I hate how...

I always get so much vert off of explosives, seemingly regardless of what angle I am to the explosion.

It's like any time I try to do a horizontal rocket jump, to gain speed and cover distance faster, it pops me up in the air no matter how high on the wall I put my rocket. I feel the same way with grenades too.

It's as if explosives always have a bit of vertical knock back instead of just magnifying your current velocity in relationship to the angle of the explosive.

What's up with that?

When you HH the grenade goes off inside you, and around thigh level which sends you up. As for like RJing and drop concs I don't see why they thrust you so far vertical as it should mostly be horizontal if its a level surface.

I was assuming, or rather wishing, that the nade was held more around the middle of the body. Would be nice.

You could start a cooking pot with a rocket then add some super shotty pepper on all those delicious red scouts. Dinner served cake-style.
