One thing I really loved about flashbangs is that you could use them to move from cover to cover easily.
Example: When playing as MEC from their main base at karkand, I would throw a flashbang over to the USMC side, they would get flashed, and I would run closer to their place.
Now, the radius is so small with them, you have to be in grenade area of effect range next to one of them for your screen to be flashed for 3 seconds. This makes them completely useless.
Or sometimes I would throw one around a corner where a known enemy is, and then run through and kill him. Now, it is about effective as throwing a normal grenade around the corner.
Anyone agree?
