I dun use the rocket launcher btw, but if it works why not use it ... ?^DD^GRiPS wrote:
If you use it all the time as a primary - FUCK YOU! get some skill.
I suppose there's a bit of people who complain about it. I, for one, have. And, sure, you can say, "If it kills, it's a kill." It may be a kill, and it may just be a game, but the point of games is to have fun. My idea of having fun isn't making someone elses' playing time, which is supposed to be fun, miserable by running around a corner, even when there is UAV and they only see one person around it, and they KNOW that person is there, yet they still lob a 40mm at them just because it's "easier."http://wiki.bf2s.com/weapons/assault-rifles/grenade-launcher wrote:
Grenade launchers aren’t really effective in close range combat, you have to have a direct hit to kill an enemy, or you will miss them, and its easy to do damage to yourself. Some people are actually very proficient with the grenade launcher in close ranges, and long ranges. Though using grenade launcher on people point blank is generally frowned upon. Unless you are using it in one of the situations described in length above, you should keep the assault rifle out. Nothing is more annoying then confronting someone to have him switch to a grenade launcher and blow you away without so much of a fight from him. If you run into someone that is firing bullets at you, answer with bullets, its very unsportsmanlike to then blow the other guy away with the grenade launcher.
I have nothing really against tactical use of the grenade launchers (medium to far range shots, especially to take out enemies they know are there that aren't exposed), I just don't enjoy when people hop around in alleys with it and blow you (and themselves, sometimes) up in close quarters. It's as pointless as a medic running into an artillery barrage just to revive someone, only to be blown up right after the revive, also having their teammate die again. It's a move of desperation which, to me, shows that the person has no idea what they are doing.
patience my son ... patch 1.2 is coming =]
the only thing i got to bitch about the GL is this:
a few times i have been killed a 203 that didnt even blow up near me. the shit just passes near me, i die, and then i hear it blow up like 5 secs later. wtf???

Lag for one... ^^
There is nothing wrong with the GL; at the feet I hate it, but it's part of the game. No one is complaining about the Hand Grenade, I see the same thing in that; jumping and lobbing away, but of course, it takes awhile to detonate. Having fun is also part of the game, even if you have to wait 15 seconds. I've learned to use it also and not bitch about it, there is nothing you can do, but enjoy it; what do people want? Everyone running around with butter knives on God Mode except for new people? Just deal with it, laugh and move on. It does suck when you get so far to the flag and have one person toob you 2 inches away, but it's part of the game. Flame on.

I still fail to see how being killed by the GL is somehow more unpleasant than being hit with an arty strike, shot by a tank round, shot with a pistol or being stuck with a knife. The difference is all a matter of perception. It sounds as silly as if someone were to complain that they don't like to be killed by tank rounds or rifle bullets.dustincase wrote:

You don't see how selfish a statement that is? What somehow you have a divine inspiration to what right and wrong are? What all you complainers have done is to force others to adapt and play according to a set of rules and style of play that suits you. You claim that your idea of fun is not to detract from others game, well, that is axactly what you have done by complaining until EA changed it. When the GL goes through the nerfing process, some enjoyment of the game will be lost for me.dustincase wrote:

i personally hate people who shoot a grenade at you in close proximity and kill you in one shot when it would take you 3-5 shots with bullets. Im not saying they have any less skill and Im not saying I have any more ... but when I shoot at someone with bullets, i want to get hit with bulllets and not by someone who believes the only way to win is to get one-shot kills. And for all the people wh think its fine, you are the ones who are lucky and dont deal with it that much, or you are the ones that do it.
god it never gets old stickin it teh n00b launching whores
i only use it as a long range as i simply now and hate how fukin anoying it is when you but a guy down that you can berly see then sum faggot comes up and nades you
USE KNIFE AT CLOSE RANGE hell yeah
USE KNIFE AT CLOSE RANGE hell yeah
wear a fucking tampon jesus christ bitch some more
This is a videogame. You can expect to be shot at, it is a first person shooter afterall. You can expect artillery to fall right on you when you hear it whistling. You can expect someone to run up on you with a knife if you're a sniper. Call me crazy, but I don't expect some jackass to run up right next to me and shoot a grenade straight at the ground with intentions of it blowing me and/or them up. They have the assault rifle for a purpose, and it's not to just have a place to mount the grenade launcher attachment.Darth_Fleder wrote:

I play my game. You play yours. I don't tell anyone how to play. I may not like how you play, I may taunt, I may complain, but I will never tell you how you play is the "wrong" way. Don't make something of my words that isn't there.Darth_Fleder wrote:

My apologies for ruining some of your fun but if enough people are saying something about it, it may actually be an exploit instead of legit use of the GL. I'm sure when they designed the game, they didn't have it in mind for people to do that all the time. Maybe on a few instances as a last move of desperation, but not using it exclusively. If they wanted that, they would have included an actual grenade launcher.
WHOAH What the hell are you on man? This thing has beeen ressurected and macde a pact of immortality with Saten. KILL IT!!!! Ok so you dislike the "Noob Tubers" SO DO I!!!! so do many other poeple, find a way to kill them or try and avoid maps like KarkandTehSeraphim wrote:
Can we go ONE FUCKING DAY without a post about a bunny hopper or GL whore? Jesus Christ you people whine too fucking much. I mean, this IS a complaint forum, but this is beyond dead. This is so dead, it's been killed, resurrected, and fucking killed again. Get over it.
General question to all those who complain about close range GL kills.
If you were running down an alleyway, with your grenade launcher out, and a guy comes round the corner right in front of you. He's got an AK101. What are you going to do? Your primary objective is to stay alive. You can either blow him away, or you can waste valuable seconds changing guns. By the time you get the chance to fire, you're dead.
I hate it when people blow me away at close range with the GL, but what the hell else are they going to do? Stand still and let me kill them since it isn't nice to blow people up at that range? As long as people dont go out of their way to kill me in this way, i'm fine with it.

the trick is not to run around with a grenade launcher out, its a SECONDARY weapon, though all those lamers use it because its a 1 hit kill weaponDUFFKING wrote:

Im guessing the new patch is going to damage whoever fired the nade if they did it to close. That seems the most reasonable.
Ok here is the thing about the Grenade Launcher. It's a gun, it is supposed to be used, but I realize it can be annoying when somebody uses it all the time.. Yes, I feel ya.. but still it won't do anything to complain about it.
Tip # 1: Develop a strategy to use against.. noob tubers.
Tip # 2: Don't complain about it, there is so many already.
Tip # 3: Stop finding that person.

That is exactly what you are doing in this next portion of your quote. You are telling me that running around with GL is the wrong way to play (i.e. not 'legit) and that it an exploit and not to use it exclusively.dustincase wrote:

And, yes, I'll call you crazy for not expecting people to run up and kill you with the GL and because you seem to be of two minds on some issues.dustincase wrote:

It appears that you're just going to find something with anything I say and completely misinterpret it. So I am done. There's no need in wasting time. Farewell.
