      I don't mind having grenade launchers as long as it's done right. One thing I do miss is the classic grenade launchers in Quake, where you just fire off a few rounds, let it bounce off the wall, and have it land right next to the guy sitting around the corner. It's that type of weapon that I'd like to see used so we can flush out spammers in the Titan corridors. But I digress...

      The rocket is fairly useful whenever I use it. It's particularly useful for picking out infantries who are already hunkered down (ie. a Support Ganz user). It's also useful for clearing out small ledges where you just need to hit the wall and let the splash damage do all the work for you. Since I practically suck at throwing grenades (one time I threw one and the throw wasn't strong enough. It landed near an explosive barrel and I TK'd 2 of my own guys), it's a semi-nice substitute for me... at least until I can get better at throwing grenades.

          when they made the GL in bf2 similar in power to real life all the whiners complained that they got killed by it too much and thus made DICE patch away the one awesome feature of the assault class in bf2. imho if you were to add the GL in bf2142 the same thing would happen. Leave the PKs as they are.

            So what caused all the whining? Was it the point blanking or the splash damage or what?

              I miss the GL of BF2. It was almost too easy to use :P

                The splash damage. In real life the GL on the m16 has a blast radius of around 50 ft. or something like that. Obviously DICE didn't make it THAT powerful, but it was powerful nonetheless. The real problem was jumping and shooting it, which DICE patched out later, but it had already been nerfed by a previous patch and DICE never brought back its awesome power. The assault class after that sucked imho.

                  Lol, I used to be a grenade launcher whore on BF2. After getting 2142 I was almost disappointed that they didn't have the Grenade Launcher attachment on their ARs. However, nowadays I definately prefer rockets.

                    How would you feel about this?

                    -Power of two and a half AR rockets
                    -Faster flight time
                    -Same splash as the AR rockets
                    -4 spare nades, 1 in gun for total of 5
                    -Minimum flight distance of 20 meters

                          Overpowered. Two rockets are enough to kill someone at full health. With faster flight time it means an even faster one hit kill. I don't know about you, but I think one hit kills should be less common. With rockets at least you can get hit by one and still have time to bust out your med kit and run for cover and since the flight time is somewhat long, the rockets are pretty much perfect as they are now.

                          If you thought nade spamming was bad now, I can only imagine how bad it would be if GLs were implemented. I'm a strong supporter of accuracy and firefights, less explosions the better, IMHO.

                            2.5*5=12.5
                            Right now you get 12 rockets default and 20 with the NS unlock.

                            Not a super fast flight speed, just a bit faster than it is now.

                                the fact is everyone whined about bf2 because they wanted realism

                                but in reality youd have the americans cruise missiling everything, bombing everything into the ground, nade launchers that kill masses of people etc etc

                                everyone hated the gl because people got it and just ramboed, theyd jump and fire usually killing themselves but meh
