Grenade launcher on assault rifle

[imported_Peter]

Hi folks!

To be honest I use G3 almost always when I play assault simply because it have not grenade launcher. So far I prefer old fashion-way grenades.

Could someone here... write something like "Grenade launcher instruction for dummies"

Because I heard that it is very good weapon but so far I found grenades much more usable and efective (at least I can see where they flies and I can change throwing force)

P.S.
Please skip instructions like: "1. Aim. 2. Shoot. 3. Count kills" :P

Re: Grenade launcher on assault rifle

The GL as it currently stands is not very effective - not really worth learning tbh

Agreed ..., stick with your G0d weapon G3 i dont miss the GL at all after using this gun.

Re: Grenade launcher on assault rifle

i wouldve tried to help you Peter back when the GL was a decent weapon, but a few patches back they altered it to make it much harder to kill at close range. now its only effective from short to medium range, and even then its still a bit iffy. man i miss the days when i used to own with the GL... *sighs*

Allow someone who was not a Noobtuber to add a few comments.

The GL is an excellent weapon at medium and long range - you just have to know how to hit your target. The previous posters seem to be lamenting the fact that they can no longer fire it at their feet and get a kill - i.e. noobtubers.

The only advice I can give you is practice and use the sights. You just have to get the feel for it and within a round or two you'll easily be able to hit moving targets at extreme range or take out light vehicles in one shot.

It's especially deadly from above so try climbing a few ladders or using your grappling hook (if you have SF).

******** - you have no idea what you are talking about
the gl right now
1. Doesnt land on the crosshairs on longer range shots
2. Bounces unpredictably
3. Has less splash damage than the AT rocket and is useless now at its intended purpose (anti light vehicle)
My view as a long time Assault class player and guilty of noobtubing just once(i still feel bad about it lol), is that mastering the G3 is far more worthwhile than learning to use the GL now in its present weak and undynamic state

When did it ever do that at longer range???
You obviously never used it at longer ranges if you think that's how it works.

2. Bounces unpredictably

It's a cylindrical object not a ball. (I know..that game probably doesn't account for that but it's such a silly complaint that it's all I can come up with)

3. Has less splash damage than the AT rocket and is useless now at its intended purpose (anti light vehicle)

Once again I was stated by DICE/EA from the very beginning that the primary reason for including the GL was to assist the assault class with defending against light and med armor. It's meant for direct hit on a vehicle.

who are you?

what the hell does that mean - the gl deviates up to a metre at less than 20m ranges - try it some time

Irrelevant - the problem is sometimes it will bounce sometimes it won't, unpredictable

What I said. Only problem is that even at long range the gl will bounce off a vehicle rather than detonate and its reduced splash damage means that while before a Humvee would have been in trouble from a direct hit - now it bearly does half damage if it even detonates

Re: Grenade launcher on assault rifle

This is the best i can do on such short notice. It's not all about techniques using the grenade launcher, but more of the assault class as a whole. And there is a lot of technichal stuff there, if you're interested (like me).

I do prefer (like you) to use the G3 when im playing assault. It has nothing to do with the grenade launcher at all (im pretty competent with it, but i do prefer an ordinary good rifle) but the fact that im deeply in love with the wonderful G3.

Re: Grenade launcher on assault rifle

50 percent of nades bounce now and they don't insta-kill jeeps

therefore, its geh

[The_Misfit]

Re: Grenade launcher on assault rifle

With 4K+ kills by GL, I can say the damn things DO bounce, and at distances greater than the 'arming range'.

I've fired them at STATIONARY jeeps 20m+ and watched the nade bounce off the side and blow up 3m away from where I intended it ti land. Also, takes 3 hits to take out a HUMVEE/Vodnik now.

I still use it, though not as much as before. Big thing is getting used to the range, and aiming high in order to hit targets at distance. Gone are the days of getting insta-kills at distance, but I can usually follow a nade shot up with a few rounds from the gun and get the kills...

Re: Grenade launcher on assault rifle

Before the latest patches M203, GP-30 were god...now they are garbage. I used to use the grenade launcher attachments all the time. No not being a lame toober and just blasting at my feet to kill people, but at a distance, like what it was designed for. Now, You basically have to hit someone dead on to kill them at at least 15 meters. Now the only thing they are good for really are giving bruises, and lightly softening targets for you to finish off with your rifle or pistol. Great job by all the whiners who got it "adjusted"=ruined i mean. Even with all the "t00bers" running around it wasnt a problem, only if you were stupid, and doing the same thing, thats what it all came from, people getting killed by others with the attachments at close range.

Stick with your G3 and hand grenades, you will be much more satisfied.

Re: Grenade launcher on assault rifle

does anyone notice a diff between the bounce from the standard GL's and the f2000?
