Re: M203....

here -- some interesting facts:

Launcher: 3 pounds (1.36 kilograms)
Rifle (M16A2): 8.79 pounds (3.99 kg)
Total (including 30 rounds): 11.79 pounds (5.35 kg)
Bore diameter: 40mm
Maximum effective range:
Area target: 1148.35 feet (350 meters)
Point target: 492.15 feet (150 meters)
Maximum range: 1312.4 feet (400 meters)
Minimum safe range:
Training: 426.53 feet (130 meters)
Combat: 101.71 feet (31 meters)
Unit Replacement Cost: $601 USD (2005)
Note: some data differs for version that attaches to M4 Carbine

look at the minimum safe range -- big difference from what we see in bf2

Yeah I know, there should be a minimum of 10 meters for the grenades to arm itself. Because as this is a game, then people don't care for "saftey"...

Re: M203....

True the M203 isn't realistic because you can shoot someone 2 meters away and not kill yourself. But neither is the rest of the game. Since when does it take 2-3 3 round bursts from an M-16 to take someone down? The M249 is so unrealistic it's pathetic. When I was in the army, that was my main gun. I hit every single 300 meter target at qualifing with 2-3 round bursts. Here you can barely hit the wall. So can everyone please stop the "unrealistic" bullcrap and instead just play the damn game? Just like that one guy said, if you took away the nade launcher, how effective would the assualt class be? They'd be pointless. Weak and inaccurate weapon with no way to "assualt" the enemy.

Re: M203....

walk within 2-3 meters of your enemy and aim at your feet.... fire and he will die and you will have full health. M203's are lame and are for those who can't aim a gun.

agreed, the assault class is "brainless"

Re: M203....

they had to include something in the game that was, well, effortless. its easy and effortless killing. n00bs have to start somewhere, and its usually the assault class.
