Poor sportsmanship spreading?

Yup, was riding along in the US attack chopper on "Clean sweep", and was flying back home for a repair... But the 10 friendlys standing around just waiting for the attack chopper to spawn, thought that it would be better to put some C4 on us instead of using the 10 other vehicles allready spawned...

Well seeing how so many copies of BF2 got sold plus the many many servers that run 24/7 your chances of running into a SOB is 1-2 per server. NOOBS however thats about 10 per server LMAO

[ShadowWarrior18D]

yep you're correct

[BigBadBob]

why do people have a problem with granade launchers? It's an effective weapon. Hell yea, they are going to use it.

I agree that the splash should be increased, but don't make it less effective/powerful.

[Blackburn]

yes all games have a nade launcher that noobs just compleatly over kill and ruin the game with but BF2 its not so bad and i can normally take em out with the G3 befor they nade me. if you compear this game to "black hawk down" this game is so much skill friendly.

[j4k3]

if people are on a certain server and they see other players kill a bunch of other players using the 'nade launcher, chances are the next time they respawn they're going to do the same thing!

leave and choose another server.

Personally, I also hate tube-noobs, but they don't bother me that much. Just run like hell away from him, jump if you must and shoot in his ugly face while he's either trying to switch weapon or reload. I just hate them because they can't seem to use anything else. Makes them easy to kill, sometimes.

The M203 does need to be nerfed. A minimum arming distance would be good to have.

[StormRavn]

well yes the gernade launcher is a bish gun and its the only weapon of choice on maps like strike . which upsets me greatly cause strike is a awesome map i mean close quarters combat straight soldier power i mean thats were the true fun is.. however i wish the gernades would be like in americas army they dont exlode on contact they are delaid/primed .

however these guns need serious help in accuarcy and power dmg.

1 sniper rifle needs a zoomable scope point blank and the accuracy i can spit and be more accuarate

2 gernade launcher the gernades need to be on a 3 second dely or they just need to be toned down cause in strike just smoke the wall with a gernade and it kills the nearest 10 people.

[BigBadBob]

I use them a lot, but not constantly. I will sit somewhere and wait till i see an enemy and try to get him. If i don't, hell, i'll pull my rifle or pistol out and take him.

What i'm saying is, if it's at a longer range, i'll see if i can get them with the launcher. Beats shooting and being discovered.

[MIKEHUNT-UK]

Just get the engineers spanner out and tweak their nipples off.

Mind you, the grenade launcher was my first choice weapon when I started playing BF2 but now I’ve grown out of it!

The easiest fix for the grenade launcher is simple. Make it like the real life M203. The M203 grenade does not arm itself until it does a certain amount of rotations after it has been fired. This was implemented to avoid mass damage during an accidental discharge of the weapon. So when an M203 is fired, the grenade is basically inert until it travels about 20ft. The killing radius of a 40mm grenade is about 15ft. So increase the splash damage, and make it ineffective at ranges closer than 20 ft. This should fix the noob cannon epidemic.

[shriven]

theres always gonna be the same level of idiocy...people look at privates in the server and label them a noob cause they don't have any stripes... it doesn't matter if the players are new or not... just because someones a private doesn't mean they suck... theres no global stats for every FPS you've ever played, just cause someones a private doesn't mean they haven't been playing FPS's for 10 years lol. I've been playing FPS's now for like 13 years... if there was a CLEP test for BF2 I probably have all those freaking medals rofl.

When I was new in BF2, I could still own people just from playing other FPS's... sure I ran over a friendly mine ONCE and learned from it, now i don't do it... some people don't learn and they're just dumb.. and they'll always be dumb, and they don't care.. and they float from game to game, being dumb, because they're too dumb to realize they're dumb... and theres always gonna be a lot of those people...It's just what you have to put up with playing on public servers. unless you wanna pay 100+ dollars a month for a server so you can kick out tards.

who the hell would shoot it that close to them? It's a medium range weapon.

When i say medium, i mean something like 50ft or so.

Hell, at 20ft, i can throw a rock and kill someone, don't need to bring explosives into the mix.
