Opinions on M203 and GP-30.

[SnuFFeh]

Hey, quite new to these forums, but was wondering what everyones opinions are on the rifle mounted grenade launchers...

Do you think they should have a time delay? Or should each player have only one, so they cant go crazy on karkand repeatedly blowing everyone up? Should there be a delay in the time you click 'till the time the grenade fires? (Forgotten Hope BF1942 style).

Personally, they annoy the hell out of me. Im sure they'll never be removed from the game, but the way people plop one at your feet at point blank range in under a second of seeing you, and not taking any damage themselves makes me want to put my foot through my monitor.

So yeah, thoughts?

I love it and I hate it. It's so easy to rack up kills with it and it's also easy to die to it :laugh: A possible balance fix could be to remove the hud crosshair and force players to use the GL ironsight to fire, that way you wouldn't have those quake players doing the rocket jumping dance.

I like ^^^^^^'s idea.

Or Make them bounce and give a small delay.

i remember when the first video of bf2 came out it was that city map where the f15 dropped a bomb on the tank cant remember the name, i remmeber seein an assault guy use ironsites when heshot the 203 not these crappy yellow crosshairs

Ahyeah, brings back memories. I remember this too. Its a good idea really, the yellow range thing is wayy too advantagous (sp?) in my opinion.

Make it so the grenade doesn't arm for x meters. Like Americas Army.

I just find it funny you can pwn someone with the noobcannon from 2 feet away, yet walk away alive.

another idea that's been brought up before is increase the splash damage so u cant pwn from 2 feet away

It won't stop those who use it, if they think they can get a kill they will go for it no matter what.

Yup that what I think they should do.

I think its a great weapon. Its extremely versitle. I generally use it when I come into an area where theres likely to be a group of opponants together in the same area. Its good to take out a grouped squad or renegades. I dont have it out if Im doing anything in the open or when going around the corner. Every weapon has their advantages and disadvantages. You wouldnt use a gren launcher at a long distance just as you wouldnt use a handgun for long range.

Im used to using explosive weapons from 1 on 1 tourney style games where theyre an intricate element of the game but also have their disadvantages as well. Id say its more a matter of tactic adaptation than it is tweeking gameplay. Was the same with BH whoring =)

I really have no problem with it.

[(BG)Patton]

ive gotten pretty skilled with it and ive killed people from great ranges. therefore many people call me a noob, but it honestly takes skill to lob them a long range.

[abtomat74]

Used by unskilled idiots.

Especially the ones that jump right before launching it into your face from 3 feet away...and somehow survive(them).

Utter and complete noob weapon.

The guy who uses it on a vehicle however, or from a great distance...uses it properly. Exploiting the fact that the guy launching it survives from point blank splash damage...is totally lame.
