Re: 203 noob tubes

well..... maybe in the future the 203 wont have a timer before it arms, and they will have a smaller kill radius so that the marines can use it in close quarters?

Come on people if you dont like the gl in BF2, find a mod that does what you want and stop posting this crap on the forums. You are not the majority. I have no problem with it.

There are no MODS out you **** and it could be a while before any do come out . Useing nothing but the nade launchers is ****ing *** i dont give a **** what anyone says running around on a map useing nothing but the GL is bollocks. And its only on the citys maps this happens becouse on any normal map thats of a descent size its ****ing useless THATS why it needs to be changed ITS NOT a CQB weapon it should be usefull on all maps.

Re: 203 noob tubes

America's Army has nice evenly balanced 203's. They won't go off often at close ranges and if they do their radius is big enough to kill you aswell. I am so friggin sick and tired of these newb tubers too. Have they ever heard of bullets? Karkhand for instance is almost officially ruined for me because of those losers...

Look at your sig. Your saying that you support bunny hoppers.

Those ppl are notorious for 203 bull shit.

Re: 203 noob tubes

The assault is the class that is meant to be the strongest in infantry vs infantry fights. Just like the medic can heal people, the engineer can repair vehicles and the anti tank guys can blow up armor. It has a very powerfull abit limited infantry kill weapon. When you miss with it you're dead, when you are up against a squad you're dead too. The only people that seem to be complainig about these GL's are people who are on their own most of the time, try working together with a few teammates. An assault player might kill one of you but than the others can easily kill him and you can revive or be revived and move on.

You can't blame people for taking advantage of whatever weapons that EA/Dice have made available to us. It's like bunny-hoping, it's damn annoying but most people find that it keeps them alive longer so people do it.

I don't see the similarity. Using the grenade launcher as a weapon to kill players is what the devs put it in for. Bunnyhopping is not a feature the devs put in the game deliberately.

Re: 203 noob tubes

I'm definately tired of them being used a close range, very close range on some instances.

If they get you close range. You diserve to die, you probably would have anyways.

Re: 203 noob tubes

that sounds like a good idea, been suggested for many times now, but you can still kill a person from like a feet away and this time you wont die with them (peg them like in AA), noobs will find that even more useful. Not sure if thats a good thing or not.

The problem is. If you put a higher blast radius on this gun so it was more "realistic" the people using the gun would just shoot back a bit further so as to kill the oponent but not themselves, and then it would make the gun even more powerful at longer/medium ranges.

Re: 203 noob tubes

Yes it is cheap because realistly the grenade isn't exploding without impact, you would need a distance and then it would be fair. Like AA for instants

Re: 203 noob tubes

This folks is why i am a sniper! Because i seriously doubt any bunny hopping Shoot um in the feet noob tuber will get to me if he has to run fifty yards into M95 bullets and if he does that i doubt hes goint to get past the claymore!

Re: 203 noob tubes

In the real world theres no such thing as a noob tube. Every weapon goes.

On another note...

In the real world if you get hit with a .50 cal rifle it splits you in half. You surely won't walk away if your hit above the thigh :).

[SmilingRaccoon]

Re: 203 noob tubes

if it was real life you couldnt use them at close range due to safety. But since this is a game yea, its cheap as hell but ez to get around. Sure i slam my keyboard agaisnt the wall when i die by it or hurl my mouse into the tv making is explode and burning the rug but w/e just a game.

Re: 203 noob tubes

LMAO I agree. A easier way to put it is there no rules to war. Even if its online. This isn't the 1800's where you walk down a field face to face with your enemy. LOL...


I prefer C4 suicide kills.

Re: 203 noob tubes

well the one thing this game has in common with joint ops is the fact that there are a number of players out there who use the 203 all the time. they even use them when they are standing right in front of you. i cannot stand the 203. m203 or gp203 are what is called a noob tube and are only used by individuals who cannot kill someone by just shooting them with regular bullets. now i know how many of these players score so high or have many kills. you cant miss with a 203, kills someone with one shot, even when they are standing next to you. get rid of the 203, they are killing the game for many people.

WHAAANNN!!

Do you want a bottle, little baby.:cry:

I can't stand folks that complain but specific weapons in a game. Deal with it or play another game.

Re: 203 noob tubes

the 203 really reminds me of the AWP in cs - everyone complains about it, and I might get killed alot by it, but because I have never understood how to use it properly I don't have a problem with it

I mean honestly, so many people complain about stuff being too powerful when they don't and can't even use it themselves.

[T1no]

Re: 203 noob tubes

because if you fire a 203 in real life next to someone you are gonna die as well, instead of firing it nose to nose laughing then running off.

But comparing a game to real life is stupidity in itself.

It's not the 203 or the GP30 that pisses me off, it's the pricks that find they must use it at every and ALL opportunity. I play Karkand alot so this rears it's ugly head ALOT. Funnily enough it's usually the guys near the top of the scores who are doing it. So it's not just noobs ... infact it's a valid tatics just very very annoying, along with base camping tank whoring c4 cheapness and a few other things that get right on my tits in this game.

If you don't like it take a freaking break that's what I do, there is nothing you can do to change the game unless you are a modder .. then you have to get people to play your mod... while there is ranks and unlocks to be had by noobtoobing ... good luck on that one my friend.
