I feel the same way. I never use it though. I just can't stand when people run around with it out and kill themselves and me with a blast because they can't take me in a gunfight. It just sucks the fun right out of a game.

People just whine when they get killed by it because they think its unfair, well war isnt fair. Zipper trys to make the game as relistic as possible and in real life wars they use M203s. So if some one whines about it tell them to **** OFF!!!

I have'nt really gotten a feel for what gun I like to use the most on the game but sometimes I enjoy using the M203 to blast some people out of buildings or destroy a group of 3 people who are clumped together. Yet, everytime I use this gun, people go crazy and whine like hell. I don't use it to commit suicide and I don't use it in an unrealistic way like blasting someone 10 feet in front of me with it. Whenever I get back to the lobby with it people chat to me telling me to drop it and they're really mad. My friend in my clan said it was against "socom ediquette, a rule passed down from socom I". I laughed and said that was the most pathetic thing I've ever heard. If its in the game its legal to use it and anyone I kill with it has the right to use it too, so I don't see what all the whining is about. So tell me, if your against the M203 and the other nade launchers, then why?

use whatever weapon works for you. Pretty soon a different gun will become "noob" Thats just the natural evolution of the SOCOM series. The truth is that you are more likely to get sniped than 203ed. People just need to come up with a reason to die besides "I just got killed because I wasnt paying attention"

For the record: M203's werent in S1 (unless they were cheating). It was introduced in S2

The original quote (mine) is "There are no N00B weapons, only N00B targets"

For clarification, N00B targets are those who complain about "N00B" weapons.

My biggest and really only complaint with the m203 in Socom 3 is that people use it like an assault rifle, they run around with the gernade equipped and when you see them, you are finished, almost instantly. It is meant to be a support weapon, used to launch gernades farther than people can generally throw them. When the game first came out, people would run around using them like morons, just to get their kills up. If they are used sparingly I don't have a problem; it's not like S2 where when one idiot pulled it out, the other team went to 203s and RPGs as retaliation.

Maybe it is just the rooms I play in, but I haven't seen anyone really dominate with the 203. The Airburst has dominated some closed maps, but to combat, you just have to start using a lot more grenades to clear tunnels/passages in front of you.

You can always use smoke, if someone is giving you a hard time with a 203.

It's whoever created the rooms fault to allow M203's and precision explosives. With as big as the maps can be, I'm all for the M203--especially with vehicles.

People just need to quit being idiots and running in a pack together. The ones who b*tch are the ones who are obvious. Position someone to snipe out the grenedier...or pick up one yourself.

Instead of trying to put the fire out with tears, fight the fire with fire.
