    Re: Battlefield M203

    Simple solution, put in splash damage that will damage the shooter and the noobtube goobers will have to find another easy-mode.

      The problem with the m203/GP-30 as far as I can see is not the nade itself, but much more how it is used on point blank range without damaging yourself.
      It's a perfectly legitimate weapon otherwise that gives the assault class the power it needs over other classes as stated in a previous post.
      The same thing counts for the Eryx/SRAW - They should implement a bigger splash radius, but only affecting friendlies (like yourself for example). Otherwise it would be too easy to waste enemies close to each other.

      Is it just my impression, or do hand grenades have a much bigger damage radius than GP-30/SRAW?
      I usually do a full dolphin dive away from the handgrenade but yet I get injured pretty bad most of the time.
      A nade out of the tube, however, doesn't seem to cause as much splash damage, or the radius in which it is effective is much smaller.

Common sense says if you can take out 4-5 guys right off the bat with 1 pull of the trigger for each, you do it.

        ...

        Please, make sure to start a thread whining about the pistol when someone pwns you with it. ffs, play the game and quit the complaining...there's a way around damn near everything...
        I said they were all within 100 meters, hardly a "range". Also, I said they were spaced out, as in one grenade would only kill one. And it was no secret where he was, since we could all see him pop out and leave a nice white arc pointing to his location.

        I never once whined - in fact, I made it a point to say I was not whining. I was just bewildered. And I am well aware there's a way around damn near everything. I told you we killed him. He didn't get a single one of us.

          203s and gp 30s are the most skillless handheld weapon in the game, many people that plain suck can rack up kills by jumping and using they crappy aim and still get a person pointblank then start humping them. I love using the 203 when I get annoyed at spawn campers or whatnot because no matter how bad Im playing or how drunk I am, I always get a positive K/D (so long as I havent gone into random yelling and complete lose of all motor skills).

            Why is every weapon in the game that makes it easier to kill or capture flags than other methods referred to as 'whoring'? It's option A or option B. I see that these methods are usually referred to as 'whoring' by people who can't adapt to removing the threat. :)

            If I suck at sniping, is everyone else a 'sniper whore'??

              Seriously, Battlefield 2 has the wrong title. Battlefield M203 seems more appropriate to describe what it's like to play against the USMC.

              Sometimes I wonder whether people use the M203 launcher more than the damn gun!

              cause m203 works better?

                Ok, jus give it a damn arming range, like 50 meters (real life it's 100 meters, but that's like from one flag to another in Karkand, so i'm being generous) because then no more noob launcheres in the corners of Karkand. And a GL in real life is like a makeshift mortar sometimes, and also, it's used to kill people behind sandbags, or people inside buildings, not to bunnyhop and aim at their feet and kill, in real life, it would bounce off the ground, because it hasn't armed yet.

                    Um, you got it mixed up, that's for a hand grenade, you pull the pin restricting the lever from hitting the trigger, it was a safty measure, you could pull out the pin in a nade while holding it in your hand nd it wouldn't detonate until it left your hand.

                        But thats not true at all. It's only a cheap weapon when used at such close ranges. Heck make it so it has to go at least 15m and you will see a huge decrease in accuracy for most players. The thing doesnt have a good reticle and for the most part it is guess and check for people that haven't developed or learned how to properly aim. I agree that the GL is the weapon that gives the assault the edge in combat, but it is just way too powerful. I dont mind the fact that it kills in one shot, the shotgun does and so does a sniper rifle (in the hands of a competent soldier). But the main difference between the other two are they have some sort of weakness to balance them out. A shotgun is useless at medium/long range. A sniper rifle is hard to use at close range. A GL however can be used at close, medium, or long range with little ill effect. Honestly I'm at the point where I just dont care anymore, half the community thinks it sucks, the other half thinks it is the greatest thing ever. EA doesnt have any plans to look into this anytime soon, just like they dont have plans on looking into the bunnyhoppers any time soon.

                        Theres my thoughts, and now Im leaving this post to die out.

                          On my newest account I use the assault class almost exclusively, and I use it right. I use my rifle until I see an infantry that looks like he's vulnerable and he will get the nade launcher. Also, when I kill someome and that medic comes running.. that's always fun.

                            Hey good idea!

                            Increase the splash damage so we can get more people using it because I don't think enough people do!

                            Hey while we are at it lets put a nuclear missile on the end and give it the ability to shoot into other servers!
                            </sarcasm>

                            Lol,

                            If you choose to use it thats your choice, and I don't blame you because it is easy to kill people with it. But on 98% of times the person with it usually takes a shot in the face from my m95 before they can shoot me with it.

                            The only bad thing about it is close range how it only kills the person being shot with it.

                            The end result = Just get rid of it.

                            Armour whoring is far worse on Karkand IMO

                                I love the "noob tube" myself, but seriously, you have to give SOME advantage to the assault class besides that pos smoke grenade. though I would love to see splash damage increased so I can get more distance kills and getting that guy around the corner or on top of the building :p the small splash damage cuts both ways
                                I get lots of long distance kills, most of my kills with it are 20 mters +, I had one shot kills on moving targets at over 80 meters with the grenade laucher, but I do think if a minimum range on it is put in the splash damage should be increased.
                                My main problem with it is the fact that 50% of the time direct headshots with the grenade laucher dont kill!
