    I think they should keep the bouncing and reduced splash radius and just make it fire as fast as it used to.

      GL is fine the way it is. If your pissed that you shot a gl at someone's feet and they didn't die then get some skill. How close were you when you fired that shot?

      You can make plenty of kills with the GL, however if your too close the gl will bounce. That is pretty obvious.

      I get so fed up with players whining about how the game is unbalanced, so they get IO and they are whining about spammers and gl users. It's time to quit whining about how the game is unfair, or how you tragically died and get some skills. EA will not be releasing anymore patches.
      ADAPT YOUR GAME.

        I am a Noob Tuber to the max. I am asault with a 2000 95% of the time.
        Love the thing. When I am running around. It is the first thing I fire every time. 100 meter or more it is very difficult to get a hit. Dosn't mean I don't send my first salvo as a GL. Then I switch to get the long kill with the gun.
        Very good close range weapon. You guys are right. You must bound it off something. Up close I usually try and hit the ground and bounce it into the enemy. If they are by a wall. I will hit the wall first.
        Very fun weapon. I get alot of "NooB Tube" replies.
        But hey. They are calling me a noob tube'er when they are dead and I am still running the the next victim.
        Who's the noob?
        It's all about kills with the assault class. Not other bonus point short of the flag caps.
        So killin is the best way to get a good score.

        Hopefully some time I will show you all how it works.

        Here Catch!

              The funnest thing is Jalalabad IO and doing Drop-Shots (Americas Army term for aiming up and letting it drop on the enemy) and getting lucky

              I got a kill on my very first drop-shot attempt

                the game isn't balanced in the least with vechicles either

                  and to think people bitched when they nerfed it way back then.

                  If anything, the bounce off walls thing needs to be removed.

                    Atleast I dont cry and run to DICE to nerf the game...it is not hard to take out a tank with C4 or rocket. It is not hard to fly, a little time can keep the jets busy chasing other jets. This is why DICE made different badges, and different kits, so people can get to know the game as a whole.

                      The gl only bounces if your too close to a target.

                        I died today because the GL went off at my feet today after I shot it. Killed the enemy and myself. Don't know why everyone is complaining. It is a great weapon. At this point, I am getting tired of all the whining about weapons. Stop it, just stop it!

                        Learn to play better. Suck it up and get faster with your reflexes...or just grow up, or grow a pair. Leave the grenades alone, leave the GL alone...just stop it!

                          love the thing, from the top ofthe palace at warlord i managed to land a fluke shot and kill a guy who was at palace security.

                          on kakr managed to nail 3 in 1 down a small alley way.

                          the best technique doesn't get Gl kills but will damage all those enmes so that you just have to spray a bit with the AR to finish them off.

                          as for its anti- light vehicles role, it sucks @ss big time

                            Really, it is about splash damage on the enemy and clean up with the AK. That is all the GL is about! You can normally kill 4 guys without getting any damage with that kind of follow through.

                              My most memorable shot was playing on Sharqui. I was on top of the TV tower and there was a guy running along side the hotel down by the water. I dropped it right at his feet from way over there on the first shot. I laughed.

                                Yeah, sometimes it acts like a musket where the projectile veers off a bit. Does the GL not have rifling or something?
