All I see on the server anymore is "The bomb was nerfed!? I couldn't even get 1 kill with it in the first place!". I also see countless threads crying about how the bomb should be un-nerfed and that no one can get a kill with it. Although, while I'm playing I see a lot of people getting 3 kills with one bomb. All it takes is to wait for the perfect time to run up and get them. You should be able to get at least 1 kill with the bomb if you aren't a derp.
Un-Nerfing the Bomb!
The bomb doesn't need un-nerfed. The bomb is perfect as it is in my opinion. You just have to know the range of it and when the best time to set it off is. I did have problems with the bomb when I first started playing jailbreak, but you will soon get used to the way the bomb is and will be able to constantly gather 2 or 3 people kills with one bomb.
Range of the Bomb
The range of the bomb is about from the solitary to the sauna for a lethal blast if you stood in the middle between them, but will probably reach as far as the farthest leg of fountain for them to get hurt. Also, the bomb range and damage is also altered by your rep! So the bomb will get better the longer you're playing the server. Keep in mind that the further away they are, the less damage it does. I like to think of the bombs range as about two or three times the range of a frag grenade in frag wars.
Proof the Bomb can do Damage!
The round before this picture was taken, two people got 3 kills each. Although I wasn't able to capture the other ones, this one happened when all the T's got into the knife arena, and most of the CT's that were alive were standing next to or close to the button. I guess they didn't think someone had a bomb
So I guess what I'm trying to prove here is that everyone needs to just figure out the range of the bomb, and quit crying over how "un-powerful" it is. There could be no bomb in the first place.
**Yes, I realise that teamspeak makes it hard to see who got killed, but you can still make out how many people died from it
