Over all i think it would be really hard to balance the flash bang for the scale of combat on 127v127 servers replacing with a Sound Grenade i understand this may not be realistic but sound is really good right now and you can hear people coming from far away having Something that would greatly reduce the distance you can hear sounds maybe disable all sound for 4 to 8 seconds depending how close to the Grenade but with no flash bang effects this would also greatly reduced trolling by team flashing

you are just mad that i flashbang you and you cant kill me with your stupid pickaxe
anyway you get an upvote so it prevents me from team flashing Larry and getting banned again 💀

Its gonna have as much use as a decoy nade in csgo

Lets be honest flashbang is a not a good spot but simply removing team flash would cause the flashbang to be very op mostly due that in a lot of places if the flash is thrown right trophy systems will not stop them

decoy is good to make some noobs think you are not going to bananas on inferno, i thrown one towards A and no one covered b

Thats just false, antinades can very much destroy flashbangs
north tulip
no if thrown over them
you can basicly throw at a high angle so that they go off before hitting the ground
north tulip
these are not going be decoys these are ment to disable your sound
tiny wigeon
these are not going be decoys these are ment to disable your sound
so louder decoys?
north tulip
if it goes off near you it makes a loud noise and you can't hear sound for a short time
tiny wigeon
yeah so a decoy
tight peak
It really wont do much if im being honest
tiny wigeon
i can still shoot the person
north tulip
yes but you dont know where they are coming from
you could still win but it makes it harder
tight peak
Like i played a whole match without sound once, other than having mild issues predicting enemies it really isnt that bad
tiny wigeon
yes but you dont know where they are coming from
if i see where the decoy came from i can still kill you, also common sense
tight peak
If i can have little issue doing it the whole match, then being deaf for 5 secs is gonna be mildly annoying
north tulip
and what being blind for 5 seconds is not?
tiny wigeon
and what being blind for 5 seconds is not?
being blind for 5 seconds kills, being deaf is just an annoyance
infact you have both with a flashbang
tight peak
Yes
tiny wigeon
this is literally just a decoy
tight peak
Like being blind for 5 seconds and deaf is far worse than just being deaf
tiny wigeon
just make grenades deafening if you want to remove flashbangs so much

Cool way to leverage a different part of the gameplay. Seems like muting/reducing the sound isn't enough. What if it was like a sound hallucination grenade? Might be pretty hard to implement well, but instead of hearing what's around you, you hear sound from a different part of the map (or hear what the nearest enemy is hearing, etc). I dunno, popped into my head
