Grenade Launchers

chaos4411 · 12-23-2004

Ok, sorry if this is up but I did a search and didn't see anything about this. Who thinks grenade launchers should not even be a gun in Socom 2? I see a lot of people using grenade launchers in rooms now, and its getting annoying. If someone is on something high like a building and see you coming they don't even use a gun they use a grenade launcher. Or if it is a long firefight the guy with a grenade launcher would just take out a his launcher and shot. Does anyone else consider the grenade launchers cheap?

i think there should at least be a harder trick to using it. like along aiming time or something. and im pretty sure theres something already on this but, w/e, its ok.

I got a solution for you, if you dont like it, get better and take him out first, they arent gona take a gun outta the game just becauses a couple kids think its cheap, an eye for a eye my friend, use one too if he kills you with one, simple solution.

If they're not spawn-killing or commiting suicide with it just to kill you, i don't really care if they use it or not. But yes it can be annoying sometimes cuz its way more easy than throwing grenades!

If they made it where you have to reload it after every shot for the 203 like in real life, and maybe it took a little time rather then sitting there firin nade after nade, then I'd be ok.

I agree with Metallimax though.

Hmmm, interesting P.O.V, the issue the launchers isnt the lack of skill on my behalf but rather the lack of skill needed to use it. If the team with the m203 were to have everyone use one it would be concievable that they could carpet bomb the entire world , ( 8 people on a team, 6Xm203 = 48 frags) which would equate to two things , first and foremost a lag hell and secondly a lot of kills for the m203 team.

Think about NightStalker, geez, you can shoot from spawn to spawn and within 30 seconds have a more than a couple of kills.

No Skill, No fun,

I love the grenade launchers. I use them at every available opportunity. I feel that I'm good with them because in several months of using them, I only have on friendly (unintentional) kill. In my defense, I hit the top of the Terrorist Base in Blizzard, and my teammate was about twenty feet from the base, and, obviously, on the ground. I get a little nervous being around other people with them, though, because very few people seem to be able to distinguish between enemies and people with names floating above their heads. I don't mind enemies using them either, even if they're getting lots of kills. I would do the same thing in their position.

With friendly fire off, yes they are quite lame. But then again, so is playing with friendly fire off.

Secondly, they can at times yield many "easy" kills. This is an excellent opportunity to hide somewhere for as long as the nade orgy lasts, then jump out and snipe them with a crappy handgun. It makes it more fun in my opinion. Just alter your gameplay to accomodate the enemies weapon selection, execute a plan with precision, and they will be forced to stick their launchers where the sun doesn't shine.

well, they should let the m2o3's only for the users with no rank cuz they're new. That way, they would learn the basics first and then get bettr and bettr and stop usin it u kno...either that or just take off the m2o3
