Lol why do you people complain about the grenade launcher so much...

I enjoy playing with infantry weapons, the nade launcher is a great tool and if you can use then by all means do. I won't complain

Same with bunny hopping. If it keeps you alive then by all means...

Umm.... your not considered a noob tuber if you use 50%....your just a whinning bitch.

This happened to me:
I spawned, had the assualt gun at Karkand, an American soldier came down..took me out. No problem, I spawn BAM! on the ground from the grenade.....I said no problem he ran torwds me to take the spawn. I spawn again BANG! on the ground again....getting alittle mad.    Spawn again and run on to the east ally then  head twords the American base.... round the corner then BANG! on the ground for the 4th time and  I killed him too.

He called me a noob tuber(I killed him by giving him 10 bullets to the head....wtf?).

(While this was happening I watched him kill others with it in the top left corner.)


Then I made a vote to kick him, and in literally 20 seconds, he was gone.

SOOOO funny to watch him hell at us "WHAT DID I DO??? YOU NOOBS!!!"

Fahrenheit,

Well said, well spoken!

A little excerpt from http://usmcweapons.com/articles/M203/M203NF.htm

usmcweapons.com wrote:

With this weapon system......allow[sic] the enemy to mass for destruction, but not for an attack. The M203 gives the individual fire team and squad the ability to cover their frontage similar to what the company can do with mortars.

Practice, practice, practice. That is what is required to become proficient with the M203. The low velocity 40 MM round is more susceptible to wind and therefore requires more practice then say, the M16 in windy weather. Watching inexperienced Marines fire this weapon engrains the notion that this is not as simple as it looks, however, once a Marine catches on to sighting and aligning the weapon, the accuracy increases dramatically. The hardest part to firing this weapon is getting rounds to fire. I am not sure of the cost per round, but in my reserve unit there is always a limited supply, resulting in a lack of sufficient practice for the Marines who carry this weapon.

Not every Marine in the rifle company will carry this weapon. In the infantry units, only the Team Leaders in each squad carries this system. Each Marine is assigned a specific weapon. Initially the Marine carries the M16. The average Marine carries the M16 for a majority of his career. As they gain in seniority and experience (and a position is available to move into), the Marine would then move to a M249 SAW. Finally, upon reaching the position of Team Leader, they would be assigned an M203.

With seniority and experience comes the responsibility of mastering a new weapon system.  I say mastering and not just learning, because the Marine must become a master of the weapon in order to function as a highly effective team member, reacting to all situations appropriately. Marines don't want to rely on other Marines who "almost" know something.

The n00b t00b is only a n00b weapon when you use it in certain circumstances.  Like when you are point blank and you shoot the n00b t00b at the ground, jump and don't get killed.  Yeah thats being a n00b.  You should always die when you use it point blank, simple as that.  Shooting a sniper 100 meters away with the n00b t00b, is not n00bish.

my first thought is:You got a rubberneck?

2nd If your useing and admiting to using a m203 round at 200meter, you sir are the worst of the worst. Skill? Not hardly. Spam? Uh yea. If you'll notice on the top of the noob tube is a RIFLE!! WOW neeto misquito! Guess what? ITS SOLE PURPOSE IN LIFE IS TO FIRE BULLETS FROM 1-1000METERS.(not sure max range maybe 1500)anyways, skill my friend is knowing the sniper is there, rolling out and busting a round right down his scope.
The grenade launcher is very very handy weapon. This is how i like to use it. (One on one) Only rifle if i have line of sight, grenade launcher if he's behind something.(Two or More) Grenade launcher into the main body of the group, and rifle bursts to finish them off. Never waste a round on one person. Now i have had the launcher out and no time to switch...but i always feel like i cheated myself if i get a kill.
  Let me tell you why u like the "GL" as u call it. The grenade launcher does great damage and you dont need to be so accutate. You can just spam it out there. You really get more of a psychlogical effect with it. People think there dead instantly. I use to think like that, then i learned the guy holding the grenade launch most likely isnt a good shot. Sometimes Im right sometimes Im wrong. Tell you what tho ive made alot of guys miss and they paid the price.

Oh and if you had a rubberneck you could suck your self, which is pretty much what you doing makeing a tread bragging about what ranges you can spam. Have a nice day.

That's definitely a drawback in CQC. That’s when the handy rifle, pistol or knife comes out though.

A little off topic, but this would be a wonderful addition to the game.

Look folks:  A kill is a kill.  As long is it isn't hacking the game, or using an exploit, it's all good.  You may say, "Any clown can use that weapon, it doesn't require any skill."  My reply would be, "Then good for the folks who use it.  They should certainly be racking up some good kills."

Let's talk a little bit about skill. 

Let's say you spend ten years learning Karate, and some guy jumps out of an alley with a pistol and demands your wallet.  I'd be willing to bet you have more martial skill than that guy.  Are you going to fuck around and use that 'skill' on him?  Only if you're an idiot.  There's a pretty good chance he can move that index finger faster than you can play Karate kid, and if he does, all that skill ends up in a puddle on the ground.

Long ago folks used the longbow as a long range anti-infantry weapon.  Then along came the musket.  Longbowmen were, by all accounts, more skilled.  They were more accurate, and had better range.  Nevertheless, Armies were tripping over themselves to get musketmen.  Why?  Because you could train a musketman in a quarter of the time it took to train a longbowman, and you didn't have to pay them as much.  You line up a shitload of them, point them at the enemy and fire.  They may not hit the guy they were aiming at, but they hit something....and that something ain't happy.  Any army stupid enough to rely on the superior skills of thier longbowmen get their asses handed to them.  In the end, skill gives way to utility and speed.  Anyone who doesn't take the point dies. 

So take the point.  If someone can use that weapon to get lots of kills without any skill, I say, "Damn, that's a powerful weapon."  Maybe some of the 'skilled' people should use it and see just how skilled they really are.

If you got the skills you described, then i respect you too. But those noobs running over S@K only tubing everyone they see (worse: camping and tubing :-! )are pissing me off. They're sitting in their corners and WHAM without a sound, or even a little little sign you're dead... tubed. It's just unfair, why can't they use the standard firing mode? It takes a lot more skill!

I have been pissed because I got ownd by a bunny hopping grenade launching idiot!!  But that was at the time I got ownd.  The fact is that this is a war game and when you are in you do what you gotta do.  If you get killed over and over by the same person doing the same thing, who is the idiot?  Change your game plan.  Bunny hopping is irritating but if I was getting fragged in RL and thought that jumping around like an idiot would keep me breathing and get the other guy dead, I would be a jumping idiot. 

Just get your WAR ON!!

I agree. If you hit me from 40 feet away, Congratulations. If you pop arround a corner, bunnyhopp, nade me and yourself, your are a n00b t00ber. Simple Enough.

Let me get this straight...

* It is okay to use a tank to clear out enemies.
* It is okay to use an Attack Helicopter to dismantle enemy squads.
* It is fine to bomb enemy camps with the F-18's.
* It's cool to use APC's to clear up enemy soldiers...

... but it isn't okay to use the Grenade Launcher at any time?

Give me a fucking break. To all the people who have a whine when someone pwns your sorry ass with the Grenade Launcher, think about your own bias' before accusing someone of being a n00b. I am just miniscules away from my 1st Sergeant promotion and the Grenade Launcher has been my favourite weapon of choice, followed closely by the standard Assault rifle firing mode.

They say "everyone" is good with the GL. I beg to differ. EVERYONE can shoot the thing at close range and get a kill - but not without killing themselves too.

Can everyone lob a GL shot 200 metres+ and take out an enemy sniper? Can everyone turn 180 degrees and launch a shot in the air to have it land SMACK on top of the car that just whizzed past you which is now hundreds of metres down on the road? Can everyone launch it high into a building and take out that enemy soldier who has the advantage of height over you?

I think bloody not. I poured hours and hours into using the GL - into MASTERING the GL, and it has paid off. Everytime someone has a whine about someone else using the Grenade Launcher, I just lay it into them even more.

I am not a close range GL soldier. But I use it just as much as I do the standard firing mode. (Check my stats - I'm currently in the top 4000 for the Launcher and I'm still just a Gunnery Sergeant.)

At the end of the day, I think people who accuse of n00b tubing are just trying to help themselves sleep at night. If it is SO bloody easy - go ahead and use it on that n00b tuber. See how well you do. I know that I for one will welcome any challenge from a GL player - heck, I RESPECT the GL Players.

As of yet - (Probably because I'm in Australia) I haven't met anyone who is consistently accurate with GL. I would like to meet my match though.

n00b tube? I think not - whatever helps you sleep at night, princess.

Umm yeah i read the first post, and couldn't be bothered to read the other 2 pages, so I just thought i'd comment on that first page.

Anyways, as for "everyone is good with noob-tubes" and you dis-aggreed with that? I agree with that.  I SUCK with the noob-tube (then again, I've only used it for 11 minutes out of 95 hours).  I must admit, dying once by a noob-tube is fine...Maybe twice...3-times, yeah...but any more than that and it really starts to get on yer tits.  Simply because if you're 1 on 1, DAO-12 or G3 vs Noob-tube... The noob-tube will always win.  1 shot kill.

Just my 2 cents, sure I don't like it, but I don't complain
oh and I certainly don't use it
