In games like call of duty you could hold a grenade just before it would explode. Do you think brothers in arms will have this.

Well if Ubisoft wants to make a historically accurate game, they will allow cooking of the hand grenades. Not only is it historically accurate it allows for more battle strategies. Nothing like cooking a frag to blow right when it enters a room. Campers beware.

Anyone wanna double check on whether or not this is historically accurate? I'm pretty sure it is since there was TNT in these pinapple grenades meaning it was pretty much on a timer. Yet I believe it was later when grenades didn't really do anything until thrown when the spool I believe comes undone... stopping here as my knowledge is rusty on the topic.

The first picture is of a common American WWII era MK2 Fragmentation hand grenade. The second picture is of a M2 series Fuse found inside the MK2 hand Grenade. The M2 series Fuse houses a black power igniter that fully ignites after 4.5 to 5 seconds after the safety lever is released. Setting off the main charge of EC smokeless powder, which replaced the earlier TNT charge. TNT was replaced by the EC powder basically because it was to powerful. TNT created to small of fragments where the EC powder created a more lethal sized fragment. Another cool factoid is that the grooves in the MK2 grenade which earned the nickname "Pineapple grenade" actually serve as gripping and not for fragmentation which is the common misconception. So yeah, basically, a 5 second cook would be historically accurate.

also it would be cool if every once in a while a grenade would be a dud and not explode. But not to often since that would be stupid.

HAHAHAHAH http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/88.gif That reminds me what a private said to me Back in Iraq,while he was bracking how good he was trowing grenades,as a tank gunner my-self I dont see so much gun fights up to close my self,but we enter an emty part of piece of highway,and he wanted to show me how good he realy was,so he was getting pretty ignored by the rest of the guys up there,so we let him trow a grenade at a rock and it diden't blew up,I've never saw a guy run that fast in my live ever http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
