Okay, if we look in this direction we get a nice and healthy 125 frames per second. (Limited ofc)

But when we look at a smoke grenade that's broken, we get a really shit 8 frames per second.

I lol'd.

EDIT: Because some people are, frankly, retards who can't read that this is a glitch, not a normal smoke grenade, I'll show you some more screens. Here is a normal smoke grenade.

And here is the glitch I'm experiencing

https://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa178/Funky_Finny/shot0069.jpg

No I'm not getting low frames because my hardware sucks, or because I'm using high graphics, as in the normal smoke grenade, you can see from afar I'm getting 125 fps. The second screenshot is a GLITCH of a stun grenade or flashbang. It, for some reason, puts out massive amounts of smoke that doesn't disperse, making an incredibly hard to render smoke screen. Look at the size of it, use the bomb or the AK for scale. It's not as big as a smoke grenade, it's very condensed.

It's a GLITCH. It's not my bad hardware giving me bad fps. (quite the oposite happens infact).

Try it with a stun grenade. It will feel like 8 fps, but is it really displaying 8 fps?

Tonight on mythbusters.

(ot, I've never had that experience, maybe it's your processor speed\gfx card?)

Nah what happens is instead of the smoke dispersing all over the map, it just goes in a little pocket. Because there's so much smoke in such a small area, it fills the screen if you're right infront if it. As you should know, smoke is dead hard for computers to draw, so when you take a whole smoke grenade, condense it into a small area, the hardware shits itself. Hence, 8 fps.

I used to play CoD2 with my friends over lan, and one of my friends had a terrible computer, so whenever he was playing we would throw all our smokes and he would get really pissed off.

Good times.

Aside from the smoke in BF2, I don't think there is a single MP game where the smoke screen doesn't cause epic lag.

Even on shit like CS a smoke causes the FPS to drop considerably, though nothing like that.

Yeah, this wasn't a normal smoke grenade though. The picture is deceiving, it's not as big as that. It's maybe the size of the blast radius of a grenade. I'll take more screens if I see another one.

When waiting on the ready up period for matches, me and my clan mates like to find a small corner and spam smoke grenades into it, to see who suffers the most.

Well somehow your cheapo budget card outperforms 4870's, so explain me that one.

It happened again

Twice in the same spot too. I think it's a stun/flashbang, not a smoke grenade. Very weird.
These pics should give you a better sense of scale.

Top is computer drawing frames in relation to server drawing frames, bottom is network.

I think.

Guys I have a new tactic. Ok so this is even MORE EFFECTIVE then stuns or flashes. When we know an enemy is in a building, just throw a smoke in and he'll CTD

Fuck, I remember doing this when the CS Beta was out. Back then, everyone had like 56k connections and absolute shit for graphics cards...and a single smoke grenade would pretty much ensure insane lag.

So if you were ever getting shot at or you saw a sniper, you'd lob a smoke.
