THE GEWEHRGRANATE - MY GOD I LOVE IT!

**THE GEWEHRGRANATE - MY GOD I LOVE IT! -** 11-10-2002, 02:37 PM

You know what, this weapon has TOTALLY made this game for me. Whether its lobbing nades at allies out of your line of sight, or popping them with a bullet in the head, this weapon is just outstanding. I dont mind losing the PANZER if this is what we get in return.

Of course, there are going to be complainers. Someone wanted to kick me for using it, and I was called of course a "nade-whore", 'n00b", etc. etc. And that's fine, just makes me laugh even more.

But lets get real here folks, this thing is just a mauser, with the ability to shot nades a LITTLE farther than you can throw them, with detenation on impact. THATS IT! If you pulled the pin on your nade and lobbed it at the right time, it'd do the same. And there are ONLY 5 nades on it anyway.

The thing that balances this weapon in my opinion is its splash damage. You WILL be killed if you are rushing with this weapon and have the NADES already attached. No if ands or buts about it. I even tried firing a nade up into a room above my head, and STILL got killed. So, this is still a long range weapon, but you are going to see ALOT of "FUCkUP TRIPPED ON HIS OWN GRENADE"s.

Either way, I now love rifles (couldnt stand them in AA).

GOD BLESS YOU EA!!!!

Yeah, I see your point. But I was just in a game where all the axis were either using that or rockets. Gets kinda anoying when you go out in the open to run for an objective and you get pelted with 10 of these things. I don't really mind nades but the fact that it explodes on impact is shitty for me.

I guess its ok to use it. What I truly hate is the kamakizi guys who run up to you and shoot you with it from 2 feet away and blow themselves up too. These guys have no skill whatsoever.

So I gues i'm one of those complainers. I don't think this weapon will die off like the rockets because it has the rifle with it. Well at least most of those who use it won't beable to hit me with the rifle when they run out of grenades.

Exactly, I was killed more times by asses with this weapon in a close quarter situation in which they killed themselves as well. The newbs are gonna whore it to death. Sure it has great tactical promise, but 1% of the peeps playing it our going to use it to it's full potential.

personally i find this weapon completely gay. its cool if u have no skill whatsoever but the kamakazie lamers can suck a fat one. i cant wait till this weapon is modded out of servers. or until someone makes a mod that in order to launch the nade u have to be stationary. yeah ed im complaining about this weapon but because of it i am completely turned off by the demo because every tom, dick, and hairy nuts uses one.

Are you pissed cause folks kamakazi it - or that you keep on dying?

I mean - if you were any good, you'd see them coming right?

Well the two hand in hand.

I can't see the future, if thats what you mean. What I don't like is when I come around a corner and this ass has the grenade and fires it right in my face kimming me and him. Its just stupid.

It takes no skill what so ever? Can you drop one in a window from 200 ft.?
Most I see can't even figure out how to shoot one across the sub bay. They try to use it like a bazooka.
In the hands of someone who can use it, this weapon is awesome. It has a greater range than the mortars, and if you know how to use it, it's an unpleasant suprise for most.
One thing it isn't is a close quarter weapon. One thing I would want for it would be the ability to unload the cup. Most run around with it loaded, I wait for a target or target area, but even then, one gets suprised sometimes. And when that happens, I do wish I could drop that grenade out.

It's great, if your not a tard. Quit yer whining.

11-10-2002, 04:14 PM

someone should just make a mod to be able to 1: unload it and 2: have a minimum range. not exactly realistic with the range but neither is blowing yourself up

priest39 · 11-10-2002, 04:16 PM

It's impact detonated though. ?

If it can be done, someone will.

Problem is, most peeps playing are tards. hake:

Yeah, that's right. If somebody were to do that with an SMG (or even a shottie, that's what they're intended for after all), I wouldn't complain. But with a rifle grenade, that's just dumb. They should be used for long range tactical fire and people shouldn't be running around cramped streets with a loaded grenade. In fact, if they aren't proficient with a Mauser (or any other bolt-action rifle), they shouldn't be using it.

The thing is folks, these maps have some VERY cramped space on them. And it IS a long range weapon - MAUSER and NADELAUNCER. And at least the game DOES NOT reward suicides.

I think it IS a very dangerous weapon in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to use it, but those that do, that can lob it over corners and into nooks and crannies should be applauded.

The great thing is I'm finding out what a useful weapon the rifle is once you have lost your nades.

And YES there REALLY needs to be an option to take off the nade. Many a time I have needed the RILFE and have to pop one off ( ed: ), to get back to my rifle.

11-10-2002, 06:40 PM

they need to:
A. give the allies a garand grenade
B. limit the number of these weapons for both teams

because, while like people said it is a good tactical weapon to help your friends by indirect fire (what the real thing was designed for), there are too many n00bs running around suiciding with the things.

Again, if EA was smart they would do a "forced squad" system like America's Army, where the more people you have the more heavy weapons you are allowed.
