I don't think they should be removed, but maybe restrict them somewhat.

I agree with Teleporno, perhaps a limit/player (that'll be 1 then) OR, I don't know if that's possible, make them a part of FF (when a CT/T throws 1, other CT's/T's will not be blinded...). I think it's the teamflashing that bothers the more experienced players.

Yeah restrict them see what everyones feed back is, its only annoying when theres over 40 people, and all you can hear and see is "fire in the hole"

i dont hear the fire in the hole thing but the simultaneous shouts of 20 odd CT's made me bind a key to shut it off.

I voted YES, although they are a great offensive tool, there are too many tools trying to use them. I teamflashed Tartan the other night, he was not pleased and i was careful. players just dont watch the radar and are a little too flash happy. give it a go without them for a few rounds, lets be honest it wont stop the Terrorists from campin in their spawn

If you ban flashbangs then the offensive team will camp even more as an assault on any of the bombsites/hostages will be too difficult

Voted no, its a silly idea. you should just remove afew player slots tbh because atm its stupid :S

I think restrictions work better, because banning/removing flashbangs will not do any good, except stop u from being flashed which is nice in one way but if you think that flashes are the greatest offensive tool in the game and theyd be banned there would be no more ramboing

I don't remember Rambo ever using flashbangs

But yeah, no flashbangs = no rushing

Don't do anything to flashbangs ! I'm sure you can disable the fire in the hole sound somewhere if it does your head in. They serve a purpose and I think the game would be the poorer without them

NO
I didnt vote but it looks like I did lol.
Anyway my vote is NO. Flash is neccessery in CSS. Maybe restrict to 1 player 1 flash

Lets just get rid of "Fire in the whole" hearing that 80 times a rd is a little annoting.

Maybe annoying, but that way no way to even try to avoid flashes unless warned through mic.

I voted yes, but I think I change my mind. Maybe no team flashing would help.
