Is that actually true that the grenades explode when you die? I think I managed it already to kill someone who grenaded me without the grenades exploding. Maybe it depends on how you kill the enemy, in example with a lot more damage than needed, or with a headshot or non-explosive weapon?

Perhaps you had extra health and armour on you and you survived the explosion or you were playing on one of the maps featuring the EONS Grenade Launcher that fires grenades which I think persist even after you die (MinusTMU-NightWolf-RC7 is one such map). And I say "I think" because figuring out what that weap does and how exactly it behaves is a guessing exercise left entirely up to the player since it's NOT DOCUMENTED AT ALL, ANYWHERE. See a problem here? Instead of focusing on redundantly informing players about matters of common knowledge (or found in the game's manual), the auto-messages could provide more information about gear and mutators that are specific to TechCom (what does the EONS.gren.launcher or the EMP.launcher do? what are the coloured dots on the node teleport menu? why can't I change team whenever I want? why do some ppl have such high score even though their kills don't account for it? why do matches sometimes last 1 round and others 2? etc.). Also, since Crusha mentioned this today on some other thread, a quick note about the official and preferred written language on server chat could be mentioned somewhere there as well - let's say, oh, I dunno, english?

Btw,

It seems to me that you are trying to write an instruction booklet made up of ramdom sentences.
Not poetic or random enough for me, sir. I say they should be written in haiku form!

I somewhere read that the EONS-Grenade-Launcher should stall the engine of the affected vehicle somehow, but I never really saw such a thing. The rest that is left is just a very fast grenade-launcher.
