Problems with gernade launchers

[Super Six Three]

this was said on a server that the problems with gernade launcher is that the US side always use it at a Close Quarters Battle with MECs and PLAs why qould anyone use GLs for CQB?

[PteConlon]

They wouldn't. The m203 in this game is sooooo unrealistic. The m203 has an Activation range in real life, I was a grenadier back before I became a LAV gunner, and I can say shooting a target from 10 m away is impossible, and even if there was no activation range, you would get yourself killed.

i nearly always end up on mec/pla because little jonny has to be american...

anyway i run around knifing people a lot and its really funny when you run up to these guys and they start bunny hopping and shooting their feet with grenade launchers "OH NO A KNIFE I BETTER SHOOT MY FEET - THAT'LL SHOW HIM - HAHA PWNED HAHA"

soooooooo many people use almost exclusively the m203 in CQB, usually while bunny hopping. i think its because they lack the skill to AIM and shoot someone or - shock horror - knife fight someone.

Yup I'll agree with the m203 noob comment.

Seriously, they really need to fix this. I always run around with the Mec 203/AK combo, and it can't be beat! well, it can but its incredibly cheap.

They need to have an activation range, even if it is a simple 30m or something just to cut down on this, and that is coming from someone who LOOOOVES running around killing people from 5 feet away.

agree

noooooooooo, not my grenade launcher. It's the only thing i have to live for!

Seriously, it's only used by many on infantry maps.

I don't see people complaing about throwing a grenade on one side of a tin fence, and standing on the other side when it explodes and not taking damage.

If people decide to cheese it up with the noobcannon, I fight cheese with cheese. But I use the rocket launcher. :nerr:

For some reason I get great satisfaction shooting people in the face with the rocket launchers.

The BFV M203 was nice. I found it to be the right balance. One thing I can say about BFV is they seemed to get the weapons just right (after the first patch which tweaked the M60).

[silG]

whoa yeah that m60 after retail whored all the kills

True...RL arming distance for 40mm is 14-28 meters. A 40mm fired within that range is nothing more that a 40mm bullet.

I would use the grenade launcher in CQC when I had more than one enemy shooting at me. If they were grouped together as they often are, why not fire a grenade into the middle of them ?

If you plan on simply shooting them one after another, chances are you'll be dead after at least the first two kills.

This is an arcade game, with just a small hit of realism for all those rivet counters out there.
