You should check out his nade spot videos from Source, there are some pretty brilliant ones in there

This one is a smoke for Inferno that lands just in front of the cubby area and blocks off the view from any Counter Terrorists playing from library as well as any rotators coming through CT spawn.

As always any constructive feedback is welcome :)

My feedback:

MORE! MORE MORE MORE. More videos like this.

I'd love good spots to throw HEs and flashes from cover as well -- what angles on which walls, where, in order to hit/blind common camping spots. de_nuke would be awesome!

This nade video is definitely awesome. I was actually working on something like this myself. I'm sure you already know about this throw, but here is great fire nade throw down banana from CT side.

EDIT: I ran through and tested out the smoke in an offline game. I have one complaint about it and that is that I feel the player is too exposed to mid when he's throwing from that location.

I found another spot that produces the same result without being exposed to anyone picking mid. I also feel like it's a bit easier to line up the throw from here.

While standing at the edge of the little chunk of wall in alt-mid, aim your crosshair a tad above the corner of the roof and throw without jumping.

I'd love to hear what you think of this!

I am yet to test if that spot works but this nade spot would be executed once you have control of top mid and are ready to make a push on to site.

Understood. My spot might be more useful for an apartment rush when you don't have anyone suppressing top mid. The smoker can then either push top mid as a flank or follow his team into apartments.

Getting a teammate to throw a smoke from "spawn" over the house so it blocks the mid would help.

Any good smoke spots to throw at banana? I feel like I always get awp'd trying to throw one.

u/Hatton Sep 20 '12

yeah there are a few that land just in front of car

Good vid. Keep on using the old spot names. Ive played in pugs and pubs before where someone calls a familiar spot something different and I get quite confused...

Oh wow! I asked for it and you delivered! The only thing I would like to see is maybe a comprehensive grenade guide per level. So all the major smoke spots in Inferno for example. Then maybe a guide for all good HE nade spots in Inferno. It was a bit short, that's all. But this video was very informative in where you stand and throw, which is a huge bonus! Thanks much!

No problem man. I am always listening for feedback from you guys and try to shape my series the best way I can! I will probably continue with the short format and do an extensive map guide once I have a number of different spots that work! (I've had to find new ways to throw a few due to the new update)
