Hey fellas I don't know what is going on here. You see on some servers when I launch the grenade from the Assault gun on a hummer for example, it explodes on impact. On other servers it bounces off a hummer. Isn't it supposed to explose on impact? Also there seems to be a delay when killing an infantry. For example, the you have a direct hit but the guy jumps in the air a split second later.

Re: Shooting grenades from ASSAULT gun
yes, in real life the grenade is suppose to explode on impact, but noobs asked for the launcher to be nerfed and now its pretty useless. i hardly see anyone play the assault class anymore. the oen thing that made the assault class useful was nerfed and in the process nerfed the assault class so its useless. now everyone uses the medic class instead.Originally posted by sammytheman -
Re: Shooting grenades from ASSAULT gun
alot of poeple asked that granade launchers dont explode on short distances. apparantely that was lost in translation and dice made it so instead of having a minimum explode distance, it is a minimum explode timer. so you can launch a nade at a wall, and it will come abck to kill you. Oh and noob tubing at close range is still possible because its a timerComment

Re: Shooting grenades from ASSAULT gun
IRL the M203's grenade has a fuze that's only armed after approx 14 meters of flight. It's a centrifugal "timer" that counts off a certain number of rotations. In that time the grenade travels approx 14 meters. This prevents people blowing themselves up, and would prevent the sort of grenade whoreage seen in BF2.Originally posted by ThIrD-EyE
Why they went with a time I have NO idea, but it's slightly better than the point blank instagib rifle it used to be.

Re: Shooting grenades from ASSAULT gun
Not really, I use this class often. They may have nerfed the grenade launcher, But the rifle f2000 w/ flashbangs make me still use this class.Originally posted by ThIrD-EyEComment

Re: Shooting grenades from ASSAULT gun
The GL is totally useless due to its little splash radius. I've seen a support guy took a direct hit from a GL and had like 1/10 health left.Comment

Re: Shooting grenades from ASSAULT gun
I started playing the Assault class at the end of last year, and then when I came back to BF2 after a 6-month sabbatical, it was quite disappointing that one of the two main features of the Assault class had been nerfed to near-pointlessness.
The smoke grenade is thankfully still useful, but I'm relegated to relying on the G3A3 instead of the rifle/GL combo. The GL is still sometimes useful, but it has lost its character. I don't mind the distance-nerf too much, but I wish DICE will compensate for the nerf with increase splash damage/radius.Comment

Re: Shooting grenades from ASSAULT gun
180+ hrs as assault, top 1000 global w/GL, and this is the one thing about the whole GL nerf that I hate.
I can deal with the changes in respect to 'noob tubing' or dealing with Infantry, but coming around a corner, blasting a GL at an oncoming Jeep, and watching it bounce off (from distances of 30-50' or more) is very frustrating, especially when said Jeep then runs me over lol. They seem to have rubber casings when it comes to vehicles, but you can put one into the turret area of a tank from 10' and watch it explode (and create an angry tank).
Would love to see the weapon have better anti-vehicle properties.....Comment

Re: Shooting grenades from ASSAULT gun
there are some vids on youtube showing how to make a grenade bounce off the wall or make it explode on impact. i think certain angles to aim at are the trick.Comment

Re: Shooting grenades from ASSAULT gun
u must admit...the nade luanchers needed to be nerfed...u just run into a room, boom ur dead and u dont even hear a shot or anything...u see a person right in front of u and boom ur dead...and even if he shot the nade right next to him, hes still alive...ive tried this technique and i was just racking up massive kills with the m203...so yeah it needed to be nerfed a bitComment

Re: Shooting grenades from ASSAULT gun
The nade launcher is better now because there is no whorage. Even if it is almost useless, if you have real skill, it is easy to get a shot on someone. If you aim right at them, it will kill them usually. Before 1.2, GLs were used by so many noobs because they just fired away in the general vicinity of the enemy and killed them.
But they are fairly pointless because you need to hit the enemy within like 2 feet to kill them.Comment
