Has anyone used this much? Any incite?
I accidentally used it on the scout sniper class thinking it was an EMP grenade and found out it will blackbird your targets instead of uav them.
Does anyone know the stats for it? Exposure radius, how long the nade lasts, how long the blackbird lasts, if the targets are still tagged if they leave the radius, will teammates see tagged enemies, etc.
Edit: Should've probably posted in Hey Den section.

I never knew it tagged people... I thought it just let you know if someone went near it by detonating. Glad to hear that it does have a purpose.

Has a radius of about 7-10 metres. Explodes after about 5 seconds (deals a very low damage though, probably only like 15). Pulses every 1 sec approx, show direction as well as location.
I use them for a while but I found that the duration is far too short to be very useful.

Was hoping for a MW3 recon flash, but it's a far cry from it.
The "blackbird" effect (unless they changed it from my experiences in combat training) is basically more like the advanced UAV from MW3 in the sense that it periodically shows you the enemy's direction and location. If they're moving, such as on a frenetic map like Carrier, they really could be anywhere.
Either I'm using them wrong or they need a little bit of a buff.

It's nearly useless... But I'd rather it be that way than having a motion sensor that's just a portable UAV.

What counters this piece? I'll throw it right under the enemies and they won't show up on minimap.. So inconsistent.

Then again, maybe not - Cold-Blooded mainly prevents enemies looking through any kind of special sight from seeing you; it's not supposed to hide your presence on the radar. I've used EMP Grenades for a while, and will pick them up again, at least to complete the corresponding prestige challenge. What I would like to point out is that it does not seem to "track" people, it merely shows the position they were at when it scanned them. I would agree with Chicken Spy here that it scans several times, possibly once per second or so (maybe slower). I often find the enemy I tagged getting the jump on me because he moved away just a little bit while I was turning the corner, expecting him in a slightly different position.

Maybe I just got unlucky and faced many cold blooded users but that nade was so garbage when I used it. I'll try it out more later and see if I feel the same way again.

I like the idea of it, I think it's pretty cool and can be really useful in the way it shows the direction the enemy is facing, but in practice it just isn't worth a full point.
I was also hoping for the MW3 Recon flashbang effect... I think it just needs to last longer and maybe sweep a little bit faster

I started using this again after the buff but I still have mixed feelings for it. It annoys me that it won't sense through walls or floors like portable radar or motion sensor. If it only lasts 6 seconds, it should at the very least wallhack imo.
I originally wanted to combo it with C4 for dom flags but I haven't tried dom yet.
Edit: Nvm, just saw the new thread on this.
