I don't know if any of you have found this out yet, but I have made a startling discovering involving Last Stand and Special Grenades.
You can hold any kind of special grenade as long as you want. If you are holding one while brought into Last Stand, it turns into a frag grenade, which, depending on how long you held it, will almost immediately explode upon entering Last Stand, providing a great way for the prepared troll to get some unexpected kills. I find this hilarious.
Using a silenced G3(for some delayed knife kills), 3 x Stun Grenade, Sonic Boom, and Last Stand, I've actually done pretty well for my self exclusively using this strategy. Often, it can be tricky to let go of the grenade at just the right moment to throw it at your killer. Getting downed by someone more than 7 or 8 feet away can make it almost impossible to kill them. The plus side however, is that you almost always kill your self with you own grenade, robbing them of any kills. Another problem is that if someone downs you and shoots you again immediately, you'll have no chance to throw your grenade and they'll get an easy kill.
It seems like the less time you hold your special grenade, the longer the fuse on the frag grenade is, meaning if you pull it out right before you're killed, you can have a longer fuse, and therefore longer range. Use this to your advantage if you are being shot at. Try arcing your aim a little bit before falling into Last Stand to give your grenade more range and accuracy.
However, I would not suggest doing this for fun unless you don't give a hoot about your kill to death ratio. This method obviously involves dying a lot and I often finish games with a ratio below 0.5. The best you could hope for is going completely even, unless you can get some miracle multi-kills more than once a game. Even then, on many maps it's almost impossible to consistently get killed by someone close by. Maps like Overgrown, Strike, and Creek have way too many snipers and open spaces, and it's best to try on different maps.
I hope this can bring you some laughs, or at least some variety for people who are getting bored of being stuck at 55 or just level grinding.
