Whats the problem with the M203?

[FoxtrotBravo]

Ok, I'll admit, I'm somewhat of a "noob" at Socom. I got a PS2 a couple months ago and have been playing Socom III for about 3 weeks, but Im not stranger to games like it, but I usually play them on the computer. 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 dont use it to commit suicide and I dont 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 dont see what all the whining is about. So tell me, if your against the M203 and the other nade launchers, then why?

if your using it to blow apart a sniper that is too afraid to peak out, go for it.

if you load up with extra ammo and use it as your primary weapon, get the **** out my sight.

thats all i have to say.

^Yeah, thats understandable, if your running around and theres a guy 10 feet in front of you and you use that, then thats pretty stupid, but if you use it to blast someone out of a window or building then I dont see what the big deal is.

Personally i hate 203s on socom. once someone in a room switches too the 203 it almost instantly changes the whole game. first a couple people start using them then before you know it everyone has them. i hear a lot from people who use them say they paid for the game or its in the game so why not. well you know what i paid for it also so if i am in a room and the MAJORITY doesnt want to use them then yes i will participate in voting them off if it comes down to it. sometimes i find rooms that love 203s and i just find a new room. the best is when im told it takes skill to kill with a 203 lol thats always a funny one. nothing worse then playing FAULT and 10 out 16 dopes have 203s aimed at every opening just shooting random frags praying it kills someone.

www.socom3.com supports the use of any gun in the ways you feel necessary. Although, if you ***** the gun, you're a douche. Using it tactically, is perfectly fine.

I totally agree about the Fault comment and a few other boards. I usually have to wait for a minute or two to even dare walk through an opening...I think 203s should be used more tactically than to just sit there and hope someone walks into your shrapnel.

Uusually if I go in a game and one person starts using a 203, just like someone elese said, it changes the entire game. Kinda like those small sniping boundary maps...someone crosses and suddenly everyone gets pi$$ed.

There is nothing wrong with anyone using a 203 except maybe on fault and citdel. People can use it , and people really need to learn how to counter them. Just dont be seen and sneak up behind the person using the 203. I personally dont like them, there are much better things I could use in my attachment slots.

Im starting to use is just like a secondary many times I even forget that I have it... Is realy good for killing snipers... also if I spend a whole magazine in this guy insted of reloading I just go for the M203
