Grenade aiming problem

[Dishonest Abe]

Does anyone else have a problem with aiming grenades? I will aim at a certain spot and when I throw it, my aim will magically change to the furthest I can throw. I also think there is a problem with aiming guns over the shoulder. I will aim somewhere and where I am actually aiming is completely different than where the reticule is. Seems to be the most screwed up when aiming upwards at an angle. If I aim at a rock formation above me and move the crosshair left to right, I can see Snake adjusting his arms so that he is actually pointing the gun in a different direction.

Holding down makes the grenade travel a longer distance. If you just tap the attack button he'll throw it the short distance.

Well, throwing a grenade since MGS4 is pressure sensitive, so it conflicts with a keyboard and mouse because all our inputs are binary..

Maybe we can ask to get a time window in which you are throwing the damn grenade in a high angle then switch after .5sec or so to low angle

maybe a 70° angle at the beginning which flattens the longer you hold the LMB, or just simpy two inputs.

No it's a bug. It only happens with grenades I think. It doesn't affect magazines and I don't recall having this problem at all in Ground Zeroes.

Don't count on it.

They have bigger problems that they didn't fix

The HE grenade is just plain bugged when playing with mouse.

Normally, when aiming (F default) and doing a single left mouse click, the grenade should be thrown at a short distance with the hand motion coming from below to the top.

Holding the left mouse button should add range to the throw; snake's throw motion comes from behind his back.

However, no matter if you do a single key press or hold the left mouse button, he always throws the grande at the same distance. My friend, who plays on a gamepad, does not experience this issue - and he does experience it on keyboard.

Please fix this, it's extremely annoying.

You have to hold the mouse button for a bit, not too long or it will be a normal throw
Try practicing with smoke/sleep grenades on motherbase, it's not that hard once you understand how to do it
