SEMTEX VS. FRAG

I'd prefer to choose semtex, but they have this annoying tendency to stick to random lamp posts or door jams and you're more often than not going to end up killing either yourself or a fellow teammate if your aim is slightly off. If the pre-game lobby sets up a long-range map I normally switch to a frag grenade just so I can pull off a long-distance 'nade kill if need be.

well with the semtex u can stic k it to your enemy and they are screwed and with frag just cook it a lil then toss it and should give good results but it also depends on the map. i prefer both on 2 diffrent classes.

That's tough because I used nothing but the semtex in MW3 but now I see the advantages of being able to bank a frag off a wall or have it roll off when it lands on a roof.

Semtex is good for line-of-sight(LOS) throws or sticking to a wall to kill or wound. Frags are more useful for deadspace(the area blocked from your veiw), you can also "cook" it, making for a more precise toss or reduce the enmies reaction time to the grenade. Plus it makes for a great kill-cam if you hold onto it until it explodes while standing next OPFOR.

Depends on your play type if you just lob your grenades frags are best but if you like precision the your best bet is semtex for that deadly stick

I consider the frag a little more versitile than semtex. By cooking it you can, in theory, have it explode where and when you want, or you can just pull the pin and throw for a kill at a further distance. The semtex is a bit limited, when making contact with any solid surface it will detonate soon thereafter. Leaving little margin for error, however as stated previously, this is its greatest strength as well.
