Ty very much, this is just as bad as an M203. it DOES NOT take any skill to use it. Getting killed by an airburst is just as annoying as a 203 and if u absolutly need to use the airburst, go play in an unranked room becuase you killing everyone elses good time wth ure noobish tactics.

People are still saying the launchers are nooby, give me a break. I still considered myself a noob so I DON'T use them (expect in single of course). I want to get better. However, I will get a M203 with Smoke and/or Red Smoke just to be a punk. Shooting people with them or just filling up the area with smoke. Though if you hit a mine with them it will go off. I have one comment on the Zx25 Airburst though, it is supposed to be a HE, but it doesn't do jack to vehicles or breaches(doors, the missle launchers in Riposte's Primer etc...).

i like the airburst if i'm having an off-game and just getting pwned. But i've never used the thing that this thread was origionaly about, i'll have to go try it in a minute... So i just hold the button down where i actualy want it to go, and then aim anywhere and it'll guide its self there?
am confused :)

Notice the range finder on the crosshairs. If you just hit the fire button it will shoot like normal, but if you point at something and hold down the fire button it will lock at that range, then the next time you hit the fire button it will exploded at that distance or if it hits something first.

Why not limit snipers too? Like on Day of Defeat on the PC. Its way more realistic. Why not give the snipers one clip, and with 2x ammo give them 2 clips? To the topic: AIRBURSTS RULE. Like the other guy said, its the purpose of the weapon.

What is the point of locking in a distance with the airburst? Why not just shoot it?
