Opinions on M203 and GP-30.

[WeeeOooO]

...........Why is it a noob weapon?
Because it can kill you in one shot?
OH MY GOD! EVERY EXPLOSIVE IN THE GAME IS SUCH A NOOB WEAPON!!!1ONE11@!!

Grow up guys. Its put in the game, and it has its uses. Just give it a set length of time before it arms, give it splash damage, and no more blasting at 1m.

I don't mind it at all, it replaces grenades for that kit.

Grenade launcher has instant detonation, good for taking out that squad running at you, but you can't fire them at a wall and have them bounce around the cornor like grenades to kill the guy waiting for you to stick your head out.

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

Yeah, all other ideas are just dumb I must say.

Gotta be done like this, like 200m minimum.

[TGL|Badlizzard]

If they stopped people from being able to fire any weapon while jumping, things would be much better. Although this would be a problem for the long distance grenade throws. But all other weapons should be unable to fire while you are not on the ground, including parachuting. IMHO

why do people call it a noob weapon it takes skill to lob a 203/gp30 500m away and kill a guy.

I like it

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

I have crappy red crosshairs :nerr:
but they should take a few pointers from Americas Army... like the time delay on the 203 and so on...

If the assault class didnt have a grenade launcher NO ONE would play it. The only way assault can rack up big points is with grenade launcher. The shock paddles annoy me when they revive people, lets get rid of them !

I've gotten quite good at making contact with the grenade launcher at ranges up to 150m, and when the situation arises, I will put a nade at some guy's feet from a meter away, only because I can't switch to the pistol so quickly and my reactions take over. It doesn't bother me when some guy jumps around a corner and drops on right on top of me, since I'm able to do the same thing.

I believe that, in that "real" thing, it takes an M203 and a GP-30 about ten to twenty meters before the grenade is armed, and since BF2 kind of scales down distance, it would be armed at five meters. It's doubtful that it'll be changed from being able to blow up at point blank range.

If anything, a stand-off range of ten meters would be desireable for those that don't like the absolute close quarters grenades. But for the stand-off range, a larger blast radius, bigger than the measly one meter radius they have now, would be beneficial for the grenadiers who use the thing properly for the +50m ranges they were designed for.

yeah i have also an opinion.. damn where is the notice ... im sure i wrote it down somewhere .. sh**

[Daz]

I never really noticed it untill today. Im not crap, but the same guy M203'ed me like 6 or 7 times in that round, its dumb. I prefer grenades anyway as they dont expload on impact, so you can throw one at a wall to go round a corner, but they are usefull for long distances or taking out a sniper on a building of he claymored the ladder.

But other than that it makes the gun look ugly, and are really damn annoying when people cant shoot for **** and just hop around like frogs shooting grenades. I mean why not just go back in your ****ing APC you worthless ****faces.

[Pvt.Caboose]

well in real life the minimum saftey range is 130meters, soldiers are trained to not engage any target with a 203 that is within 130meters.

[badasafish]

I totally agree that lobbing a "noob" 100s of yards onto a guys forehead is very skillful. The problem i have is you have the grenade launcher out, aiming at a long range target and you hear a rustle behind you. Now you have the choice to try to change weapons and more than likely get killed, or instantly noob the guy 2 feet from you.

As someone previously said your reactions take over and of course you noob the guy, something will envoke the "noob" calls in the chat. As for jumping as you shoot at close range this is something i kinda subconciously do. In competitive play you have to use every advantage that you can get, so thats why you will see a lot of competitive players using the jumping and noob combo... something that to be awesome at definately takes skill

[Pvt.Caboose]

the thing that bugs me the most besides that is how they can jump roll and prone and their vision not be messed up the slightest, they should blur it and make your screen to a 180-360 also.

I think I quite clearly explained why and how it is a noob weapon...close range no self splash damage?

Try reading next time, it makes the responses people took time to type so much more meaningful.
