a good idea but it will couse FPS drops on the weaker computers so it isn't in the game

So the Counterstrike lag-grenade theory?

I'm sure they can come up with strategies for how to have this work when the game is run on a toaster. This is really needed for attackers to get some dynamic cover during a battle.

Milder damage, smaller burst radius, increased smoke for the WP.

Current heavier damage/wider radius but nearly useless smoke for Strikes.

Dig it.

I love the idea.

Some people REALLY need to upgrade their PC's so everyone can have these nice things. Hell, look at what we had in Closed Beta. My PC is 5-6yrs old, a 1st gen i5 and while i have some framerate issues on 1 or 2 maps under certain circumstances, the game plays really well on high pretty much all the time.

As someone that's played on both sides of the CPU fence, I can tell you that the i5/i7 series runs MWO waaaaaaaaaay better than anything AMD produces. It's not necessarily that many peoples computers are old or poor - it's just that this game is poorly optimized, and runs like *garbage* on AMD.
