Yea youll find servers like that occasionally. Its allowed as far as i know. I rented an artofwar ranked server for a month a while back and you could turn FF on or off whenever you wanted, even in the middle of a round.

Even in other games (like SOCOM), if you run and jump then throw a grenade (or whatever) it will go farther. Sounds like how it would work in real life, to me.

the trick isnt the throwing far.

its the blowing up before it hits the ground and taking no damage. thats unintended usage, a failure on DICE's part.

ranked servers are supposed to be forced to have FF on and punkbuster on...

so either something changed, or it was unranked

I am not going to complain about this as i think it is true to the real world. it is also a major benefit when a tank is patrolling some stretch of a street and has u stuck behind a wall. just do a run, jump, throw (of c4) over the wall onto the tank.

good bye little tank boy

Throwing C4 over the fence where the MEC camp at the first spawn at Karkand for the win.

That's not how it works in real life, but sure. The best possible throw would be a baseball throw, and I've never seen anyone jump right before they throw a baseball. You simply can't get the leverage from the air that you can if you have both feet planted. So that's that for the grenades. As for the c4, I'm all about doing whatever you have to to get kills.

In baseball you are required to keep your foot on the rubber, or else it'll be called a balk. However in cricket you are running forward and making a little leap before tossing the ball. Your forward momentum while running is transferred to the ball so it is already in motion. The leap adds a little bit of speed and height to it.

Hmm ok my piece of advice today will be the following.
There is no way you will get close to me when im Spec Ops/Sniper/Medic/Support/Assault Or Engineer.
However you WILL get to get close to me when I am AT..
...And then you will get to meet my DAO.

Wich is much more effective in CQC then C4 mind you .

Try throwing a rock from a stand-still 'standing' position, and then try running and then lobbing it forward. The overall distance will be more. Its called "momentum". (As I now see has been mentioned above.)

Conditions of circumstance: the rules applying momentum and throwing items of the trade are not the same in baseball as they are in warfare. There is no formal "throwing etiqute" or rules for throwing in the military. If you can use one hand to throw and one to detonate before it hits the ground or whatever, its fair game, as you concur.

Point being that baseball players and their projectiles are a poor reference for a momentum example. Wrong players, different projectiles and circumstances.

Over-and-out

no it must be on and all it takes is one person to bitch about that server and they will get it pulled so fast their head will spin. on a side note there is some trick andi cant figure it out either, perhaps akeybind on the new logitech faming keyboard? but they can toss and detonate a c4 in one jump, while in the air and not hurt themselves, ive seen it and there is definitly some type of exsploit involved, just visit the modders karkand, youll soon know exactly what i mean.

People have tried that "Trick" on me. I just shoot them before they have a chance to detonate.

I wasn't talking about running and throwing, i was saying jumping. And i wasn't talking about pitching either, the outfield fielding it back in take a hop and the throw it, as in cricket, they land before they throw to get leverage out of their feet. Either way, jumping isn't the best option.

from what i have seen and read, its not about throw distance, but the fact these guys can throw and before it hits the ground the can have the detonator out and blow you without taking damage them selves, even though they are closer to the blast.
